"Over sized sedan with style of an old movie star"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Exhaust manifold gasket blew.

Head light bulb needed changing.

General comments?

This car is floats along the road giving the driver a feel of being in charge of a luxury liner.

Better than my old Rolls Royce spirit.

Room inside for six adults.

Quiet when at speed.

Lots of glass to see out of.

I had the pleasure of owning a 1973 Oldsmobile 98 Regency for seven years. Thankfully gasoline was relatively cheap at the time I owned mine, but it was the best car I've ever owned. At the end of my ownership it had over 300,000 miles on it and needed more repairs than I had money for at the time. It felt like you were driving from your living room sofa as it glided over roads effortlessly, with little or no road noise and plenty of power to spare. The a/c was ice cod and you could bake a cake with the heat on full blast.

I hope someday to find another one, although with gas as high as it is, I may just have to park it and admire it in my driveway.
