What does Veeky Forums think of the Olds 88?

Anything with the Buick 3800 is fine by me. Although the later 98 with the S/C is the best of the last Olds.

I like the older ones better.

Much more comfy.

They really started the American powerful RWD V8 Sedan trend.

this, I almost but the car same as in your picture for my first car in yurop (i was too late it was already sold), I'm still mad to this day

Amazing. Sometimes it feels like Oldsmobile never bounced back from design black hole of the seventies. Just sort of lost it's will to live and faded to black over the next few years.

I still love them though... I really like the movie Fargo because, among other things, the Oldsmobile dealership scenes.

so when they put the supercharged L67 in there it actually changed model names from 88 to LSS

so its just the 199X Oldsmobile LSS

actually it only just started kicking again when they were killed off.

they were going to start their own performance brand/trim for vehicles called OSV "Oldsmobile Speciality Vehicle"

they had one for the Alero and the Silhouette.

there was also a Intrigue OSV

obviouslt these have aged horribly, it was really the rice division. other Olds experimental cars from this time were all rice too.

Piece of GM shit. I know somebody that bought a brand new Cutlass Calais sedan in 1990 and within two years the paint started peeling on the car. After 60k the thing broke on a weekly basis. Everything from coolant/oil leaks, to the ignition switch, to the motor surging,etc.

They ended up selling it in 1997 for $600 to a corner mechanic. That was when the car was fairly new. Imagine owning one now when it's 25+ years old. How many of these cars do you still see on the road? That should tell you everything.
