1969 Oldsmobile






1969 Oldsmobile 98. This car got 8 miles/gal in the city and about 13 miles/gal on the highway. Had a good ride and usually power everything. Timing chain crappy at about 100000 miles. Pot metal. Once replaced it's OK. Maybe engine could get 300000 miles before overhaul. 18 feet long and 7 feet wide. Weight about 4500 pounds. Nice luxury inside with ashtrays in the doors. Could be ordered with custom stuff. Also had the ragtop. This was RWD. Came with no shoulder belts (till 1970) and AM radio. Also a similar Delta 88 and the Tornado (FWD).
