That 3800 is a Trooper! <3!

I have had the '89 in white. What an amazing car. And GM's 3.8 is one of their best engines!

This and the New Generation jingle that followed are undoubtedly THE best advertising songs ever. RIP Oldsmobile.

this is what i want all those videos of boomers walking around an old car talking into their phone to look like

This must be a memory of this song for me, I remember hearing it back In 2018. If not, then 2019-2020.

These are such cool cars, I’d love to have an 88 or 89, the later ones just lost a couple features that made it special

I wish these came with the supercharged 3800s.

Ik im tardy to the party, the ses turning on then off usually means a problem occurred but it went away but codes will be stored

I also have a 1990 Buick Reatta . I live a few miles west of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I've driven mine on several road trips. The longest trip was from S,C, to Mississippi. I stopped driving it much, to cut down on the miles I was putting on it ! Last year I messed up, big time, I took it to local garage because a brake caliper was not releasing due to sitting up so much. The guy replaced the wrong caliper, then told me the one giving me problems was due to a bad brake line. He replaced the brake line and I told him we were going to test drive it to make sure the old caliper, that was the reason I took it to the shop in the first place still hadn't been replaced. We drove it, and it didn't ride well. Normally if rides as good as my Lincoln ! The mechanic told me I needed tires, because the ones on the Reatta had dry rotted from not being driven. I told him , ok, no problem... he had a tire machine and he sold tires....I left my Reatta at his shop, I knew the guy well and I trusted him to get it done, even if it meant me paying for his mistakes. I hadn't planned on a sciatic nerve sending me to the emergency room, and having to take rehab for the next 6 months. I stayed with my older brother at the beach to be near the doctors and the hospital. 7 months later , I go home, go to get my Reatta, and the guy still didn't have my tires on, and my Reatta was in field of broken down vehicles ! I held it together, but told the guy, I was going to get my own tires. I ordered new tires, the mechanic put them on, and I brought my Reatta home, It was, and still is, a mess, because someone had left the passenger door open and rain had gotten inside my car! The results were ---water standing in the passenger floor board, mold on the carpet , the electric motors for the seat were shorted out, causing additional electrical issues. The ignition key would not release and the ignition would not turn completely off, All that cleared up today, on it's own, after months of drying out . The trunk still will not open, but I released I could open the hatch located in the rear of the car. I'm upset, but not as much as I was when I brought my Reatta home. My motor and transmission are perfect. The other things I can work on, and I love my car, so it only makes sense, I love working on it . I look forward to my next road trip !

Loved the Oldsmobile complimentary tape that came in my moms 86 Olds, Cyndi Lauper Time After Time came on next.

Im thinking of getting one, would you recommend buying one?

Looks like the dash lights is the problem

Where do u even find parts for this car I have the same car

You have not posted anything recent. Miss seeing your Olds.

Good video. Of course it was a great ride, as it was the premier car of the erra. Just wondering what was your recorded fuel economy. Mine over the road is usually 32 mpg. What did you get?

Love the Trofeo! Nice!!

If you want to sell it please let me know. I am interested in it. Gorgeous car

Thanks so much for showing this! Do you have links to your various products that you used like the polishes, and sandpaper, etc.?

The " mattel toy " version of the former Toro

Our musical standards have really dropped since the 80s. If Oldsmobile was still around, there'd be some autotuned bimbo singing on a mix that'd sound like garbage being dropped on a landfill. Because things like dubstep is cheaper to make and real orchestras would be "too expensive" or something.

Hangout driving 🚗 with cashiersue

Now do a remake on the Regal.

I have owned & driven Oldsmobiles since 1961....88s, 98s, 442s, Omegas, Cutlasses, F85s, a Toronado & now an Aurora. All great cars. When GM dropped Olds, it meant to me that GM had lost its mind!!!!!!

Love this song.. I remember my grandmother had an 85' or 86' Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera.. on top of that my Aunt currently lives in the town of Oldsmar, FL that was founded by R.E. Olds who bought the land in 1916... It's more than the luxury ride it's the feeling of pride that you feel insiiiidddee 😁

I miss Oldsmobile! Owned several and never had a problem. My Dad owned several Cadillacs and they were problematic it seems.

Nice! I just ordered a soft roll-up that looks identical, but the brand is Tyger. I spent $900 on a Bakflip trifold for my full-size truck. I am looking forward to having access to the entire bed on my Mojave.

Hey Paul. I am enjoying your videos on your Trofeo. I am digging mine out now, after years of storage, and trying to get it back on the road again. Mine is an 89, which I special ordered from GM new back in 88. Somehow I feel a special kindred spirit here! Of all the cars I have owned in my lifetime, and I'll be 74 in a few weeks, the Trofeo is the most loved. I don't think these cars get the appreciation they deserve, but I may have a slightly biased opinion. I am video recording my trek to getting mine going again, and at the end will upload to my little RUclips channel, so wish me luck! BTW, new sub here. 🙂

These were great cars nothing today rides that nice, they all ride like shit you feel every bump. I am not sure why you were so surprised that this car was great on a road trip. It was built to cruise not handle the race track. Who drives on a race track?

So fucking sad...gm doesn't give a shit bout their rep now...I mean chrysler is passing them...

Did you have the license plate border made saying “the great American road belongs to Buick?”

Super impressed with what you did! Any chance you could do it again or give me advice on mine? I have the same exact unit on a 1987 Riviera and the first time I tried to put a tape in it, it got stuck. Also would love to see your car if you still have it and you're in Southern California.

So I started to replace my 1988 Toronado with the speaker set you recommended on Ebay. I was not nearly as successful at bending the metal on the speaker holders as you were. Mine are a hot mess and mostly held up now by the speaker trunk covers. My next step is to do the door speakers that crackle the most. Unfortunately, in your video the door removal is sped up and from a distance so it is hard to tell the steps taken to remove the panel. I am very worried about scratching or damaging the door/parts. Any advice? N/M I see the comments below.

Most electrical problems off all old cars are bad grounds! Even if they look good you should clean them up! And they are a lot in there’s GM cars of this era! I m professional mechanic and I (stil) own a lot of these type vehicles of the ‘80s,’90s and on! Start with the shop manual “ground” connections first! Just a tip! I always do that first! My Reatta had lot of problems with bad grounds and even totally corroded inside the electrical harness! Good luck with fixing it!!🍀

I had a '90 Trofeo silver with maroon interior and the touchscreen and I loved that car. It had classic lines and the taillights looked so cool at night.

Well, here is cassette repair I asked about. LOL Guess I should've looked at all the videos before asking. I can't imagine I would ever get it back together if I attempted to take it apart. Mine visually is in good shape but won't open without pulling on it and the play button does nothing. It actually had a cassette in it. I didn't see how you took off the trim around the basket shifter but I want to do that to repair/replace the light. The shift options are not well lit so I think there may be a bulb out.

That's better. Good job. Would have been cool to use a tape camera too

The crappy new logo at the end and in the thumbnail sucks and makes no sense to put in there

Thank you for making this video and putting it on the internet for me to enjoy. I love the Reatta and there isn't much content out there.

My neighbor used to have a Dark Teal Blue Metallic 1986 Custom Cruiser back in the day & I used to LOVE listening to this song on the demonstration tape that came with it!!!!!

i fall more in love with this car every time i see it

Hi! I saw a reatta that I was interested in buying recently and the owner told about how the check engine light was also flashing sometimes so I wanted to know what website or program you used to identify the codes you saw.

Loved, loved, loved my Reatta...1990 white hard top. drove the wheels of that car...people stopped to look everywhere I went. 3.8 Buick indestructible...320,000 miles some idiot hit it. Great car from a time when Buick was building real cars.

I contacted you a little bit ago. What are your next updates planned?

Always liked this car when it came out. Nice to see one again😎

I have a 92 Toro, wondering if the process is the same. Could you go more in depth on how you took off the door panel too?

Hi you did a very nice job. You have a lots of patience I have a 1990 olds Trofeo and I wondered if you could help me where you ordered the headliner material from plus how did you get the sunroof liner off. I live in Canada and there are a very few of these cars around. Thanks & kind regards KIB

Nice video man.

That white arc you pulled out of the pan... have you had any issues? I found one on mine... it's something to do with a thrust bearing in the trans.

I love how this song now has a special feel. Makes it even better than it would've been hearing it back in the day.
