My 1968 Olds 98 was a great auto, mine had no A C but was fast, safe and could get 26 mpg. One of the best cars I ever owned; next was a 1971 98 and a great car too. Next came a 1984 98 little down sized but another GREAT car A I think that was the end of the best OLDSMOBILE S.
I’m getting one of these my daddy had one when I was young Crager mags white letter tires semi loud Chrome tip Dual pipes painted dark plum with plum leather interior hard top 💩🤬😍😍😍😍😍 damn I just felt that car stayed extra clean even in Chicago winters of the 70’s
This was exactly my ‘almost 1st car’ in ‘98. The man down the street from my grandma was selling this 15 year old garage kept beauty for only $3500 then. Dad thought it was too big for me; I told him he was too old. Olds 98 ‘68 in 98, green on green. This is the epitome of a working man’s luxury vehicle.
This is takes me back to 2000 when this was my first car. I was just 14 when my dad bought it for me and I learned to drive on his 79 Caprice Classic. I had a white "town sedan" version of the 68' Olds Ninety-Eight with that 455 Rocket under the hood. My interior was not as nice as yours, all roll up windows and manual locks with a weird bluish green velour interior and black vinyl top. 36k was on the clock. That baby would roll too😁. I really want to find another or a Caddy of the same vintage. A neighbor had a Buick Wildcat. Been a huge fan of full-size GMs since and I now own 3!
I love these....My uncle Joe had one, & I still remember the dial for setting cruise control. He was a General Manager for GM, at Fisher Body in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Nice car!! I’m had a ‘67 98 w/427 engine I believe and then a ‘69 98 w/455 2 barrel and it had police interceptor transmission which had a button just above the accelerator. You could be doing 100-110, let off has, push button and stomp on gas and she would fly!! Don’t know how fast it was but speedometer needle was straight down and to the left a little!!! We figure about 150+
I prefer the pillored Luxury Sedan but this is still a beautiful example of GM design excellence from the mid to late 60s. My favorite 98 LS years were 1966 to 1968
Does anyone know if its possible to open the hood more than he has in the video? My dad bought one of these and we cant find a way. It seems a little odd. 🤔
Beautiful, beautiful car. If I'm not mistaken, this is the same model car Teddy Kennedy was driving the night he drowned that woman in his car in Chappaquidek Creek in the summer of 1969.
@@Everetttango1it definitely went faster than 100. My dad was stationed in Germany and the army paid to have his Olds shipped. I remember picking it up with him from Bremerhaven. When my mom drove it on the autobahn, she would routinely and effortlessly drive over 110 mph. It definitely had plenty more grunt. It was such a big car 100 mph seemed like 60. 😂
Oldsmobile made the finest cars in the world. It was the death knell of GM when they got rid of that division.
Back when they made real cars. Real luxury. Thanks for posting.
I love and miss Oldsmobile!!!
A beautiful car, thanks for posting.

All the cars mentioned are smooth rides. For that era I had a 66’ 98 LS and a 70’ Olds 88 it had the 455. Several Oldsmobile year models after that.

Very Beautiful Vehicle 😊
My first car was a 1969 98 regency. 455 rocket, car would fly but only about 10 mpg. Had to use premium or you’d get a knock
Nice clean design, especially that tail end. 👌
Very nice , my first car 67 98 coupe red.
This is one of my favorite luxury cruisers of the late 1960s.
Great cars❤

Perfect ❤️

Wow, thank you for showing this one of a kind car. It's really just a step down from Cadillac but I'm sure it's improved in some ways as well.
The olds 98 and Buick 225 were for the guys who had the big money, they built the caddy for the guys who wanted everyone to think they had money !
Majestic Oldsmobile!
it has the influence on the dashboard to 98s from 1977 to 1984 .
This car is so Awsome in feast condition. Unbelievable this is nice .
Great condition
Wow what an origal beauty I'm jealous,lol.
That is a sharp car. Love it! The front corners could cut a deer in half
Ouch, poor deer
👍👍👍👏👏👏🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙂😁 American car manufacturing what’s the best in the world and one time probably still is but not like before
Nice car friend, bet she rides on a cloud.

When olive green was a normal color.
How’s life at the North Pole😂
If you don’t own it,buy it. If you don’t let me know so I can 🤞Awesome car.
Won't somebody please bring one of these to La Canada next Saturday morning?!
What did it go for? Would help pricing mine. Only 20,000miles so far😊
get it out of Snow

That was a 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88.
Definitely a grandpa car.
130 is nothing for these 455's
Nah,100 tops
I drove mine at 120mph
