Bill, I haven't seen a 1974 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Regency since high school. Just like seeing an old friend drop by for a visit. Thank you for showcasing such wonderful cars.
I got my driver's license in 1970 and I certainly recall when these were new. A friend's Mom had a new 73 Delta 4 door. Lime green with green vinyl. It was not garaged and looked terrible in about four years. Anyway this white one is beautiful so it was really maintained and meticulously kept. One observation: It is so nice and so spotless that it just stands out. Back when they were just used cars 90% of them had dirty white walls and unpolished paint. That is what makes this one so fun to see.
We regularly sat 4 across in the back in ours. We calculated 7 MPG with the 7.5 liter / 455 ci engine in mixed driving, on leaded regular. Mom drove this car late 70’s to early 80’s, but Dad did all the car buying and he wouldn’t have anything less than the 455 in those days. Ours was yellow with the same color interior.
I have a 71 98 Luxury Sedan w/ 13k original miles & I just love it! My 20 year old son & I drove it cross-country last July & she operated flawlessly! It was a gamble…but life’s short & we both love adventure. Besides…that 455 w/ the TH400 is bulletproof.
Amazing interior. Nowadays we talk about soft touch material at key contact points. Look at padding on door panels. Top of door. Where left elbow resides, so soft and plush. Great presentation and one of a kind vehicle. Well done.
Beautiful car from the period. Special place in my memory here. My cousin bought one of these new in 74 and he let me drive it to school a couple of days while he was visiting us. His was the LS Coupe. The car was a dreamboat.
It's amazing that a fifty year old car could be in this condition. I've seen a million of these back in the day never gave them a thought but this one is sweet!
Yes, and I am glad you guys can see that. MOST of the cars I look at are in such bad shape and I have to pass on them. It is not common to see one in THIS condition! Thanks for noticing
Better than anything you can find new today!!! I’d love to see you get a ‘73 deVille and show it on a video! Lots of similarities between the Olds Ninety Eights and the deVilles! Cadillac hit the jackpot in 1973, turning out their one millionth car! ‘73 had the best deVille model!!!!
Dated a girl who had a ‘76 Olds 98 Regency. I was driving a ‘68 Chrysler New Yorker at the time (late 1980s), and even I had trouble piloting her Oldsmobile. Very mushy handling compared to the Chrysler, though the Olds had a smoother ride. And a very cushy back seat 😜😍
Another mint example that shows how good the cars from that era were. Now they are expecting us to drive overpriced milk floats! I am sure that this will be another one that will find a new owner very easily.
I mean it is another one of those cars you just don't run across all the time in this condition. LOVE it with all the windows down! @@Sergissandaclassic
It had been sitting for many years had 78k miles on it. I had a lot of maintenance work to do , got tags in May 2020 and have driven her almost 10k miles so far. Im at Holden Beach. I ran across your video this morning and heard you say Competition Cars and was like , Cool. I wish I knew more of the cars history. I know the top had been changed to the 1st gen fastening system.
@@christianbugatticg she would rev that poor engine so hard in 0 temperature that the engine would backfire and stall then she would rev it even harder punishing it to teach it a lesson flooring the gas pedal in her boots leaving a ton of smoke and a big oil stain on the street, this went on for 10 minutes every morning!!!
Yes, I could not find a set so I had to buy the next. year's model mats. They are as correct as I could produce. Still looks right enough vs weather techs. Lol

I appreciate it! And they made so many of these but you rarely see them this nice!
@@christianbugatticgPeople stared to diss them because of fuel consumption, but that aside they were sumptuous and beautifully built!
@@jimmycricket5366 Thanks!
1972 was a special anniversary year in. Conjuction with the Tiffany company very beautiful interiors
Yes, I think they were a shade of gold, correct??

Love the story! I am glad you can see how well preserved this car is. Not many made it out of the 70's as well as this one did! lol
love the seats
Super comfy!
I owned a 1983 98 Regency Brougham back in 85-87. What a ride. Friggin loved it.
Pretty much a Cadillac!

Wish I could find more like this in the shape it is in!
Did your mom rev the engine hard in the morning
What a beautiful Regency. Love the color combination. It's interior is in amazing shape. I'd love to cruise down to AC in that car!
Right!!

Man that is awesome!!!!! Nothing like hitting the road in a BIG American Classic!!! It is great to make fond memories!!

Thanks! Very very plush and fancy this one is!

Nice! Love hearing these stories!
Oh my is that beautiful! I love Olds 98's and that one is exceptional. Another one I wish I have room for in my garage!
Thanks! And this will take up some garage space for sure!
Wow .. classic beauty, now and then! ❤❤
Absolutely!

Great looking car Bill!
Why thank you!
Had this with a blue interior, loved that car 😢.
Ohhhhh, we had one a couple years ago with dark blue interior, and it was so pretty!
Fantastic classic olds, ❤ it, happy to find your channel B
Nice and I am glad you like it!
Olds are great cars from 70s n 80s
They sold so many Oldsmobiles, it was hard to see them being one of the first brands to be dropped. So sad....
Goddam thats gorgeous. Next owner should be proud
Thanks! LOVE it with all the windows down.
You sure know how to pick the best Bill. What an Oldsmobile 😈🤗👍
Thank you!!!!
DAMN! That’s NIIIIIICE!!!!
Thanks!
Better than anything you can find new today!!! I’d love to see you get a ‘73 deVille and show it on a video! Lots of similarities between the Olds Ninety Eights and the deVilles! Cadillac hit the jackpot in 1973, turning out their one millionth car! ‘73 had the best deVille model!!!!
You are correct. And did you say 1973 DeVille?? Lol

What do you know about the back seats?? LOL
A gorgeous car! If the antenna is the only thing that needs fixing why not just fix it? Then the car is basically perfect.
Mechanically, yes, although with any car that is 50 years old, there are a few small touch ups!
Another mint example that shows how good the cars from that era were.
Now they are expecting us to drive overpriced milk floats!
I am sure that this will be another one that will find a new owner very easily.
Yes they had so much more style!!
Absolutely 💯 beautiful
You may have seen this in person! Haha
And may see it again in person! LOL
I'd love too see this in person again! I regret that I didn't see it more 😉
I mean it is another one of those cars you just don't run across all the time in this condition. LOVE it with all the windows down! @@Sergissandaclassic
Beeeeeautifullll!!!! Another great car!!!
May head West, it is a possibility!!
@@christianbugatticgwhaaaa??? Where? Sergio's place??
WOW !
Good way to put it! lol
I own a 1990 ZR-1 that has a competition cars decal on the bumper.
Really? It has to be red or white. How long have you had it and did you get it directly from me??
@christianbugatticg
It's white on red and I bought it from a cop in Pawleys Island in 2018 who traded a Jeep for it from a guy named John. #2822

I want this cars.my dad's car.
Oh wow, your dad actually owned this car?? I sold and went to California.
I have the 1981 model.
NICE!
My niegbor use to rev the daylights out of her Olds 98 every day warming up the engine hard with her foot on the gas pedal hard punishing it
That 455 can take it! Lol
@@christianbugatticg she would rev that poor engine so hard in 0 temperature that the engine would backfire and stall then she would rev it even harder punishing it to teach it a lesson flooring the gas pedal in her boots leaving a ton of smoke and a big oil stain on the street, this went on for 10 minutes every morning!!!
Oh wow! Well yeah it should warm up a bit!! @@amitamir1413
Floor mats are wrong. Should be dark brown and carpeted
Yes, I could not find a set so I had to buy the next. year's model mats. They are as correct as I could produce. Still looks right enough vs weather techs. Lol

I think in about a week or less.
👍👍
