Classic Cruiser: 1972 Oldsmobile 88 Royale Convertible

Lean-To Find: 1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88

60k Miles? Two-Owner 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado
I think anyone with gasoline in their veins was a little sad when Oldsmobile closed its doors for the last time. It doesn’t make any difference that General Motors’ sales couldn’t really support so many brands as their market… more»
Drop-Top Swan Song: 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88
Other than the Cadillac Eldorado (which would go one more year), 1975 was the last year for convertibles at General Motors (at least for a while). Discontinued at the end of ’75 were full-size ragtops from Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac,… more»
Supreme Convertible: 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass
