My family owned an Alero, I believe it was a ’99 and it was a piece of s~~~.

My old man passed this one down to me:

She lasted 252,000 miles without any restorations, just kept up with the normal maintenance. I absolutely loved that 88. Big boat of a car, tho not as big as the Delta’s, with the nice 3800 V6 under the hood. Floating suspension, sunroof and also a cassette/cd deck which was nice back in 1996. I think I’m one of the few who like the rather high pitched whine of the engine. Miss the old girl.

Any of you guys have/had any Oldsmobiles? We also had a cutlass at one point which was also great.

Right here! I own/have owned several Oldsmobiles, including 442s. My first one was a ’68 442 with a turbo 400 trans (all numbers matched). Before I sold that one (back in the mid-90s, I also bought a ’70 442 w30 with the 455/400). After I sold the ’68, while I had the w30, I bought another ’70 442 from the original owner, also with the numbers-matching 455/400. I sold the w30 in the late 90s, but still have the other ’70 442, which got finished a few years ago. About that same time, I picked up a Rallye 350 (one year only production in ’70) which is also numbers-matching; also got that one finished in the last year. Furthermore, I just picked up a standard ’70 Cutlass that I’m building into a sleeper street machine with a 550+hp 455 engine.

I never dabbled with anything after ’72, but that last Olds would be a neat piece of memorabilia to have.

Yup, certified Olds nut here.

I used to have an 80’s olds delta 88. A lot of little stuff I had go wrong on it that I learned to fix.

Learned a lot from my grandfather and father on working on cars and other things.

That car would engage cruise control at a dead stop. Hit the resume button,Saw the pedal hit the floor and went up to 45 mph which I had it set before I stopped at the light.

I personally had a lot of problems with gm cars. Now I onlybuy rear wheel drive manual transmission vehicles.

Here’s the classic mall chase scene from The Blues Brothers.”The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year!” Nobody will ever say that again.

There is the Ransom E. Olds Hall of Engineering at Michigan State University. Around 1910 the old engineering building was destroyed in a fire, and what was then Michigan Agricultural College approached Mr. Olds for a donation for a new building. He generously paid for the entire building.

Dad had both an 88 and afterwards, a Cutlass Supreme.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

Had a cherry 1973 Olds 98 with 454 rocket, fast ratio steering and heavy duty suspension package, I used to go ice skating with it without ice skates! I got it up to 70mph then start doing doughnuts! You can run out of ice pretty quick ice skating with a 455 rocket!

The Olds suffered from crap design team that could not draw a wavy line let alone a car.

Never personally but grew up in Oldsmobilies. Dad was an Oldsmobilie mechanic at a dealer back when. Good cars plain dashes no extra trash that they put in cars these days.

When they killed the oldsmobile engine group, they lost the cars soul. They murdered the bodies in the 90s. The last good looking olds was the 80s cutlasses.

My favorite Olds is a 1958 Super 88. They only made that body for that year and it is a marvel of design. Great tail lights second to the 1973 98 and 88 wagon tail lights if you ask me.
