1976 Oldsmobile 98 Regency 455 from North America
Summary:
They don't make em any bigger or over the top than this
Faults:
Air condition compressor froze fairly soon after the car was made drive-able.
General Comments:
Inherited this car from my 92 year old aunt who bought it new in 76. It is a 2 door triple white coupe with only 31K miles. I have named it "Her Majesty". It sat in my aunt's garage for 8 years after she broke her hip and stopped driving. I've replaced all rubber lines, hoses and gaskets, tires, AC system, belts etc... anything that could dry rot.
This is a one-car parade and it really must be driven with one's nose in the air. Seriously, I had forgotten how comfortable top-of-the-line American cars were. It's like climbing into a king-size bed that you happen to be able to drive.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

"The 455 motor is a beast and moves this huge car without effort."
- Don't sell it. If you keep the oil changed in the 455, it'll last forever.
