1976 Oldsmobile 98 regency sedan rocket 455 from North America
Summary:
An affordable American classic
Faults:
The transmission failed soon after I bought it and a idiot friend ignored a warning light, leading to a cracked cylinder head a few months later.
General Comments:
This was a very capable automobile for road trips.
That Oldsmobile handled every situation with aplomb.
It was the ideal ride for a trip to the drive-in.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The 1976 Oldsmobile 98 was one of the last true full size 98's in my opinion. In the 70's my family owned a 1970 Olds 98 LS sedan. That car was awesome, it had every imaginative option for an automobile from that time era. I remember my father wanting to purchase the 1976 Olds 98 because the style was going to change in '77. Currently, I would love to get my hands on a 1970, but also think the 1976 98 is a great looking car! It's streamline, and has a lot of style like the 1970 did! Just wanted to let you know you're lucky you have 3 of them!
