1982 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal Brougham 307 from North America
Summary:
Good cruiser
Faults:
Bought my 82 Delta Royal Brougham last year. It's mostly been parked. Bought it for $400 dollars, and it came with carburetor problems. Changed the carb with a 600CFM Edelbrock. Still have to put on the auto choke. Also needs a belt and battery. Had a fuel leak somewhere, but can't find it.
Bought the car because it is very solid, and I like driving big cars. Has almost no rust on it or under it. I will probably regret the carb change, and go back to the original, because original was probably better; just needs to be rebuilt, but will get it going good for fairly cheap money, and drive it for a while.
I need a new hood ornament too, and the paint is faded and the clear coat peeling. Original paint.
General Comments:
Comfortable ride, cruiser, not fast, but glides once you get going.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Those upgrades will sure look attractive. A good car pushed to the extreme sad.
