Beautiful 1977 Delta 88. Brings back memories of when my late mom owned one. It was gifted to her as a Christmas present back in 88. It was red with a white vinyl top and beige interior. That car lasted up till around 98-99.

Good Lawd, girl! When my baby brother got out of law school in 1984, he got married, had a daughter, and bought a 1977 Delta 88 Royale. Many years later, I bought a 1979 88 Royale coupe. One owner, 53,000 miles, $1,500. We still talk about those cars. I can't tell you how many automobiles I've had, but I can tell you that '79 Olds was the only car I ever loved!

B body platform I think people are saying all cars in general appear the same Ford Toyota Buick Nissan Ect. Wich is true. GM was swapping engines back then but I've never heard of the Pontiac 301 in a Buick and Buick never made one maybe owner mistake

It is not unusual for an auction description to be wrong. The Allstate had a V6 listed as the powerplant! The " look alike " has been going on for many decades. Try to find your 1932 Ford in a parking lot full of early '30's and late '20's cars.... Today, one just looks for a white, gray or black SUV.... easy peezy!!!! 😂😆 Thanks for watching and commenting, Duayne.

I'll say one thing about US cars from the period , in the vast majority of cases they color keyed the headliner to the paint of the car, pretty well unheard of in other manufacturers. Undecided whether that was a good thing or a bad thing. Yellow, Green, Puce?...interesting complexion you have there Mable.

@Pamela Hirschhorn My neighbor had a 75 (I think) Olds Delta 88 convertable, white 2 Dr, white top, I grew up as a teenager drooling over that beauty. I always thought I would have one someday but at the prices now, no way.
