1983 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Brougham


Specifications


Description

 

The Oldsmobile 98 is the flagship model of Oldsmobile.

The name reflecting a "Series 90" fitted with an 8-cylinder engine — first appeared in 1941 and was used again after American consumer automobile production resumed post-WW2. It was, as it would remain, the division's top-of-the-line model that carried on into the 1990s as the bread and butter of the full-size Oldsmobile lineup until the Eighty Eight-based Regency replaced the 98 in 1997.

Since it was the top-line Oldsmobile, the series had the most technologically advanced items available, such as the Hydramatic automatic suspension, the Autronic Eye - an automatic headlight dimmer, and Twilight Sentinel - a feature that automatically turned the headlights on and off via a timer, as controlled by the driver, and of course the highest-grade interior and exterior trim. All pretty flash for the time.
