Ohhhh.... it's a Regance. Haven't seen one of those in a while. That's the maple red velour, I believe. I'd be half afraid to start the engine with it being dunked in ArmourAll.

Cheers tho. A thousand cheers.

I prefer the styling of the 77-79 model, but this is a very nice example right here so cheers. It also happens to be the same color combo as my Delta 88, black top light yellow/cream body.

Sweet Ride, having grown up with Delta 98's both in 4 door sedan and station wagon versions, this is a very cherry ride. Nice wheels.

Sweet car...love how long the decklid is.

A buddy in high school had an '81 Delta 88 sedan...dark red, black vinyl top w/ a sunroof, red interior. Had been a diesel, but he and his dad swapped in an SBC. Always liked the B- and C- bodies of that era..

I'd say Jeers, 80s styling, especially on sedans just wasn't that good. The W126 S-class looks cool, and one of my favorite 80s cars that I see as a classic/collectible is the Mercdes SL, which was actually designed in the early 70s. But this was a bad era of automotive design. I guess the 70s was the worst, but 80s wasn't much better.

^ That era mercedees gave us monstrous, cheap, grey cladding... cheesy; good riddance.

My grandfather had this era 98 Regency Brougham, so I know this car well.

His was a pretty nice chocolatey vinyl top over a copper-ish body, but beyond that it really did nothing for me.

Super-Overstuff option in full force. 307 in his was breathless at 30 MPH (I drove it).

Car is super clean, but I'm just not an Olds guy. No vote.

I like them also...have one in at home that I drive on occasion...200k mile tank..still solid and squeak-and-rattle free, but those repair bills get $$$$...
