Chevrolet Pulling Plug on Camaro – But an All-Electric Successor Already in the Works https://www.thedetroitbureau.com/2023/03/chevrolet-pulling-plug-on-camaro-but-an-all-electric-successor-already-in-the-works/

Yes, I am open to a bucket seat models as I can swap the cluster to digital. I have done it before myself and see it done on Trofeo trim levels. I am still looking and still saving in the meantime.

Thank you so much. It is appreciated.

Thank you for looking David. It is appreciated. I saw that white 1990 before too. Right car, wrong year. I have enough to buy that one too. It has been sitting up there for a few months. It was owned by a former GM executive. I will share what I am looking for and why I am looking.. My 1992 black Toronado was in an accident in May 2021. I bought the body parts to repair it and the body shop started working on it, but they never finished. It has the body panels on the car, but they were supposed to paint it and they never finished. I admit it was difficult to restore( the damage). I knew I had to let it go. It is still at the body shop unfinished sitting on the lot. I have been looking. all year. I am looking for a 1991 or 1992 Toronado with option package ISB and AM6. I will work with a bucket seat model. I bought a spare digital cluster and have it read to swap if I end up with a bucket seat model. I have done the cluster swap before. The colors are open game, but I do not want white or red. I will take: gun metal gray, platinum metallic, dark garnet red( maroon/ the purple looking reddish color), dark sapphire blue, medium sapphire blue, dark green gray, black, light driftwood. I have had red , canyon yellow( rare) and black( most recent one). The reason why I do not want a 1990 is the steering wheel controls did not appear until 1991, and 1990 has some unique to 1990 features or parts that would be hard to locate or find. Ask me how do I know. The 1990 has a different anti lock braking system compared to 1991 and 1992. I have worked extensively on 1991 and 1992 models and know them. I have looked on all the sites online. The only one I cannot access is Facebook marketplace because I do not have a Facebook account. So the quest continues daily. It is out there somewhere. I am driving my 1996 Ninety-Eight daily. Right now it looks like a vehicle on the GM proving grounds like you see in spy photos or used to in the magazines back in the day. LOL! It needs paint correction, the headliner done and a small tear in the driver's seat. I am prepared for that. I am, torn though. I want to either paint it the dark green gray color it is or paint it black and it look like this one:

I was looking at that Toronado in your post. It got sold. If it was available, I would buy it. The reason I know it was sold is because I went looking for it weeks and months ago and it was not on the website/dealership it came from and I saw a photo of it at a Oldsmobile car show that I get a newsletter from. I hope to find a 1991-1992 Oldsmobile Toronado non Trofeo trim model. As far as the Riviera:

This is a nice 1964 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight and a nice 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix bringing more Pontiac excitement to the gallon back in the day! Thank you for sharing..

Well stated again. The downsized 80's Ninety Eight( 1985-1990) had one issue... It and the Buick Park Avenue and Cadillac Deville from the same era all looked alike. Lincoln cashed in on that too. GM paid a heavy price for downsizing and the styling. Over at Chrysler the New Yorker and Fifth Avenue looked like a GM C Body car. It looked like a Ninety Eight from the rear.

Great post. People have said for years that the back of the Ninety Eight looks like a Cadillac or a Lincoln. I have heard different stories over the years. I heard GM designers and industry people say that Oldsmobile styling was influenced by Cadillac as the GM divisions underneath Cadillac trying to aim for Cadillac. I must admit the back of the 1990's Ninety Eight and Lincoln Town Car are quite similar. The taillamps are very telling. It can also be said the late 1980's and 1990's New Yorker/LHS and Ninety Eight also looked similar See this intro from an 80's tv series:

Look at you Drew! You go ahead and post! Just do not put me out of work with your new videos. LOL! I often think about you when I post the many videos I post here. I am shocked that so many of them get so many views. I am always looking for new stuff to share. I smile when I see people leave comments on some of them. I think about you when I post the older Oldsmobile Toronado models videos too. Sometimes I do have trouble posting some because I do not know where to put them at times or the subject covers several models or brands at once. I find a place for them eventually. The subjects and where I find them vary. I have had to subscribe to a lot of different channels on You Tube too. I think it is great you are learning the software and video editing.

It will be interesting to see what videos you will share. Thank you Drew.

Beat me posting again. Thank you for sharing.

Beat me to it to post it... Thank you for sharing this article. The front of the concept reminds me of early 70's Buicks.

I liked this article. Thank you for posting. It is true. The only way now it seems to get a sedan is to buy used. It is sad that it has been dying a slow and painful death in the United States. They still have sedans elsewhere especially in China and Europe. Some of the sedans that are dead here are alive in well in China: Ford Taurus, Lincoln Zephyr, Cadillac CT6, Buick LaCrosse and Buick Regal. I know Volkswagen Passsat recently died too.
