1975 Oldsmobile 88

The early to mid-1970s saw the last of the truly full-size Oldsmobile Delta 88s, a model that Olds built for five decades (1949-1999). The seventh-generation Delta 88 rode on a 124 inch wheelbase under the GM B-Body, offered a long, sculpted design and spacious interior, and featured standard equipment that included vinyl or cloth upholstery, power front disc brakes, and flo-thru ventilation. Moving up from the base Delta 88 were the Custom and Royale series. The Custom mainly added power steering, while the Royale could be had with leather upholstery, a vinyl-covered roof, deluxe steering wheel, and special paint package. The Royale was available as a two-door hardtop or two-door convertible, which came with a power top. By 1974, the cars standard 350 cu-in engine got a boost to 180 horsepower, and that continued through 1975. Collectors shopping this era of Oldsmobile Delta 88 will want to seek out the Royale line, with its enhanced comfort. Convertibles are especially attractive, mostly due to rarity. Of the 118,082 Delta 88 models built for 1975, only 7,181 were Royale convertibles.
