taxiguy ◊ 2008-03-01 20:53	No, that's an Oldsmobile for sure. Cutlass I think, but it might be a Ninety-Eight... EDIT: It's a 1977-1979 Ninety-Eight for sure. -- Last edit: 2008-03-01 21:03:42
car nerd ◊ 2008-03-01 23:40	Yes, Oldsmobile 98.
rjluna2 ◊ 2008-03-01 23:45	Is this 1977 or 1978?
taxiguy ◊ 2008-03-02 02:54	I don't think there's any noticable difference between 1977 and 1978 (except the grill maybe) -- Last edit: 2008-03-02 02:54:45

mister car from 971 ◊ 2008-03-02 21:21	It's REALLY an Olds 98 because of the rear fenders: in fact, the 88 has different ones.

chevy5 ◊ 2008-03-02 23:21	I agree with taxiguy, 77 /78 difference IS grill, and the tailights confirm me that is an 98 100% sure. -- Last edit: 2008-03-02 23:21:31
