ben68 ◊ 2005-12-10 13:35	I think MrCadillac could easily confirm I'm possibly wrong, because after having a look at some Oldsmobile 98 pictures from that period, I think you're right Pilou by guessing it could be an 1971-75 Oldsmobile 98.
Saturn Simon ◊ 2005-12-10 15:15	This one has me stumped too, but I don't think it is an Oldsmobile (especially not a 98) as they tend to have vertical tail lights whereas this has full-width horizontal.
