Thanks, Somename. I knew we could count on you. Will save a link to this page for future reference. Back when I was younger and those cars were new, I memorized all the detail differences but as I approach 60 the memory fades and I have to refer to old notes/photos. I did recall in some years the Delta 88 and Delta 88 Royale had different grilles and that one year the Custom Cruiser had a unique grille. I think though, you meant to say the subject car is a Delta 88 rather than a Royale. Changing listing. -- Last edit: 2014-03-27 14:30:31 |

^The Delta 88 and Delta 88 Royale used the same grill; the plain Delta 88 model being dropped after 1983. Now the Delta 88 Royale Brougham did use a different grill in 84 and 85; the Brougham model being on the left in this picture Royale model on the right. The decision must have been made fairly late for the 84 models as the Oldsmobile brochure shows the Brougham model still using the same grill as the Royale model; but examples in a web search show it shares the grill with the 98 that year: Link to "blog.hemmings.com" Here are the Custom Cruiser front ends: 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987-89 1990 -- Last edit: 2014-03-27 15:29:01 |
