1976 Oldsmobile 98 Regency & 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale - Preview 

Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Thank you,

Your black two door......that is such a handsome car. Looking forward to the comparison.

These cars were everywhere as I pedaled my banana seat bike around town as a kid. Looking forward to the video.

those big oldswith the 455 word just the greatest It was like a freight train on the highway

Adam, I look forward to this reunion of old Oldsmobiles ;-)

That pillowy upholstery in the 98 is like butter lol.

That’s classic in true form. Love these cars. Somebody mentioned the wire wheel covers. They used to be a vibration nightmare for those of us in the tire industry. They were so heavy that in many cases we had to spin balance the tires with hubcaps on right on the car with an old Schildemire wheel balancer. When we increased the speeds beyond estimated 60-70 mph they would literally change shape as the g’s increased. Ah the good old days. But still they were great days with great cars, issues not withstanding. Looking forward to the comparison.

Nice cars in Center Line High School teacher parking lot the school which I graduated from many years ago. Thanks for your video! The 1976 Olds 98 is like a baby caddy!

I had a 1976 98 regency. Best car I ever had!! I am now 87 and had many cars in between but still loved my 98 regency the best!!

Nice car, brings back memories .

that 1976 4-door is one of my favorites!🏆

Cant wait for the full review. I could listen to these 2 gentlemen all day. The more i listen to them discussing their magnificent vehicles the more i am convinced i was born in the wrong era.

We will never see their like again , for all their faults , true classic pieces of Automotive sculpture 👍🇬🇧

Part of my fascination with the 1971-76 GM full-size models was the engineering required to accommodate the styling. The long, very articulated (driver side) wiper arm, the fascinating Glide-Away tailgate, and especially the maneuvering of the windows to navigate both the tumblehome and the massive half-B-pillar on the four-door hardtops. When lowered, the front door glass slides radically forward and actually cants out at the top, taking it out of plane with the corresponding back window. And of course the sill plates under the doors are canted out, and the interior door locks lean in. Even the frame under the car was chamfered on the lower outer edge rather that being a simple C or box section. Only a Boeing product had a stronger fuselage orientation.

I look forward that that video that is coming!

Both are fantastic can't wait to see the comparison video! 🤩

I like both Oldsmobiles so I am really looking forward to seeing this video!!! 👌

My uncle had this very car during his college years. I remember we broke down on the side of the road because of a busted radiator hose. Had a massive exhaust leak but I remember it being fun till he hit a deer and totaled it.

I too loved the 1976 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight and Ninety Eight. I worked at an Oldsmobile dealership when they were new. Brings back a lot of great memories.

I've always been impressed at how much the square headlights changed the look of this car. Honestly, the front clip wouldn't really change from that basic look on many GM, ford, and Chrysler cars for almost 15 years. And understandably- it's a clean and distinguished look.

Can't wait!!

had a 75 silver and gm red delta 88 Loved it so much

Dude, you're teasing us big time 😁👍🏻

Both are perfect.

I just love those squarish early-to-mid '70s GM headlight bezels wrapped around round bulbs. Round headlights for the win, usually! The white four door must be a '76 - look at how much its grills and headlights, and the whole header panel, resemble that of the downsized '77-'80whatever 88s and 98s.

More Marc!

Wow...you hardly see these hardtops (the 88). It seems like they mostly have vinyl tops, refreshing to see one. Excellent example, love it!

A hood ornament used to make a car special.

Lousy build quality, poor mileage, smogged up performance, and yet so beautiful my heart sings when I see them ❤️👍👍. Love those mid 70’s boats!

Way better than my 2013 Chevrolet Impala.

Luxury In A Smart New Size!

Oh, you tease, you! You should have chosen an excerpt from the "Salome" Richard Strauss opera where the title character does the Dance of the Seven Veils.

I think the black one looks a lot classier. I just like the styling on your 75, though both are very nice cars

I love the front end treatments of all the 76 full-size GM products.

Very nice, rare automobiles, I wish they had the high compression 455 V8's without any smog equipment.

Good idea ! And music coming... 🤣

I think I prefer the looks of the 75 to the 76. I just have a thing for round headlights.

Those were the Oldsmobile full size models for the 70s. The 98 Regency was a three volume sedan back then

I'm looking forward to this comparison, as generally speaking I find these cars fascinating and depressing all at once. Various aspects of the design of each GM make's "standard" size cars are wonderful, but the execution and cost cutting are often just so half-assed and cynical. And, we Americans bought them by the tens of thousands.

both are beautiful but love the black one

I had the exact same 98Regency but it was a 78

I would love to get an Olds 98 with the optional Air Cushion Restraint System....GM was ahead of their time with that.

Hence the automotive term “Large Barge”. No backup camera needed. Just keep going until you hear the “crunch”.

I took my girlfriend who is now my wife to the prom in 1983 in an Oldsmobile 98 regency it was red she had a red dress on WOW

Music covered the engine startup sound

If you have any autos with the AIR (smog) pump. I would love to have you give a detailed explanation of the system, what they were trying to achieve with it and the possible positive and negative effects it had on engine performance. Also, your opinion if some one currently has this equipment, whether to keep it functioning or just remove the whole system. Keep up all the great work. P.S. my '72 Cadillac Coupe de Ville in New York had the smog pump.

Wild. The '75 has a colonnade roofline while the '76 is a four-door hard top. How do they get away with no B pillar?

Hi Adam I had no voice sound until the very end.!

On the 75 Delta 88 Royale, what is the third fixed widow back called? You have the door window then the rear quarter window than the ????? window. Thanks.....

It would be nice to hear what they are saying

👍👍👍👍👍

Those bumpers messed up almost everything they were on. Pontiac probably did the best job with the Firebird.

When I see a 1976 Olds Ninety Eight, I see a Cadillac, or a Buick. Subtle changes to the exterior did not conceal they were all the same car. I looked at the history of Oldsmobile and I like the 1969 Ninety Eight and the 1969 Delta 88. No "cow catcher" bumpers.

I've never noticed how small people look when they drive these aircraft carriers around

The 98 makes the 88 look mid-sized. 😄

I grew up during this period and the Jimmy Carter period gives me bad flashbacks, sorry!

WOW very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.

Funny I had a 70 Tornado that had as much power as those two 455’s in one 455 ;-) They were nice driving cars (my dad bought a new big olds every two years through that era). They were let down by smog, safety and bumper standards along with poor assembly and component quality.

Where's Marc from? He sounds Irish?

I prefer the 75

What’s the music please? 🤙

Are you kidding? Olds 455?

It would make more sense to contrast models of rhe same model year. A 1976 88 coupe compared to a 1976 98 coupe. This is basically apples and oranges.

drag race?!?!?!?

They’ll make a nice yard piece after they do away with all gasoline, hope not but that seems to be the agenda

Well you can’t hear hardly anything with the music playing along side, silly

Either you simply have a gime machine to go back and get these cars to show us or you have been hoarding them over the years to film a period correct movie about a car salesman set in the 1970s LOL.....would be cool for them to be a movie prop at some point as long as they didnt get damaged.

Adam, what made you think the monotonous, degenerate "music" should be necessary?

Please, please please, do not degrade your channel with this "the whole video is B roll with copywrite free music over it" This is the worst of youtube. Keep your videos high quality, and don't stoop to this garbage.
