1979 Delta 88 Royale sedan

Saw this at a local car show this morning. No price given. No one around to ask. No year given, but I'm pretty sure it's a '79. The original dealer plaque on the trunk lid is local, suggesting the car has been here in the sunny southwest all its life. The deteriorated paint job on upward-facing surfaces also suggests many years of sun exposure. Has the typical loss of the plastic bumper fillers on the back side. But probably solid underneath. Someone looking for a new project? Car is in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The area code of that phone number is 575.

My grandparents had one just like it in a pale light blue.

Looks very much like my first American car, which was a 1979 Delta 88 Royale.
Mine was a rusty diesel powered example, after I rebuilt the engine twice, not aware I needed new head bolts, It went for scrap.

It is a '79. I had a '79 Coupe. It was a great car.
