1965 Delta 88, second owner

Just another member with a B-body boat. Found this Delta 88 in April on craigslist. Price was right and the car was local.

Blue sedan, faded interior with rear defroster and rear speaker as options (besides the usual ps/pb combo).

Car is now in a garage for the winter, waiting for the spring thaw.

Former Oldsmobiles:

65 Jetstar 88 holiday coupe
65 Jetstar I
67 442

The car was repainted once in 1999. Original color was dark blue (still visible in door jambs and under trunk lid).

Olds64,

Just noticed you are in Lawton OK. I spent some time at Sheppard AFB. Never say any 60's Oldsmobiles for the year I was there.

I love Lawton, OK. I moved here a couple of years ago with the US Army and once I got out the wife and I bought a house and decided to stay. Now we plan to raise our family here. I went to Sheppard AFB this summer for an airshow. The tarmac is BIG!
