I don't know where the right place is to say this on the forum, so I'm starting a new thread.
Mscofer, that is a really sharp '69 delta. The red interior and white top aren't a common complement to that paint, but it really looks great! And the wheels really give it a personal and appropriately sport look. Very sharp!!
That was really worth sneaking out to get!
Of course, I have a soft spot for the big body Oldsmobiles............

 

Post in the 88 forum

 

VERY sharp car, all it needs is some Batmobile emblems on the rims!

 

I fell in love with mine. Just got a glimpse of the rear quarters and tail lights as it was parked in a grocery store lot when I was driving by. I actually actively solicited to buy the car from the owner. He was using it as a daily driver and finally relented and sold it to me. Very nice cars indeed. I probably should have never sold it.

 

This is one of my all time favorite cars. It reminds me of a woman with nice big hips

 

The 69 Delta 88 is an AWSOME car. I wonder if that guy in KC ever sold your old one dad?

 

Sharp car. I have a 69 that is blue with a black top. Haven't had the top up in 3 years! Mine has some rust and in need of new paint. As I tried to figure out whether to put the money into it I reviewed other convertibles I might want. I kept coming back to the lines of the 88. It just looks great so I am keeping it. I am not sure when I will get to the body work/paint. Lots of $$!

Glad to see another one.

 

bc, I hope the car is stored indoors.

Son, I have no idea if the guy sold it. Probably not.

 

Nice body lines (like the big hip comparrision) bc, fix it up its worth it.

It is inside the garage and I live in California so I can drive top down all the time. The new cars go in the drive way. They are disposable.
Biggest challenge with restoring it is getting down a plan, determining whereto start and money. The car runs great so i keep driving it faded paint, rust and all!

 

Just a word of caution to anybody reading this who may be a newbie with convertibles, to best preserve the top, the top should always be "stored" top-up. Not meaning to criticize you, bcg88.

 

No criticism, this site is about learning. Agreed it should be up. The hydraulics have been disconnected since I bought it. I need to get in there and fix it one day. One can get it down but it takes two to put it up. Being in California I have no real need to put it up.

 

Ah the things we learn here

Never heard of Sir what's his face

I don't think anybody's made good music since Buddy Holly died

 

Nice car. I have a 69 olds 98 convrtible saffron yellow with white interior , seats have black piping and it has black carpet and top. I am still using spoked hubcaps though they are not what it originally had.

 

Would love to own a convertible but living in Washington state the top would turn green with mold and you could only have the top down 30 days a year. Weather hear sucks. When I retire I will own one a 64 or 65

 

Are you bragging, or getting senile enough to start letting your age slip there buddy

 

nice ride man, like the color combo too.
