Kind of tough to answer that question. What country are you in and what condition do you want would be two of the obvious conditions. Then, are you looking for a particular year?

Here are a few in my area alone, not too hard to locate in Kansas City.

Here is a convertible that was in OKC about a month ago. Apparently they aren't too rare...

Just looked close at his pic- by the car's license plate, Luis is in Guatemala! I'd bet you don't see many big 70s US cars there, for sure.

The square headlights were a mid-70s "lighting improvement" but I think they were done more for styling benefit than lighting benefit. 1975 98's had the rectangle headlights, then all Oldsmobiles except Omegas got them in 1976. Most American cars switched to them by 1978.

Hi Luis,

You have a 1976 Olds Ninety Eight coupe. It's hard to tell from the picture if it's a Regency or an LS. The LS was the standard model 98 and the Regency was the top of the line which came with the extra padded pillow-top seats, a digital clock, "Regency" quarter windows and a few other upgrades. The LS would have emblems behind the front wheels, on the front fenders saying "LS". Either way you have a great car on your hands.

I have 2 1976 Ninety Eight Regency Coupes and they are EXCELLENT cars! Good luck with yours and let us know how we can help you!
