I've been an undercover infoMOOCHER for long enough...

My name is Ken, and I'm the owner of a '75 Delta 88 Royale Convertible. It has the Rocket 455 and is still running on many of it's stock parts. I've gotten valuable information from this forum, including tonight when I spent an hour fishing around for my turn signal flasher. Thank you all for your generosity. I figured it was time to come out of the shadows, introduce myself...with the eventual goal of contributing. For now, I'm a relative newbie living just outside Atlanta. My WHIPP is a daily driver that serves as a form of meditation for me. More than anything else, the car hold nostalgia for me, as these are the cars my dad and uncles drove. I'm sure to post more questions than answers in the near future. Thanks again for providing this space for Olds owners...

Very nice. I had one just like it back in the 1990s except mine was red. Same engine. Sold it in 2001 to help pay for kids' college. The photo is from 1995.

Welcome,when you find this many people with an interest in Oldsmobiles,and some have driven them for 40+ years,your answers to your questions are usually answered. Do you show your car some on weekends? Larry

Thank you for the warm welcome....

I've not been able to respond to every welcome post, but I've read every one...and thank you all. With all the stuff going on in our world, I LOVE how cars and sports just seem to bring so many of us together and transcends a lot of the BS that we allow to separate us. Thanks again for the welcome.

Ken
