Welcome to the site. Just go through the car and check everything out to make sure it's safe and functional.

Welcome Oldsmo.

Hard to tell from your avatar but it looks like your car has the U39 gauge package, electronic climate control and the very cool DIS. You could only get the climate control on a 1SD optioned car, which means you have keyless entry and a host of other nice stuff.

What is "1SD"? And yes I have the climate control which blows extremely cold but ONLY while driving, when I stop it begins to blow room temperature kind of. I need to research all my options I have along with the keyless entry activation and usage, thank you for that information!

Your car looks like a nice clean example.

1SD is an option package or group. You can see that the only way to get electronic climate control was to have it. You have a Brougham, which has a much nicer interior than the standard Royale. The other thing that you don't have is the R8A option which makes a much nicer all around car.

Are you sure this is a Brougham? I don't see the "Royale Brougham" scripting on the sail panels. Unless the square emblem on the front fenders says "Brougham".
