New Oldsmobile 98 Owner

Hello,

I recently acquired a 1982 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency Sedan with a 307. I am in the process of reviving her from 5 years of garage storage. She only has 55,000 miles on her and is in excellent condition. I'm looking forward to getting advice from this forum.

Welcome from Southside Vajenya.

First thing on your list should be acquiring print copies of these, because I can guarantee even the folks at Valley Cadillac (and Olds till the demise) will have little idea how to do more than basic service on your car 40 years later.


I have a similar vintage Custom Cruiser as well as a 1976 Regency Sedan. Others here also own early-80s Deltas and Ninety Eights.
