I take it you own a petrol station, then.

And aren't you Brits meant to place "history" in "inverted commas" when using it next to the word "American"?

Welcome to ClassicOlds.

Welcome aboard.....from North Texas

Man 70's D88's bring back memories man. I was a wild *** 15 yr old in early '79 on a rarely driven road in the Lake Arlington area of Arlington, Texas...driving my daddy's bbf's 1976 D88, topped a hill into a cul-t-sac and drove right up onto an Arlington Police officer in his car. That was a trip :facepalm. Yeah we got questioned about why I hammered the brakes in a panic as a 15 yr old w/o his permit. Classic and most definately a life memory.

Enjoy your stay here at CO....welcome again


You and Hammond LOVE american cars YES!!!!

Welcome aboard Carl. Looked at your album - this looks like a recent project of yours? Gotta say it's the first time I've seen a 73 Delta 88 with racing stripes though.

Hey Carl, weird driving on the wrong side of the car eh mate!
Great to see another '73 Delta88 going strong. I couldn't work out which donk your mistress has under her hood from your album, 350 or the 'big one'?

I just bought a 1973 Delta 88 Royale convertible (for $1.00). I have been after the original owner for thirty years, and he finally gave in. Can't wait until it's in my driveway. All the best of luck to you with yours.
