Hey guys. Quick question. I'm trying to tag and insure my limo but i can't figure out wtf the model is. It's a 1974 model so they cant look it up using the vin. Has a 455ci in it if that helps.

 

That is a horrible picture. If it's an Oldsmobile it's an 88 or 98. It looks more like a Buick to me.

 

Post the vin

 

The nose is about a 1972 Buick Estate Wagon. The side marker lights are not from that car, however. The rear door and rear quarter windows have been customized. This may have been a former hearse or otherwise custom-built car. It is not an Oldsmobile, however, unless Buick sheetmetal was put on a Custom Cruiser.

 

Not sure why you mention Custom Cruiser, it appears to be a sedan, and if it's an Olds, most likely it is a stretched 88 or 98... the VIN would clarify what the vehicle started life as...

 

It looks like a stretch limo with six (6) doors. The rear section is black. Notice the rear tire is behind the rear door.

 

You are correct. Sorry, I looked quickly at the very dark photo and I thought it was a wagon or hearse. It is a stretch limo. Still a Buick front end.

 

With the six doors it's what they used to call an airport limo. If you can identify who made it the Professional Car club may be of help.

 

Interesting article on airport limos from Hemmings.

Not exactly the car in the first post, but you can see similar doors used on the 1972 Catalina in the article.

 

Bumper strip looks like buick . But no port holes on the fender. Could it be a Buick with olds fenders ? Buick had white insert the bumper strip alot. Looks like a chevy grille.

Joe, the third picture in the article looks almost like the back end of a 1978/1979 Delta 88. Am I just imagining things?

 

Apparently.

 

Sorry, 4th picture.

 

In that case, you are correct.
