I'm looking for the wood grained dash fascia for my '81 Olds 98. I believe any of the Olds 88 and 98 from 1977 through 1984 will work. This is the center section housing the radio and climate controls. I would prefer one WITHOUT the hole for the rear defogger, but may consider if I have no other options. Obviously, I'd prefer one in very good to excellent shape.

 

I have these two, I think.

 

Good examples, crazybout.

There are 2 different types. 1 with a gold band, and one with a black band.

Black band is 77-80 and gold is 80-85

 

J, Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Can you see if that CAA sticker can be removed without damage? Possibly try a hair dryer, as I've found that any sort of cleaner, even soap and water can damage these old surfaces.
I took a chunk of woodgrain off of mine when my wife used hand sanitizer to stick a suction cup for my GPS on my dash.

Thanks

Kerry

 

sticker came right off! and no damage! Interested? Let me know. Thanks.

 

pm sent.

Thanks

My experience is that the gold band is from the 98's and the black band is 88's. Not sure about Deta Royal dash. Regards, Trent

 

The counter-sunk "band" was 1977-1979.

The lighter wood grained "pin-stripe" was found on all 1980 & after.

1980-1984 Ninety Eight
1980-1985 Delta 88
1980-1987 Custom Cruiser ***

*** The 1987-1990 CC had the lighter woodgrain with the bigger radio cavity.

There is super low-mileage black 77 Ninety Eight on eBay at the moment that looks as if someone tried to paint the counter-sunk band on the center piece silver.
