I bought my first 1972 Oldsmobile 98 in 1978 when I was 18. It was a silver and black 2-door car with vinyl interior seats, an AM & FM radio with an 8-track tape player, power windows, power locks, power seats, and a power trunk button inside the glove compartment. The engine was the 455 with a 4-barrel carburetor.

This is one of my favorite Oldsmobiles.

The 1972 Oldsmobile 98 was an impressive, beautiful car.

My uncle owned a service garage around this time and I always remember him recommending Oldsmobiles to my Mom. Gorgeous.

My parents had a ‘73 98 LS. Battleship Class. Great car.

I always loved these growing up (in Chicago). Always have loved the Caddies (in general), but really my GM fave over the years, has been Oldsmobile.

I fell in love with the '71 98 that a golfing buddy of my dad had, when I was about 13. My parents finally got a '76 98 Regency. It was yellow with a tan vinyl top and that wonderful pillow-top velour interior in light brown. Best car they ever had. A funny coincidence was that we had a '76 model, my aunt and uncle had a '75 2-door Regency, and my other aunt and uncle had a '74 98 Regency. We were definitely an Olds-loving family!

My grandparents had a one. Dark brown with tan vinyl roof. It had pretty much ever option there was. Power everything. It went to all of the lower 48 states. Had almost 500,000 miles on it by 1979 when grandmother passed away. So dependable. Normal stuff to replace. Water pump, fuel pump and brakes of course. Threw the timing chain on one of their trips. The thing got about 15 mpg on the highway. Remember grandad calling saying he had a flat and wanted me to help change it. Had to climb in the truck just to get to get to the spare and jack. He traded it off shortly after grandmother passed as to many memories in it. Bought an Impala. Really miss that 98! Thanks for the memories with this video Adam!!!
@richcoleman469
After 44 years thinking my Olds was a 72 and comparing your video with fotos i learn that it was a 73!!! Thanks
@randyjoe595
My great grand dad had one. I used to love riding in that car. I guess that’s why I’m here. Memories. He gave it to my grand dad and he ended up selling back in the late 90’s. I had a fit. I would have bought that car and would still have it today.

I learned to drive on my parent's 72 Delta 88, it was 3 years old and drove like new. Only now do I appreciate those cars. Olds had a great lineup in 72.
@gene978
I had this in Gold with a White TOP LS Hardtop. My First car was the ‘72 Delta Royal Hardtop in Deep Blue with a Medium Blue Top and that Biscuit interior. I was 15 when I bought it in 1975 from my school teacher who kept it in pristine condition. Loved my Big Cars. My Second Car in 1976 was a ‘73 Fleetwood a Naples Florida Car my Dads Uncle owned and kept Immaculate with very low miles. Loved that it had that EXTRA LARGE CHROME Hood Cap with the Flying Goddess as the hood ornament. Brown with a Cream Top and Brown supremely soft leather. I watched the gas gauge move every time I drove it. I Polished all my cars Daily and covered the carpets in the winter time like a nut. LOL. Thank You ADAM for the Trip down memory Lane.
@DavidRenneke
My parents owned a new one of these. It was the best car they ever owned, & our families favorite car!!
@gradystarkey4498
My parents had the 75th anniversary edition of this car. Black and gold.
@teresasachs3979
My brother has one except it was 2dr. Beige color had all the bells and whistles, just like a Cadillac excellent car!!!
@AlexanderCrump
Even as a little kid, I recognized that these GM C-bodies from this era were extremely heavy. They were just massive. I can still hear that Rocket 455 exhaust. The Rockets sounded different from the other GM big blocks.
@ks4545
My Dad had a '72 Buick Electra 225. I got it when he got a new car and drove it all through high school. Then we gave it to a friend who drove it all through college and beyond. Ran for over 200K mi. Loved that car.
@charleseuston2859
That could have been my father's car, color and all. He bought it while I was in college. I loved that car. It was my favorite of the many cars he owned.
@davidbroughall3782
It is indeed quite a substantial car.
