[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes</i> <br /><br />One of the BEST cars I ever owned I purchased used. It was a 1978 Delta 88 Royale. It had over 100,000 miles on it when I got it. I put another 100,000 on it. I never needed any major rework on the engine. I sold the car for one dollar to someone who badly needed a car but couldn't afford to buy anything. <br /> <br />It makes me sad that you can no longer buy a nice large Olds anymore. They were excellent cars. I loved mine to death. I am not a Pontiac fan and my family traditionally has a ton of trouble with Chevys. I also don't care much for Buicks. So GM's future as far as this driver is concerned doesn't look good. Give me a Lincoln over a Caddy anyday.
