STORY

The Ninety Eight was Oldsmobile's flagship full-size luxury car from 1941 to 1996. For a long time it was a rear-wheel-drive C-body sedan with Rocket V8 power, including the 425 cu in V8 of 1965-1967 and the 455 cu in V8 of 1968-1970. The car was downsized in 1977 and moved to the front-wheel-drive C-body in 1985. The final 1991-1996 cars, including the Regency Elite, had the 3.8-litre 3800 V6 and were among the top models of the Oldsmobile range.
