It's not your father's Oldsmobile

 

There s model I have never sen before!

 

what was the Pontiac/chevy version of this?

 

The Celebrity was called a Eurosport which is what I think Chevy called the models with blackout chrome/grills and the extra cladding. If memory serves me right. I think Ford had a Granada like this I believe they called the ESS.

Wasn't the Beretta related to the above?

I said it before - there are probably three people in the whole world who would want one of these, and two of them live in Lansing, Mich.

 

James Garner drove the Calais Pace Car at Indy. A come down from the Firebirds in Rockford.

 

Correct as to the GM stable mates to this obscure Olds.

I like the interior

 

I think he drove it in '77 when it was a Delta 88 coupe if I'm not mistaken.

 

I kinda think it was well bought for under $10K, odd cruiser for sure.
