    For something that clean, stock and original...not a bad price really.

    Wow, where has this car been for 27 yrs?? So this one is a "88", was there a "98" trim level in 1985?

    I think the mileage being true is pretty believable. It sure doesn't look like it's rolled the odometer yet. If it has, someone's taken damn good care of it.

    There was no 98 trim level wagon. There was, however, am 88 Royale Brougham trim level in these Cruisers. For 85, the 98 had shrunk to the front wheel drive platform. If you wanted 98-grade trim in a rear wheel drive, you got the Royale Brougham LS (Luxury Sedan), which used the 1984 98 seats. This was not available on either the coupes or wagons.

    Looking at the pictures, this one, 27 years on, is in better condition than my 84 was when I bought it. NEW!

    Passenger front fender woodgrain pattern looks way off to the rest of that side... Would it have left the factory like that?

    I noticed that also. That's the only thing that appears visibly "off" about this Olds based on the photos.

    Maybe it's my lazy eye, but what's with the off-center Olds emblem on the tailgate?
