    The color is right and it's full of gadgets to go wrong, including a half-automatic pilot, to keep one safe from speed traps on boring freeways. It's even clutterless and vacuumed, this time. Unless, John Podesta and Jimmy Hoffa are sleeping in that trunk, attention would have to be payed to those sagging springs, though

    It's got a few rough spots, which he does show. Seems ok for the money, but I agree that it does appear to sag slightly in the rear.


    What's this, by the way? Some sort of dealer add-on trim treatment? The car does seem to have some western/cowboy flourishes here and there. I'm not sure I'd want this badge on my car.

    I would, if the car jackers that happen to sneak up from behind are capable of reading

    Shooting try-to-be carjackers with birdshot is meaner. Especially, from a converted-over snubnosed revolver

    The "Regency" was the top line 98 of that era. Olds had it going on for large cars from that era. They rode great.
