The Oldsmobile 98 is the full-size flagship model of Oldsmobile
that was produced from 1940 until 1996. The name - reflecting a
Series 90 fitted with an 8-cylinder engine - first appeared in 1941
and was used again after American consumer automobile production
resumed post-World War II. It was, as it would remain, the
division's top-of-the-line model, with lesser Oldsmobiles having
lower numbers such as the A-body 66 and 68, and the B-body 76 and
78. Occasionally additional nomenclature was used with the name,
such as L/S and Holiday, and the 98 Regency badge would become
increasingly common in the later years of the model. As it was the
top-line Oldsmobile, the series had the most technologically
advanced items available, such as the Hydramatic automatic
transmission, the Autronic Eye, an automatic headlight dimmer, and
Twilight Sentinel (a feature that automatically turned the
headlights on and off via a timer, as controlled by the driver),
and the highest-grade interior and exterior trim. This particular
example has only 52,268 original miles. The car is in superb
condition front to rear, the interior is super clean and the ride
is smooth. The car has had only 2 owners and has an accident free
CarFax History report. For more information or to make an offer,
