OVERVIEWThe Oldsmobile 88 was offered in some form from 1949
through the 1999 model year. Over its 50-year run, the 88 had a
whole library full of interesting model names, but the car was
always an 88. In the 1950s and 1960s, the 88 was Olds' top
seller.The 1967 model year was bigger for changes, as the 88 line
got a facelift to keep pace with the times. Gone were the straight
lines of the middle 1960s, replaced by more sweeping styles in the
GM "coke bottle" design language of the era. Trim level names
changed, with the creative "Delmont" as the entry-level 88. The
Delta 88 remained the top trim level, but it was divided into the
standard Delta 88 and the upscale Delta 88 Custom. The Custom line
was available only in two- or four-door hardtop styles. The 1967
Delmont 88s also carried an engine designation of 330 or 425 -
referring to the size of the engine in the car. Convertibles were
offered only with the 425-cid engine. The 330-cid V-8 offered 250
hp, while the 425 delivered 300 hp.Only minor changes were
instituted for 1968, with the 330 engine growing to 350 cid and no
power gain. The 425 engine grew to 455 cid and 310 hp, gaining 10
over the prior year.
