1971 Oldsmobile 98 - Gateway Classic Cars Detroit -

[@ferrochinabisleri1587]

May we call these examples of the truly American style in its fullest completeness? Great rides.

[@dave1956]

I worked at a Buick/Oldsmobile dealership in the mid 70’s. This was my favorite year for the 88/98.

[@GatewayClassicCars]

Thanks for sharing Dave!

[@davidallen5776]

I would always gravitate toward something like this even when things would start to get weird!

[@kellyshannon18]

Truly outstanding camera work - shows off the features and design so well. This is how sales videos should be done. 👏🏽

[@GatewayClassicCars]

Wow, thank you!

[@sven8611]

Beautiful automobile!!! That's one of the vehicles referred to as a land yacht. I'll bet it drive's and rides exceptionally well

[@johnsorensen2088]

Mom and Dad's car. It was so floaty it made my sister-in-law carsick.

[@GatewayClassicCars]

I remember that feeling as well! It's like floating on air with a bit more sway in the back seat. Thanks for sharing!

I've liked these '71 98's since the day I saw them in the showroom when new, I like the way the fender skirts bulge out at rear wheels and with those "mini" fins I thought it could've passed for a Cadillac.

[@anthonygreene834]

@TomSnyder-gx5ru To me Olds and Caddilac were pretty close. Although they sandwiched the buick in between them. Lol!!

[@toddbonin6926]

This is a masterpiece!!!

[@michaelwesener2361]

I grew up riding in the back seat of a 72 ❤

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

I had a 1969 Ninety-Eight in the late 80s in mint condition and I absolutely loved it…although it would not pass a gas station.

[@GatewayClassicCars]

Thank you for sharing Veronica! Before we know it, they won't be able to pass a charging station.....

That long hood with the ridge going down the middle is so 1970's! I have a 1970 Buick GS convertible with a similar hood and hood scoops. I just bought a 24 Acura MDX and noticed it has the same hood style, an added plus and brings back great memories.

[@anthonygreene834]

My Dad had one of these when I was a kid. Loved it. Always hoped he'd have it long enough for me to inherit it. Was not to be. It was the Regency model,fully loaded. Silver w/Black top.❤

[@GatewayClassicCars]

Anthony, thank you for sharing! I was fortunate enough to get my vehicular inheritance prior to my dad's passing, but I'd give the car back in a second if it meant more time with him.

[@anthonygreene834]

@GatewayClassicCars No doubt. My Dad was so proud of it. He was an Olds man through and through. His first Olds was a 66 Holiday 88(I believe), a 67' Delmont 88 and a 69' Delta 88.🤎

[@GatewayClassicCars]

That's so great! When you find something you love, you stick with it!

[@japanjack62]

I think it was Tom Cahill who wrote for Mechanics Illustrated who called the 71 98 "the smart man's Cadillac.." we test drove an identical one but my folks went with a fully loaded light blue 71 98 LS. It was nicer than our neighbors 71 Sedan Deville.

[@jeffreydavis9783]

I own a 71 LS sedan myself with just over 21,000 original miles. It rides & drives like a dream (my son & I took it cross-country last summer) but $22k is ridiculous.

[@GatewayClassicCars]

Thank you for sharing Jeffery!

[@jamesscherrer1642]

Is it a partial or full repaint??

[@GatewayClassicCars]

[@KennethAlexander-mj2zt]

Hello how are you doing? Love this 1971 Olds what are you saleing it for?

[@GatewayClassicCars]

Good day Kenneth! This Olds is currently on our auction that runs through Monday at 12pm Central. This link has a ton of photos and additional details as well as a link to the auction listing - www.gatewayclassiccars.com/vehicle/det/2372

[@LearnAboutFlow]

Why would you repaint this beautiful car in diarrhea brown? Bad choice on the family's part.

[@ferrochinabisleri1587]

Well I do think this is the original color, if not paint job. Also I think it's a typical '70 nice color.
