1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Review - A VERY Clean and Original CRUISER!!!

In this video I review a 1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 that, surprisingly, still has less than 100,000 miles on it. I personally really enjoyed driving this car and thought that what it lacks for in performance, it makes up for in comfort.

Hey guys! Let me know what you all think about this 1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88. All in all, i think its a very comfortable cruiser!!

[@buckgonsalvez384]

B body GM cars were the Chevy Caprice/Impala , Buick Lesabre , Oldsmobile delta , and Pontiac Bonniville /Parisienne . All these cars are true 6 seater passenger cars with a RWD- full-frame chassis .

[@mikehall737]

3,700lbs is light for a car that big and long a honda accord weigh that much

[@darkko1969]

My dad had one of these when I was in high school. I drove it on trips. It was a really good car to travel in. Drove and rode great.

[@AntsCarReviews]

Yea, super comfortable. The one I drove in this review is in great condition too!!

[@anthonycaruso8006]

Nice!!

[@ag4eng]

Same here, my Dad bought an 88 in 1984 and I learned to drive in it. Took it to college, had it until 1993. It had all the comfort and cost less than $11,000 new.

[@connybenyamin8671]

i know when oldsmobile was cancled it was in April 29, 2004 The end of the road for Oldsmobile. On April 29, 2004, the last Oldsmobile comes off the assembly line at the Lansing Car Assembly plant in Michigan, signaling the end of the 106-year-old automotive brand, America's oldest.

[@NPC-Gamer]

Me also having been born in '84 realizing that I'm basically 40.. Fun fact, my first car was an '84 Delta 88 2 door. Same color as yours.

[@buckgonsalvez384]

Great review Buddy ! I own a 1981 Oldsmobile Delta 88 4 door like the one you are reviewing , umm they are pretty cool to drive umm lol a wee bit slow but this car takes me back to my teen years in the 80s where these boats ruled the road noo crossover . Oldsmobile went out of production way back in 2003 . Stay Safe !

[@AntsCarReviews]

Yea, they are awesome cars!! Never realized that until i drove this one, consider subscribing for more unique vehicle reviews. :)

[@buckgonsalvez384]

@@AntsCarReviews Thx for your reply Bro , umm I certainly remember some really cool cars growing up in the 70s and 80s . I always liked the extra big cars from the mid 70s or a full-size station wagon and planning on getting one down the road . I hope down the road you drive GM mid-size G bodies and Fords full and mid-sized cars of the 70s , 80s and 90s . Stay Safe ..

[@garbage854]

Cool, My GrandParent's had a car l like this. 😀 My Granddad drove it till 2004. Good memories .

[@AntsCarReviews]

Nice, I'm happy this car brings back some memories for you, hope you enjoyed this video!

[@rajanrairealty8979]

60s pr 70s 400hp plus. This a cruiser

[@jayson657]

Yes but those numbers were a bit inflated pre 1971 they advertised gross horsepower ‘72 and after cars were advertised in net horsepower.

[@deanenwright6142]

Honestly these cars (80s-90s) gm cars are getting more attention as time goes on. I have an 84 delta 88 optioned out to the max with the 307 ..not the big block (or diesel) that they could have had. I learned how to drive on the oldsmoboat in the 2000s and now have it stored waiting till i resurrect it. Mine is light blue, dark blue canvas roof ..only 160 km on it. My great grandfather bought it new.......I’ve had full 6 ppl in the car and honestly a car like this so big your still good with the 6ft corona virus limitations haha

[@1575murray]

In the 1970s most of them had the big block 455 but rising fuel prices and government CAFE regulations forced GM to downsize the cars and use smaller engines although the development of more efficient overdrive transmissions helped somewhat.

[@micaelcaruso6489]

Sucker too the side I know you hate my 88 - yo get yours. Yea I Rap & free style lol ! Like Uncle Joe lol 😂 Another thorough review 👍🏻🇮🇹🇺🇸

[@matt8151]

I had a series of these plus a couple of Caprice Classics from the late ‘80s through early 2000s, all great cars, reliable, and much more comfortable than anything made today.

[@Stretch213]

On a whim I just thought. Google my cool car see if I can find something? And I found this.

[@AntsCarReviews]

Thanks for the support I appreciate it!

[@gorilla615]

my older bro had one in Olive green with a white top. That thing was a TANK! But DAMN did it ride smooth. Sadly it totaled, after a few "minor" accidents it wasn't running as efficient so it was time to put her away for good. Rest in Peace to "The Buffalo"

[@BillLaBrie]

That was actually quite peppy for the day. Anything close to 10 sec was “sporty.” Under 10 was “fast.”

[@rjc7289]

During most of my childhood in the 80's, an Oldsmobile Delta 88 was the family car. Not sure of the exact year, but it looked similar to the model in this video. It was seafoam green on the outside and had a similar color for the cloth interior. I fondly remember all the times my mom used that car to drop me off and pick me up from school and music lessons. Ours didn't have a tape deck though -- just a standard AM/FM radio. I also remember the backseat and trunk being very roomy.

[@AntsCarReviews]

Thanks for sharing that. I'm glad this video brought back those memories!

[@jimosullivan4866]

had one in the early nineties, great comfort ,

[@chev500l8]

You are correct f, disc r, drum .

[@Stretch213]

Slack in steering wheel since it was my second car.. I didn't notice till I had an Eldorado. Which was wow different

[@msdeeva007]

Is this still available?

[@bigrr64]

Cars with over 300 horsepower are typically high-performance vehicles, The average horsepower for a new car is between 100 and 200 horsepower, depending on the model and make. For example, crossovers average 200 horsepower, midsize cars average 170 horsepower, and small SUVs average 240 horsepower. Some examples of new cars with over 300 horsepower include: 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Core This car has a 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower. 2023 Dodge Charger GT RWD This family version of the Challenger Coupe has a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that produces 300 horsepower. 2023 Toyota Camry TRD This high-performance version of the Camry has a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 301 horsepower.

Great review man. It's hard to find reviews for these old cars that are still stock. Keep up the good work👌🏾. "Blistering 12 secs" 😄😄

[@ponchoman49]

A friend of mine had this car in coupe form with the 307 and 4 speed 200 R-4 transmission and optional 3.23 towing gears. We bumped up the base timing to 22 degrees and did some tweaks to the secondary's and it would rip the rear tire loose and could effortlessly keep up with high speed traffic. It also had the factory F41 suspension and larger 70 series tires so could handle pretty good. These are great cars with much personality

[@mrperret]

I had the coupe version as my first car. Mine was fast, and I've had it up to 110mph on the interstate. It was quiet and floated down the road. Great car!

[@donk499]

Those were really nice cars back in the day. Slow compared to today's cars, but still nice cars that handled amazingly well

[@DXFAN6909]

My dad had a 1981 Oldsmobile delta 88 royal brougham in blue I loved that cat got rid of it in 1998 was 12 never got a chance to drive it to this day I still think about it and wish I got to drive it and still looking for one exactly to that car color everything I wish they kept the steering wheel for the 81 intill they stop making that body style

[@rajanrairealty8979]

Paint rims stereo

[@Stretch213]

Its totally slow. I had the four barrel rocket 350. Which isn't in any of the newer than 80. Plus I had a coupe. Coolest car ever

[@christinewoodruff255]

14 grand when new,still have my 83, mice and critters kinda live in it now.

[@Stretch213]

I had an 80 olds coupe. No weird landau. Looked like big daddy cutlass. Withe the olds 350 4 barrel oil spout out the front. 3/4 bench

[@matthewd6760]

I’m contemplating buying one with 86k miles would you recommend it? It’s in good condition of motor clean tires

[@KY87Chevy]

This one's big but I have a 1976 Oldsmobile Delta 88 and it's even bigger

[@0utc4st1985]

The slack in the steering wheel isnt from age, its how they were designed. It makes high speed steering adjustments much easier than what you see with tight steering today.

[@kingnillvwell381]

Oldsmobile don’t made wind deflectors , they are added accessories . I’m a 98 / oldsmobile.

[@qwipperty]

I learned how to drive in one of those old beauties. They're designed for highway driving. They take a bit to get going from a stop, but once they're moving, they eat up the road. And you feel like you're sitting on a cloud the entire time. Cars like this are why so many families went on driving vacations, because you can sit and drive in them for a good ten hours and still feel good...not like today's cars.

[@Daniellopez-tx5xq]

This is a rare sight to see an Oldsmobile B body those cars are like driving your living room lazy boy couch so comfortable

Very good looking car but sad to be so downsized, I feel a bit cramped in my 1979 Olds Delta 88. Originally a diesel as they all were when sold in Finland. It had an Olds 350 gas engine when I bought it which I promptly changed to a massaged Olds 455. A fantastic road car with all new underpinnings, close in comfort of Mopar C-bodys of the 1970:s. Nothing new even comes close.

[@TheMKEWERBY]

Ant, I almost bought a coupe version of this for my first car, but my dad didn’t like that the rear bumper was crooked. This makes me wish I could’ve bought it now!

[@AlexanderCrump]

Oldsmobiles were a step up from Chevy. Most Delta 88s were pretty nice family cars and they carried you around in comfort. GM sold a ton of Cutlasses and Delta 88s in the '70s and into '80s.

Most comfortable handling and riding car to take on a long trip. You can steer with one finger. Also the most uncomfortable car ever to be a backseat passenger in due to the miserable "ratcheting" seatbelts and odor. As a kid I had to put a pillow under the seatbelt or it would dig into into my hips.
