Well, I have to totally agree with #5. When hubby bought the '78 98, people he worked with laughed at it and asked "where's the rest of it?" You know, because before 77, they were really huge! Now mine looks huge. This one idiot who was his former boss followed us in a parking lot, and when we got out, he called the Olds an aircraft carrier! Jealous I guess as he was driving his "wife's" Volvo.
I always liked the fact that the bigger Olds cars really blind you on a sunny day with all that chrome (unfortunately on mine, a lot of trim is aluminum). They just ride nice and are fast, even my big old girl. I have heard the 98's were the same chassis as the big caddys, if that's true, then you get a cushy ride for 1/2 the price! And I have always felt they were safer with those big steel beams in the doors. Yeah, that new emblem, I don't know what that was supposed to be! But it seems all the ricer brands came up with logos (where some never had one before), so I guess the locals had to revamp and try something new. When I think of GM, I think of GMC, as in trucks.
