Classic/Antique Car Repair: Delta 88, inch wheelbase, delta 88
QuestionCan you tell me when Oldsmobile came out with the Delta88 ?Thank You...
AnswerHi Gary:
Although there was many oldsmobiles under the name 88, the DELTA 88 first appeared in 1965 as an upscale trim line of the Dynamic 88, the Dynamic 88 Delta, replacing the previous top-series B-body Olds, the Super 88. Early '65s were referred to as Dynamic 88 Deltas, but within a few weeks after the start of the model year, Olds began marketing the line as a separate series known as the Delta 88. Other full-sized Oldsmobile model lines included the low-priced Jetstar 88, the volume-selling Dynamic 88, sporty Jetstar I and the sporty and luxurious Starfire, all riding on a 123-inch wheelbase.
