1972 Oldsmobile 98

Earlier this month I was researching the 1972 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale because a neighbor has one for sale. As I looked at online photos, I also noticed the Oldsmobile 98 model for that year and it brought back a flood of memories. Surely I remember that car, especially its distinct rear deck. I love the vertical tail light design and fins above. Sure, this car probably didn't compare to a Cadillac of its day, but no doubt this was a very luxurious car. Love it!

Below is my photo and video tribute to the 1972 Oldsmobile 98. I haven't seen one of these cars on the road in a long time, nor have I ever seen one at a car show. Let's hope that changes soon!
