Oldsmobile Delta 88. The car that puts first things first.
The right way to design a family car is to begin with the family.
The 88 trunk is designed to pack in what your family can pack in. Generous headroom and legroom in back mean a comfortable, enjoyable ride. For everyone.
The 88 makes economical as well as mechanical sense with excellent mileage for a family-size car. It goes without saying that cars are built for people. But Oldsmobile decided you get a much happier set of results when, instead of building for people, you build around them.
That’s the idea of the Olds Delta 88: your family first. Your family prefers sitting stretched out to sitting scrunched up. So try out our head and legroom up front and in back. Olds 88 has always meant “roomy car,” and our 88s for ’78 keep the faith.
Your family needs a trunk that really packs it in. The new Olds Delta 88 gives you 20 cubic feet of trunk space.
When you and your family hit the road, you don’t want to feel it. Computers helped us to select the proper combination of springs and shock-absorption rates, to help cradle all of you on the roads you drive.
And you don’t want our car free-wheeling with your money. Delta 88 puts fuel to work and keeps it there. 25 mpg in highway tests, 17 in the city, 20 combined, according to EPA estimates with standard 231 V6 engine and automatic transmission. Your mileage depends on how you drive, your car’s condition, and its equipment. (EPA estimates in California are lower.) The Delta 88 is equipped with GM-built engines produced by various divisions. See your dealer for details.

The 1977 Oldsmobile 98 Regency. The marriage of logic and luxury.
Some decisions in life, fortunately, are never made for purely logical reasons. And that’s true of the thinking man’s luxury car, the Oldsmobile 98 Regency.
When you buy a Regency, it’s easy to see what the attraction was in the first place. It simply surrounds you with the kind of elegance you could never justify to, say, your accountant.
But then, he may never have relaxed in “loose-pillow” look crushed velour seats. Or experienced the smooth ride, the feeling of control, designed into the Regency’s computer-engineered suspension system. The quiet that allows for easy conversation. Even at highway speeds.
Yet for the man who takes a practical view of luxury, there is a certain logic to this luxury car. The logic of improved gas mileage over last year’s model. The Regency, with standard automatic transmission and 350 V-8, will get you to the church on time. Economically. (EPA estimates: 21 miles per gallon on the highway and 16 in the city. Your mileage depends on how you drive, your car’s condition, and its equipment. EPA ratings are lower in California.)
Then there’s the logic of improved maneuverability in city traffic. Of efficiently organized space for your luggage. Improved head and rear legroom. Most logical of all, the logic of value per dollar in your luxury car. And that is our secret of a successful marriage.
