My dad brought home a goldish-tanish one. It had a 4-barrel 389 V-8 rated at 325 HP. Whether it was close to 325 real HP, is debatable. It would spin the tires, though, and went pretty good. The back seat? Like a sleeper bed.
Seat belts were unheard of.
True story…as a small child my dad had an Oldsmobile ‘98. I’m guessing it was late 50s/early 69s.
It was SOOO yuuuge I clearly recall stretching out on long drives in the recess area under the rear window (rear deack???) and sleeping. In warm weather, at night with the summer air caressing me. Hearing my young parents in the front beach seat softly laughing and playing music as they cruised. It was a feeling literally impossible for me to recreate today.
I could win the 3/4 billion dollar lottery now and spend 50 million of it and I could not recreate that feeling. 😭
