This one caught my eye. 1-owner 1975 Olds Delta 88 Royale 4-door hardtop, manual windows & no a/c, 455 (that was bucking the trend in '75), last year for the round headlights. The Royale had nicer side moldings plus velour seats with fold-down armrest.

Big and tough. Yes, as usual it is an all-green survivor. Some would beat on this car or use it up. I think it deserves a considerate owner that will continue to keep that interior from fading & cracking, because it sure has held up well over the last 43+ years. I don't know, green velour? I would have dug it in '75.

Nice, my friend Rheal has a soft spot for 75/76 full sized Oldsmobiles, has had a bunch of them, great cruising cars, especially with the 455.
Currently has a low mile '75 88 Convertible.
Last of the biggies, thanks for bringing this one to our attention Cam.

Nice clean car, extra points for no vinyl top.  For me, green is a plus rather than a minus.  The only drawback with the velour is keeping it clean, especially if you are working in the shop and want to jump in the car... change your clothes first! biggrin

Definitely looks to have been well cared for.  I noticed the window rubbers don't even appear to be cracked, which is quite something as I recall that my '73 Lemans had self-destructing window rubbers when it was only 10 years old.

My only complaint is that to keep up with the times, the GM stylists cut those silly opera windows into the C pillars on 4-door hardtops starting in '75.  IMHO, it did not improve the styling of the car.

I was waiting for you to chime in ... this car has your name on it! See it?wink

I agree on the opera windows.

Just an observation but there seems to be a lot of 4 door hardtops on the market.
I like this one.
