If you bought a Ninety-Eight in the late sixties you were buying a luxury car that rivaled the Buick Electra, Chrysler New Yorker or Cadillac's Calais and deVille.
This 1968 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight 4-door hardtop (Holiday Sedan) was one of 5 models in the Ninety-Eight Series.
Clearly a car that's been garage kept and garaged kept all of its life, this Oldsmobile has just 74,000 original miles on the clock.
Rear 3/4 view
With a wheelbase of 126 inches, this luxury car sat at just over eighteen and a half feet long.
Although this car was produced firmly in the sixties you can see where things were headed in the seventies.
Luxurious interior
Under the hood there is a 455 cubic inch "Rocket" V8 engine that outputs 365 horsepower. This is connected to a Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 automatic transmission. Both were standard on the 98.
Power brakes and power steering were also standard as are the power windows and front seat. The AM/FM stereo in this car was an option costing $238. In addition the original owner of this Ninety-Eight also opted for a stereo tape player (8-track) at $133.76. They also spent a further $121 on the vinyl roof.
