Retired in Dunedin, Florida.
Oldsmobile! Great colors!
Olds but I would like it more if it were a 98.
The merry Olds Super Duper 88 because I have one just like it! OK, so it's the DM 1:24 version.

Bruce, many of our group would agree that for styling both peaked in 1956.
Subjectively, I would agree because of the era that I find it much easier to relate to.
Whether latter designs are more appealing - or less so, is also subjective. To those who make a study of historical automotive design, their thoughts will come from a completely different place. Intilectual, rather than emotional or a combination of the two.
I always preferred the 88 series and Buick Century over Roadmaster.
I like the sportier look vs. luxury. Both series are lovely cars though IMO.
Yes, I have that one too. My Olds is the one that appears in the "Car list and Reviews".
