The Ninety-Eight. The rear fenders are much more smoothly integrated into the body.

The 88 shared its body with Pontiac & Chevy. The 98 shared with
Buick & Cadillac. Plus a lot of what was underneath. So put me down for the 98 a(nd its comfort. I've had a tiring day.
(PS- Olds was the first to use a one-piece windshield on this body. Chevy stayed with the two-piece until their next new body in 1953, but some Chevy owners switched windshields. Ny '51 Chevy kept the two-piece.
