I think I want an Olds 88 50th Anniversary Edition, bask in its majesty!

What a handsome car.

If you’re gonna do this, do it right.

I always though the Oldsmobile LSS was super classy. Most were naturally aspirated but some of them were supercharged.

Supercharged 3800 is peak 90's GM.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Bman76 (hates WS6 hoods, is on his phone and has 4 burners now) 03/04/2017 at 00:05

Today I saw a Park Ave and thought “man that design has aged well”

Confession time: I’ve always loved the final generation, final facelift version of the 88, the LSS in particular. Especially in lighter colors, the effect of the blacked out A- and B- pillars with a body color C-pillar creates a great wraparound glass effect. The thin strip of wood that wraps around the interior also seems to flow right into the red reflector strip on the tail. It’s a very cool, cohesive design for a car with crappy FWD proportions. God that front overhang is awful, but I still like the final product.

Counterpoint: pre-facelift was better

Nah, it’s just the 2003 facelift. New wheels, uglier grill, ventiports.

The black pillars with tinted windows would be hot sauce.

My dad almost bought one of these new. He ended up spending the same amount of money on a used Aurora. That was a HUUUUUUGE mistake. The Aurora was a pile of crap.

The same can be said for other H-bodies of that era. I had a ’92 LeSabre that shared similar design qualities.

But it was a stunning pile of crap. (The first gen, anyway)

It was a first gen, an emerald green ‘95 with the Autobahn package. It was quicker and handled better than any giant front wheel drive sedan had a right to be ... but such a piece of shit. Also, the front passenger seat was super cramped.
