| You want class? In 1984, Oldsmobile had class in dump-truck quantities. Just listen to how the name Oldsmobile Delta Eighty-Eight Royale Brougham rolls off one's tongue. This car, one of the final examples of rear-drive/full-frame Oldsmobiles ever built (1985 was the last year for the rear-drive Delta 88), may not be quite as Broughamic as the '72 Mercury Marquis Brougham we saw last week, but you can still see the last hurrah of mid-60s-style luxury for the masses in this car. All Olds Delta 88s were Royales for the 1984 model year, but you had to pay extra to get the Brougham package. The 140-horsepower Olds 307 V8 wasn't much engine for a 3,635-pound car, but it was smooth and quiet. Such luxury!
