November 22, 200619 yr Enjoy a couple I scanned in tonight... There was also a two-page Seville Ad, but I didnt feel like scanning and editing the pages together at the moment.
November 22, 200619 yr Hah. I like the Olds ad the best because it reminds me of my car ('95 Olds 88 Royale).
November 22, 200619 yr I still like the canatlievered roof look of the H-bodies. Nerdy as it may seem, I grew up wanting these cars.
November 22, 200619 yr When I was a dumb 13 year old kid in 1992 those ads seemed super cool and cutting edge. Now I despise FWD and many of the "advancemenets" these cars pioneered. The Viper's still coll though, but that's not the production one, it's the prototype witht he headlights mounted in the hood & the headers sticking out of the door scoop.

November 22, 200619 yr Damn that Eighty Eight is one hot bitch.......... Cant say the same for the LeSabre The Pontiac ...well... it wanted to be as cool as an Oldsmobile The Viper was a car that needed to happen. I was so happy when I saw that. I said to my friend "well it looks like styling is finally headed back in the right direction" Now look at the C5, C6, Modena, Elise and other curvacious creatures that have evolved from the overly drawn out wedges that preseded them.
November 23, 200619 yr I cant directly answer that but I have this....... The 76's were the last of the GM land yachts and I believe as big as they got, but I think Caddy had one model that soldiered on. 1976 Oldsmobile 98 Regency 127" wheelbase 232.2" overall lenght 5 1/4 feet of shoulder room 39" rear legroom 22 cu ft trunk it had "unsightly" "ill proportioned" overhangs and was DROP DEAD GORGEOUS ! I wanna cry sitting here going through this model sales booklet.... Tuck and Roll, buttoned, pillow cushioned thick black leather seats Crushed velour more color options than a crayon box just the right amount of stainless and chrome inside and out None the less I know for a fact that my 97 Olds LSS is a full size modern car and by no means what so ever did it disgrace the name of its 71-76 B body predecessors........which I have drivin and owned 2 of.........still own one of. In fact mile for mile it is a better car and has perfectly graced its name in modern times.
