That is a 1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88. |

I could have sworn that the grill/headlights looked like a 1980 Chevrolet Impala: /images/039/512.jpg Any thoughts? -- Last edit: 2007-07-22 04:32:46 |

Its an Olds, Sorry Ford |

Actually,I think it's neither one......but the first two guesses are both 1/3 right! It looks more like a "1980"..."Oldsmobile"....Cutlass Calais!! |

So who is right finally? qwerty86 or buc84 ? |

The 1980 Cutlass had hi/lo combo headlight rather than four-eyes. But on second glance, it doesn't look like a full-size. It's possible that it is a 1985 Cutlass Supreme sedan. |

1978-79 was a "2 Light"(Hi/Lo) car,1980 have quads.(Much like the 4dr ones after 1980)And it's not a Supreme,those have a different grille? It's either a Calais or a (rare,under 3000 made?)1980 442?? |

The grille doesn't go up above the top of the headlights like these 1980 Cutlass coupes: http://supercarshow.com/images/80OldsmobileCutlassClarenceKuiken.jpg Link to "www.us-fullsize.com" The Calais doesn't have the thicker bright piece below the headlights: http://www.trombinoscar.com/oldsmobile/om800202.jpg The coupe from '81 up would have a slope right below the headlights like this: Link to "content.answers.com" If it's a Cutlass, it's a '81+ four-door because of the thicker bright piece below the headlight: Link to "content.answers.com" http://www.fleetofcads.com/84olds/84olds03.jpg And I say it's an '85 because of the grille: http://www.fedrelandsvennen.no/amcar/brochures/olds/bilder/85cut_19.jpg -- Last edit: 2007-07-23 03:00:03 |

It well could be a later 4dr car (used same header panel as 1980 Calais/442) Still looks '80 Calais,but light not greatest,and a person is standing in the middle of it's grille,blocking a 2nd identifer(is it chromed or painted between the grilles) I also was high(very)on how many 442's were built in '80......only 882 made!! |

Looks like Oldsmobile G platform to me. Wide parking/turn signal lens on the bumper. |

Compare this with /vehicle.php?id=79631 |

It's a 1980 Olds Cutlass Supreme, note the bumpers are different, and this car is too narrow to be a full sized Chevy. |
