1983 Delta 88 grille; odd because I would think a 98 would be more typical for this application.

Weren't these made from the Custom Cruisers?

Eureka looks like they used Delta 88 sedans as the base, but not positive this is one of them:

They also sold a Ninety-Eight based one:

Eureka did a lot more than they advertised. ;)

The Custom Cruiser is by far the likeliest base of this conversion, which was offered by a four different coachbuilders from Texas in a variety of styles on Buick and Oldsmobile chassis. Not all at once, though - all those firms used the same tooling, one right after the other went bankrupt using it, too. B&B came up with tooling for stretched hearses built from Olds and Buick wagons in 1979. Subsequently, Bratton Coachworks (one of the aforementioned B's), C&C Professional Vehicles and Century Coachworks followed up.

B&B Custom Coachworks, Inc. of Waxahachie, Texas, lasted until 1984 and is probably the best-remembered one of these companies. A 1983 Oldsmobile is pretty safe to carry the B&B name.
