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: ![]() ![]() -- Last edit: 2020-06-09 01:20:54 |

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. ![]() |
