rtsbusman1997 ◊ 2012-08-23 21:33	I agree with that assessment.
HWJOE ◊ 2012-08-23 21:33	Heres an Olds Ninety Eight with the reverse lights stretched across the rear deck and solid tailights. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5067/5629473398_b2779087cd.jpg -- Last edit: 2012-08-23 21:34:23
Commander 57 ◊ 2012-08-24 00:03	With those beveled bumpers, I'm wondering if this could be an Olds 98 from the 1977 to 1979 period? (HWJOE's link is to a 1978 Olds 98, who's back-up lamps most closely match the subject car's. The '77 and '79 models were somewhat different.) -- Last edit: 2012-08-24 00:11:27
somename ◊ 2012-08-24 00:52	Yes, now I think this is a 78 98; I keep forgetting how narrow these look from certain angles.
dentedfenders ◊ 2012-08-24 19:54	Good call, guys. I didn't think to look farther back at the older model years.
