Long story short I have an uncle who is at the end of a battle with Alzheimer and we’re tying to price together a greatest hits thing for him (well mostly the wife) and I for the life of me can’t recognize this piece of Detroit iron. If anybody can place the make and model here I would be eternally grateful. Winner will get a silver something something

Maybe Pontiac Bonneville mid 60’s.
1970 Caprice

Red convertible.
From the wheel wells I guessed late 60s or early 70s.
Looks a lot like a 1971 or 72 Olds Delta 88 Convertible
i'm not a go-to car guy so hopefully this helps someone else nail it (if we haven't already).
did bonnevills have a word in the back like this? (nevermind, that guess came after mine)
I think it's a 1971-1972 Oldsmobile 88.
any chance it is an impala?
Don't think so.
do you say 88 is 100%? it looks to be matching over any caprice and impala or anything else close.
I am about 90% sure but a photo of the front or back would lock it down.
GM for sure, Oldsmobile Delta 88 probably.
Thank you guys I am sold on the 88, I suspected you guys would nail it. My sincerest thanks

72 Olds Delta 88! Likely with a 455 Rocket! So much fun to drive!
.
is there a song? or 2?
Well it's not a red Barchetta
I think Southpark did a red rocket episode.
Dang it, opened the thread and thought the car was the giveaway...

Do sorry to hear about your uncle. My mother recently passed from Alzheimer's. A most terrible disease.

Not many cars bigger than a Delta 88. Only thing that comes to mind is a similar vintage 4 door Lincoln Town Car.
Were you fishing for this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_88 ? Pre-dates this pictured beauty by 20 years but it is the song about the model.
lol nice pull !
i was focused on the 455 rocket part.
Drive it out on a lake I think they float.
One of my best friends had one of these. Oldsmobile, Delta 88. His was a 73, but they were substantially similar in design from 71-74 I believe.

71 Olds delta 88 is correct answer, I believe.
