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.

Mr_Spud · July 21, 2022 7:34PM

1970 Caprice

Red convertible.

From the wheel wells I guessed late 60s or early 70s.

ifthevamzarockin · July 21, 2022 7:43PM

Looks a lot like a 1971 or 72 Olds Delta 88 Convertible

LanceNewmanOCC · July 21, 2022 7:46PM

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)

ChopmarkedTrades · July 21, 2022 7:47PM

I think it's a 1971-1972 Oldsmobile 88.

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.

72 Olds Delta 88! Likely with a 455 Rocket! So much fun to drive!

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.

amwldcoin · July 22, 2022 5:01AM

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.
