    We had a 78 tbird. It was customized by the dealer valley motorrs in Hunt valley MD. The gawdawful rear window was filled with a white vinyl top. It had T tops and real wire wheels. It was a beautiful car. It didn't last very long. The transmission went at 88k and we got rid of it. A lady came to our door one day and gave me her number one day begging us to call if we ever were to sell. We sold it to her for 500$. She totally redid it even better than it was. Im sure she still has it if she is still alive. It was dark blue with a white top. Wish we kept it and did what she did.

      My cousin's wife had a square bird. It may not have looked as good but it drove better, was a lot faster. We had the 6 she had the V8 and hers was really really nice inside. Ours was just plain old vinyl and the dash had NO gauges just speedo and fuel.

    Never liked the 87 gt tail lights. My next door neighbor was a sales mgr at plaza Ford in MD. That lucky guy got several saleen's to drive as one of his perks. What a car! It was very hard for me to believe that was the same engine and transmission as the regular gt. Drove like it had Velcro tires

    I was gifted an 87 trofeo in blue with blue leather. I temporarily put my current license plate on it and brought it to my house and parked it in MY spot that I paid for. I took a shower and the car had been towed away by an overzealous tow truck driver who is presently or soon to be residing in hell. I had such hopes for that car. It was sooo cool. It had the talking dash, needed work but was cosmetically vg. They wanted 380 to get it out. I had no money to get it. Very very 😭

      @OLDS98 28 днів тому

      I would like to see a lot of legendary names return, but they all cannot return at once or if at all. To address what you said. They did get rid of all the legendary brands and nameplates history, and heritage. GM has a strong history and heritage and needs to take advantage of that. The loss happened over time as you said. There is still equity in those nameplates too. You are correct not everyone wants and suv or crossover. I do not. I have no use for them. I own two Oldsmobiles: 1992 Toronado and a 1996 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight. There is not much variety as you stated. We live an suv and cuv world. The few sedans we do have in the United States are imported. They have more vehicle variety in China, Europe, The Middle East than they do in the United States I will list the nameplates them for you by brand: Chevrolet: I would not add anything as it is the mass market brand with most of GM's suvs and trucks and suvs. The focus is on style and affordability. Any cars they get could be sold by Oldsmobile brand at the Chevrolet dealership. Chevrolet is not the end all and be all. Pontiac: Bonneville/Parisienne/Grand Ville( one car with trim level names I just listed( like it was in the 1960's and 1970's), Grand Prix/STE( coupe/sedan or sedan only performance midsized( Cadillac CT5 platform), Firebird/Trans Am( sports car), GTO/Grand Am( compact sedan/coupe( Cadillac CT4 platform). Four Pontiac models with variations in those models using the same platform as Cadillac CT5 and CT6( economies of scale). They would be sold at GMC/Buick dealers. Oldsmobile: Ninety Eight( Lincoln Town Car and Fleetwood/Deville large traditional luxury American segment large car)( use Cadillac CT6 platform), Eighty Eight/Regency/LSS( could share a large model with Holden)premium/near luxury midsized segment( below Ninety Eight but above Cutlass). Toronado( coupe or four door coupe in the near luxury/luxury segment( be what Aurora could not be/emphasis of style and luxury and technology that is a value), Cutlass/442( coupe/sedan aimed at the midsized market. Holden could sell this one as well. Custom Cruiser(wagon/cuv), Buick : Regal( premium midsized front wheel drive(Lexus ES), Riviera(like Toronado with more a Lincoln/Cadillac slant), Park Avenue/Le Sabre( one sedan with trim level names)( not Lucerne again) and Cadillac to go in the direction it is now but moving up scale. The luxury you aim for and have to work for. This is where those upscale Buicks come into play along with the suv's they have now. Holden( use Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick models) to make up a brand and build them in the United States/Mexico/Canada and export them. Those models will be aimed at the export market and Australia. GM could use the Holdens to expand globally and they would use the Oldsmobile, Pontiac and Buick models to do that under the Holden name. I am sure Cadillac will want to bring back Eldorado. That would have to be an expensive loaded luxury high end coupe/four door coupe( Seville). You have to do this economically and there has to be a reason for each brand and nameplate to exist. Pontiac and Oldsmobile and Holden is where GM can express itself.

      @@OLDS98 Too bad so much has become consolidated and a lot has been discontinued. I grew up in the '70s and '80s and remember when there were the 4 "G" body cars ('78 to '87), Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Regal, Cutlass and some others as well. Not to mention an El Camino and wagons on this same platform. I wanted all 4 way before being old enough to drive (My family did have an Olds Cutlass Supreme later). These days I drive a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria. I have always liked GM and Ford and Chrysler. Yes, It would be great to have a vast variety to choose from.

That is why they really have a deep following with the GM G Bodies to this day. They still love the C and B bodies. The B Bodies died in 1996 replaced by suv's. I drive two Oldsmobiles: 1992 Toronado and a 1996 Ninety Eight. That is why I broke it down the way I did when I wrote it. It could be done if done correctly.
