Older cars rusted out in a few years, barely made it to 100,000 miles, burned gas like crazy, needed a tune up every 10,000 miles with parts that don’t exist on cars now, the drum brakes were garbage, and they were incredibly unsafe in accidents due to their construction and lack of safety features.

That was when the middle class was strong. Those of us left in this class find that manufacturers no longer cater to us. They mostly cater to the rich or the numerous poor.
That starting sound was pure nostalgia … one of my all time favourite automotive sounds is when the starter is turning it over and then it finally starts and makes that wheeeeeerrrr noise of the starter spinning free on these old gm’s

The standard General Motors door chime was literally the automotive equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.
Damn I love this car. My grandpa had one, and it was fantastic!!! He's why I love these fantastic automobiles. He fixed these cars up and had about 30 different ones at a time in the yard that I used to go play in as a kid. I sure miss him!
This is the car I learned how to drive in back in the 90's. Mom had an 85' Olds Delta 88 4-door, LS Brougham. Closest you could get to the Caddy. Very familiar sound to it. Would love to own one someday.
I would love to drive all over the US and never stop again while listening to old music. Just enjoy the beauty of nature and listen to your tires rolling over the asphalt, the birds chirping and the engine running. Such a beautiful tought❤
Bringing back memories. In 1992 I bought a 1980 delta88 like this. 307 with a 3 speed automatic . I had that car 5 years, great car, comfy interior. About a year after trading the 80 model, I bought an 84 d88. Same 307 but has an automatic with overdrive. It was much quicker than the 80 model , I guess different gearing. I had that until 2003 and sold it. Dammit, I want another one now. I traveled alot in those cars, and traveled comfortably . 😎
nice car. in 85 i bought an 84 buick regal, limited edition. velour seats, it had real spoke rims too. beautiful looking car, all the bells and whistles. a luxury version of the grand national. so sporty looking too. wonderful to drive. wish i knew more about the terrible 238 v6 engine they put in it though. turned a nice car into a nightmare.
That was a nice throwback. I recognize the Oldsmobile chime, even remember hearing the exact same chime in the Toronado/Trofeo. The GM chime has evolved over the years, but I still recognize the cadence of the alert in newer products until the chimes were updated in the last two/three years. Thank you for sharing.
Man, these old 80s GM interiors bring back a lot of memories. We had a gray 86 Regal that had the same interior. Those hvac controls awoke some nostalgia
It's low enough that it would never prevent the pedal from coming back based on how they're hinged on older cars. Only the top moves inward while the bottom remains in place.
This was an 80s Oldsmobile chime for RWD 88, 98, and the FWD versions, plus the Toronado. It's a chord chime meaning its two notes a hi/lo playing same time. Sounds great.
That buzzer sound was also used in these Dodge/Jeep vehicles 1981-1997 Ram series 1984-1997 Jeep Cherokee 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler
My mom had an ‘81 Delta 88 with the same exact dash. Watching this video, I can just smell the combination of plastic mustiness and gasoline with the slightest hint of exhaust. Magnifique!
I love door chimes. I just got rid of my B body 1992 Buick Roadmaster Limited sedan. Nice 350 in it, dark blue velour seats, inflatable and power seats, rear air ride, and every bell and whistle standard (digital AC, digital compass, external temp, power everything). Best family cars I ever owned were B body and G body GMs.
my fav was a 1988 olds 98. like a dummy i sold it and bought a '93 olds 98. the 93 had a 3800 and the 88 had a 3300 i believe. both got good mileage for a big car and not a minutes trouble out of either but when i traded up i could not help but miss the 1988 model. i miss it even more now but such is life.
My dad had a silver '78 with the black velour interior and the Chevy 350. It was quiet luxury...the first car that made like NO noise. I may have cranked the starter thinking that thing wasn't running. Like driving on a cloud....
We used to have 4 car dealerships in the 70s within walking distance and every day we'd just go in as kids and sit in all the cars. The salespeople were just so cool and talked to us and had no problem with 4 preteens going through the whole place every day. They'd give us auto decals and other little swag. You cannot ever convince me that its a better world today. Nope! Im very grateful and fortunate to grow up when, where and as i did. Appreciate all the people too!!! Really awesome times.
As a teen in the 50’s I couldn’t wait for the new models to come out around Fall. The dealerships were spread about but it wasn’t a big town. We had one car brand with the same name as the street it was on. Lincoln. Cars were a big deal to us back then. They seem to be just transportation now. The thrill is gone.
@TomSpeaks-vw1zp yes indeed. We rode our bikes to like 6 different dealerships and the sales people were so cool. Always dressed up in suits and really professional. So nice to us. And the cars were spectacular . I always loved Jerry's Chevrolet cus they had a bunch of vettes. One day a sales woman took us for a ride in one individually. It was the best thing ever. So yeah the cars and all were awesome but I just remember those people being so nice and patient with a bunch of kids. Every damn day. Never told us to get lost. Amazing!!!
@@robertdiehl9003 I get that most of you are too young to know how these cars work, but it makes absolutely no difference based on the design of the pedal. The top is the only part that pivots inward on almost all old cars, the mat covering the bottom will never stop the throttle from closing. There's no reason to be rude when you don't even know what you're talking about.
I remember the old days where the edge of the GM ignition key would wear down and you could just pull it out of the cylinder wile you were driving. My first car, a 78' Regal could do that, and my buddies 80' Cutlass supreme cold do it too.

Those days are not gone, the key for my 00 Malibu would slide right in and start my buddy's Grand Am, and one of my HHRs cylinder was so worn I could put the key from my other HHR or the key from my Sierra in it and it would turn. Couldn't start it because chips didn't match but it did unlock the column and wake everything up
I miss the aesthetics of old cars. Spacious, minimalist, the wood paneling, the flat dash, the plush seats like couches…. 😮💨👌🏼 If I had all the money in the world, I would just have a collection of vehicles from the 70s to early 90s
@@Incomudro1963 No, sir I am not blind. Compared to all the controls on modern cars and ,in particular, all the nooks and crannies on the dash. The 89 F150 and the 87 LaSabre I had were SO much more minimalist compared to the Honda Oddessey and Toyota RAV4 I have now. Especially when I’m detailing the interior.
@@Incomudro1963Cluttered mess? Much prefer the controls you can feel with knobs and sliders to control stuff than a touchscreen you have to take your eyes off the road to see what you're adjusting. I find the modern cars much more distracting to drive.
@@davegravel3740 Yeah, I like physical controls - and some new cars - Honda and Mazda still have them. But THIS stuff, on these American cars of the time sucked. An ergonomic mess.
I've driven so many cars like this, there is nothing at all unusual about these sounds. All cars sounded like this until at least the 1980s. Though the door chimes are a 1980s thing. Before that we had ignition / seat belt buzzers.
I drive my 1978 Chevrolet Silverado truck everyday. Love it. Maintain your vehicle just like your house and you will not have to replace. No car payments is a great life.
Man that car brings back memories from my childhood. My mother’s boyfriend bought a 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass while they were together that looked just like on the inside. The paneling, the blue cloth seat, the white door on the cassette player. Wow. This brought back some memories for sure lol.
Ohhhh the nostalgia! I could smell the interior when you opened the door! '80 Olds Cutlass Supreme was my first car and I drove that thing until the floorboards rusted out and I had to give it up since I could see the road literally racing by under my feet. I miss that car so much. Quiet, roomy, and built like a tank with the V8 engine. They knew how to build them back then!
That slow start after the hitting the gas pedal tells me two things: 1. The carb accelerator pump is faulty (plausible). 2. The carb float bowl was dry, and required priming by turning the engine over to pump fresh fuel into it (most likely). Hot day + hot car + bad evaporative fuel = no fast start. These cars were engineered to run on pure gasoline, not the crap ethanol blends we're forced to use. BTW - love this car!
@@miketeeveedub5779Every Chevy/GMC carbed pickup I’ve driven started quickest with 2 full pedal pumps. Not 1 1/2, not 1 3/4, but 2. All the way to the floor, release, all the way to the floor, release, crank. Except in colder (
My buddy had this same car, albeit cream exterior with burgundy interior, in high school back in 93. We spent many of evenings back roading, drinking beer, smoking door and listening to cypress hill and Genius GZA. I can literally smell that car from memory. God it feels like yesterday.
My first car was a Cutlass Ciera. The interior looked similar to that, but not exactly like it. That's pretty much what the speedometer looked like, though. Good memories.
Now that is a car ! Not these new junk piles !! Classic well built cars that were comfortable to actually ride in ! I would love an Oldsmobile wagon from that same era !!
MY 18 SUBIE 23K ALREADY 3RD BATTERYS 4 NE TIRES BRAKES AND 5 RECALLS I REMEMBER MY LATE DAD 76 FORD VAN WITH 3 SPEED SHIFT ON COLUMN HAD NOTHING BUT BAD NERVES ON THESE NEW PLASTICS LIKE THE ONE I RENTED 2 WEEKS AGO WITH PUSH BUTTON START WOULDND START UNLESS YOUR FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL JUNK
Yes that's a nice car! I agree with you, these new cars are all the same uni-body egg-shaped crap. Stupid looking and drive like a toy. When I was a kid in the '60's we had a 1963 Chevy station wagon, my favorite car as a kid. We used it for camping, fishing, taking long trips, it was great! And it was made of something called U.S. STEEL!
Thanks for sharing this content. I wouldn’t have done a search for it, but the algorithm did its job. I’ve seen and owned similar, and it brought back things I didn’t realize I’d forgotten. I still use a key for my doors and ignition, but seeing that second key was like being hit by a thunderbolt.
Funny thing: Some 40 years later the olds starter motor turning over sounds EXACTLY the way I remember it from 1983 (we had a 4dr delta 88 royale), right down to taking the same time on the starter to finally fire up, and the spin down! That's crazy all these decades later absolutely nothing about it changed
I still have a 72 cutlass "S" hard top coupe,after 30 years of ownership it still starts every time and has not once failed us. Other than a strip to metal repaint 20 years ago the car is mostly original,and in amazing condition.
I miss those 71 and 72 Cutlass’. Apex of Olds design in my opinion. The Olds 350 was just about indestructible. Only thing it needed was an overdrive transmission. My brother had a medium blue 71 and it would just run and run. Probably one of the best cars he ever had.
I love that the internals are just as unmolested as the exterior, no aftermarket dash to ruin the look, just stick on accessories that provide modern comforts like charging ports and wireless connection to the stock radio via the FM radio transmitter. I've done this to my own 78 Pontiac
I took my road test to get my drivers license with a 1978 Chevy Caprice, a long "boat like" car like this one with no back up camera, and no power steering. Still, very enjoyable to drive! If I could afford to buy one car for every day of the week, one of them would be a 1978 Chevy truck, 1978 Chevrolet Caprice, 1983 Cadillac, 1984 Oldsmobile, 1995 Toyota Corolla, 1996 Nissan Maxima, and 2018 Jeep Wrangler.
I love the sounds of old cars, the doors opening and closing, the instruments like blinkers and all the rest. New cars don't have those satisfying sounds like old ones, it's like cars were made to be durable and with quality before lmao
You're looking at a thing called survivorship bias. Cars are WAY more reliable today with extremely precise build tolerances. These things weren't expected to reach 100k miles.
I had an 85 Fleetwood Brougham. Yes, you're right about the almost. It's not exactly the same. But to say it isn't as good wouldn't be right either. The biggest difference is that if you blindfolded someone and drove them round; they'd at least know they were being driven round in the Olds.
They sure are nice, I have several videos of this car on my channel. I also used to have a 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado, it's also here on youtube. Tanks for watching!
Beautiful car! I have an '85 Delta 88 that an older guy owned from new until he passed away; only 49K original miles on it. I've done quite a bit of maintenance to it and use it as my daily driver except through winter as it has no body rot and I plan on keeping it that way. Recently I took a 120 mile round trip cruising 80 MPH on the interstate with no issues, and it was a lot of fun. Especially when paired with the Rocket 307, these can be great cars with just some basic maintenance.
@@beenbeatenbybishops5845 Yes, I will! I have many more plans for fixing little things the old timer didn't keep up on, in addition to road trips and regular oil changes, filter changes, etc.
I drove a 1985 Delta 88 Royale for years with that exact same interior except the stitching on the seat was just straight lines. Powder blue with dark blue half landau top, dark blue interior. It was like driving your couch. Good times.
Ahhhh, back in the 90s to early 2000s I had an 80 Delta 88 4 door, only year the 307 V8 had the conventional HEI and quadrajet. After 5 years of that cloud on wheels, I got another 4 door Delta 88, an 84 for a mere $2000. By 2002 and a better job, I moved up to a Chevy truck that cost a little more but those 10 years I had two Delta 88s, those were reliable, easy to work on, not bad on gas,good resale cars. Seems like a long time ago. Hmmm , seems like I removed the slot machine multi pin noise box. I know I did on the truck, drove me nuts. Nice ride in the video.
I was born in 1992, my parents had an 80s Oldsmobile with an interior looked just like this when I was a kid, only it had a stick shift. My mom told me apparently when I was 3 or 4, one time when the car was parked in the driveway, and she had the doors open to clean it, I climbed inside and managed to put the parking break down, and the car rolled down the driveway into the backyard. I have no memory of this, but she loves to remind me of it lol

Nothing like a good old metal machine with a metal plate with raised lettering reading the model, specs, and country of origin riveted to the back.
Eh, they were pretty junky cars back then too like the Chevy Citation, this was somewhat of a luxury car.
That starting sound was pure nostalgia … one of my all time favourite automotive sounds is when the starter is turning it over and then it finally starts and makes that wheeeeeerrrr noise of the starter spinning free on these old gm’s
This made me smile. Brings back a lot of memories. I waited for the sound of the engine starting, knowing what it would sound like.
That's what I call a car! ❤
Back in they day when cars were cars
The last true 'cars'...
my 1985 $5900 Nissan PickUp Had a Neat 😊Ding Dong Door Chime, my 2011 Toyota Has a Mundane LackLuster😢 Door Chime, .....😅im Thinking Of Putting a OLd 😊Chime@ Trunk Just To 😅Modify Something Easy& RemoveabLe, That Camrys ALmost to 😊BLand , But DeLigtfull@ reLiabiLitys, and The 😮SteeL WhelLs always a 😊Win, Just being 😅Nutty!.
@@bryanmathew2079 Those old Mitsubishi Door door chime were the best. because it was actually played a song, a friend had a Starion and when he first got out i made him sit there with the door open till i heard the entire song 😂
That said that Oldsmobile door chime is far and away better than the normal General Motors door chime, which was just a annoying buzzer.
The standard General Motors door chime was literally the automotive equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.
@@twoeightythreezI remember when Chevy used the "sine wave" door buzzers back in the 80's-90's. Sounded like a severe weather alert 😂
Oh the good old days how I miss them
Those were the days my friend!
The days of 140hp v10 engines that the automakers never expected to get past 99,999 miles 😂
@Clipper1094 The days of personality and soul.
That tone is so much more pleasant than the buzzer we had in our 1979 Toyota Corolla.
Unlocking cars back then would give youngins today a fit.
LOL
My 2024 model year car is that way, no key fob. Got to do it the old fashioned way.
"TWO keys? Where's the other ignition where this other round one goes?" 😂
I've locked keys in the car with the engine running once. Thank God there was a spare set in the house!
bruh im 22 and i drive a 94 caddy with 2 keys, get over yourself you bitter old man
Damn I love this car. My grandpa had one, and it was fantastic!!! He's why I love these fantastic automobiles. He fixed these cars up and had about 30 different ones at a time in the yard that I used to go play in as a kid. I sure miss him!
This is the car I learned how to drive in back in the 90's. Mom had an 85' Olds Delta 88 4-door, LS Brougham. Closest you could get to the Caddy. Very familiar sound to it. Would love to own one someday.
Thanks for sharing your story and watching the video! They are pretty close to a Cadillac Deville yes!
Now they sound like star wars speeders with the electric cars.
Hate the sound. I'm certain the noise is what makes the Tesla people such a**wipes. In general.
Now this is a worth ride to drive accross the country while listening old songs.
Quality. 🍷🗿
And I have done it! In my 1983 Oldsmobile 98!
I would love to drive all over the US and never stop again while listening to old music. Just enjoy the beauty of nature and listen to your tires rolling over the asphalt, the birds chirping and the engine running. Such a beautiful tought❤
its only an 80 something model not a 60s🥴
@@MRTLEW01 So what? That doesn't take away the fact it's probably comfier than many modern cars, with a plushy ride that invites you to a long cruise.
Bringing back memories. In 1992 I bought a 1980 delta88 like this. 307 with a 3 speed automatic . I had that car 5 years, great car, comfy interior. About a year after trading the 80 model, I bought an 84 d88. Same 307 but has an automatic with overdrive. It was much quicker than the 80 model , I guess different gearing. I had that until 2003 and sold it. Dammit, I want another one now. I traveled alot in those cars, and traveled comfortably . 😎
nice car. in 85 i bought an 84 buick regal, limited edition. velour seats, it had real spoke rims too. beautiful looking car, all the bells and whistles. a luxury version of the grand national. so sporty looking too. wonderful to drive. wish i knew more about the terrible 238 v6 engine they put in it though. turned a nice car into a nightmare.
Reminds me of Quentin Tarantino
That was a nice throwback. I recognize the Oldsmobile chime, even remember hearing the exact same chime in the Toronado/Trofeo. The GM chime has evolved over the years, but I still recognize the cadence of the alert in newer products until the chimes were updated in the last two/three years. Thank you for sharing.
Man, these old 80s GM interiors bring back a lot of memories. We had a gray 86 Regal that had the same interior. Those hvac controls awoke some nostalgia
It would be wise and safer to reposition the floor mat that's partially covering half of the gas pedal.
Totally agree, will find a better solution for this. It was just to protect the original one!
painterboy,
That's old school cruise control !
☆
@@fjb4932,😂
It's low enough that it would never prevent the pedal from coming back based on how they're hinged on older cars. Only the top moves inward while the bottom remains in place.
@@MeadeJ67, perfectly safe, lol, to have carpet partially covering your gas pedal. That's the first thing they teach you in driver's ed.🤔
This was an 80s Oldsmobile chime for RWD 88, 98, and the FWD versions, plus the Toronado. It's a chord chime meaning its two notes a hi/lo playing same time. Sounds great.
Cheaper GM cars still had a buzzer for another few years.
@@nlpnt yes they did
My dads 87 delta 88 had this chime too. Always came on when the low fuel light came on which was very often.
I think this particular chime was exclusive to Oldsmobile. I'm not sure any other GM brand at the time used it.
That buzzer sound was also used in these Dodge/Jeep vehicles
1981-1997 Ram series
1984-1997 Jeep Cherokee
1987-1996 Dodge Dakota
1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler
I still dream about my old 73 caprice.
My mom had an ‘81 Delta 88 with the same exact dash. Watching this video, I can just smell the combination of plastic mustiness and gasoline with the slightest hint of exhaust. Magnifique!
I love door chimes. I just got rid of my B body 1992 Buick Roadmaster Limited sedan. Nice 350 in it, dark blue velour seats, inflatable and power seats, rear air ride, and every bell and whistle standard (digital AC, digital compass, external temp, power everything). Best family cars I ever owned were B body and G body GMs.
Door chimes are excellent in older cars! 92 Roadmaster is a great car!
Congrats on your RM! Love 'em. I have a '95 Limited, still virgin with 65k Miles. The LT-1 is so much fun.
Inflatable seats? Like air ride on a schoolbus?
my fav was a 1988 olds 98. like a dummy i sold it and bought a '93 olds 98. the 93 had a 3800 and the 88 had a 3300 i believe. both got good mileage for a big car and not a minutes trouble out of either but when i traded up i could not help but miss the 1988 model. i miss it even more now but such is life.
my first car was a 92 buick century with the 3.3 v6 haha I actually loved that car. Been so long I don’t even remember the noise it made
The moment you sat in that car in my mind, I could smell the smell of those old cars inside, that’s so bizarre! But nostalgic at the same time. 👍
That's probably the asbestos in the seat lining 😆
@@derrickyegge1303 ... good one 🤣 It's in all the "Plastic", that's covered with the Fake Corinthian Pleather (aka faux leather).
Hard to believe how long it's been since those days! When I saw the two keys, I couldn't help but smile!
@@CarlosClarkIIMD yeah. 😊 👍
Oh!! A properly functioning E4M. That immediate kick down from the high idle to smooth cold idle. Beauty!
There is a special feel in an Oldsmobile. 🚀
I miss those old cars
I guess if you are driving that car you are a winner!!!
Haha well thank you very much, I can assure you the car puts a smile on most peoples faces, including mine!
Got that right. I'm jealous.
That brings back a lot of memories, my dad was an Oldsmobile man.
My dad had a silver '78 with the black velour interior and the Chevy 350. It was quiet luxury...the first car that made like NO noise. I may have cranked the starter thinking that thing wasn't running. Like driving on a cloud....
Hahah yes, I understand what you mean! Pure luxury!
We used to have 4 car dealerships in the 70s within walking distance and every day we'd just go in as kids and sit in all the cars. The salespeople were just so cool and talked to us and had no problem with 4 preteens going through the whole place every day. They'd give us auto decals and other little swag. You cannot ever convince me that its a better world today. Nope! Im very grateful and fortunate to grow up when, where and as i did. Appreciate all the people too!!! Really awesome times.
As a teen in the 50’s I couldn’t wait for the new models to come out around Fall. The dealerships were spread about but it wasn’t a big town. We had one car brand with the same name as the street it was on. Lincoln. Cars were a big deal to us back then. They seem to be just transportation now. The thrill is gone.
@TomSpeaks-vw1zp yes indeed. We rode our bikes to like 6 different dealerships and the sales people were so cool. Always dressed up in suits and really professional. So nice to us. And the cars were spectacular . I always loved Jerry's Chevrolet cus they had a bunch of vettes. One day a sales woman took us for a ride in one individually. It was the best thing ever. So yeah the cars and all were awesome but I just remember those people being so nice and patient with a bunch of kids. Every damn day. Never told us to get lost. Amazing!!!
Very nice Car... The only thing that bugs me is the floor mat on the gas pedal. Serious danger. Drive Save ^^
Yes, underneath is the original floor mat. But I will make sure to find a better solution to this.
Yea, that's just stupid and dumb to do
@@robertdiehl9003 I get that most of you are too young to know how these cars work, but it makes absolutely no difference based on the design of the pedal. The top is the only part that pivots inward on almost all old cars, the mat covering the bottom will never stop the throttle from closing. There's no reason to be rude when you don't even know what you're talking about.
@@MeadeJ67🤣🤣🤣
@@MeadeJ67 it's not a VW or a porsche with a bottom hinged pedal. It's still hinged at the top. That floor mat can will jam the pedal.
This makes me miss my Cadillac Brougham. It was such a wonderful big car. So reliable and beautiful.
Deuce & a Quarter, also...what great times/cars !~
My gosh I love the dash and all the knobs and buttons. Absolutely cool as hell!
Definitely sounds like it 😎. Wish cars were still made the way they used to. Miss having a car like that.
I remember the old days where the edge of the GM ignition key would wear down and you could just pull it out of the cylinder wile you were driving. My first car, a 78' Regal could do that, and my buddies 80' Cutlass supreme cold do it too.
Haha thats cool! This car only has 38K miles on it, so it's not worn enough yet!

To this day almost every car I've owned is that way and it's awesome.
Those days are not gone, the key for my 00 Malibu would slide right in and start my buddy's Grand Am, and one of my HHRs cylinder was so worn I could put the key from my other HHR or the key from my Sierra in it and it would turn. Couldn't start it because chips didn't match but it did unlock the column and wake everything up
My '76 corolla could do that too, haha
im in love with that chime & all these cars
I miss the aesthetics of old cars. Spacious, minimalist, the wood paneling, the flat dash, the plush seats like couches…. 😮💨👌🏼 If I had all the money in the world, I would just have a collection of vehicles from the 70s to early 90s
Minimalist?
Are you blind?
Those dashboards were cluttered messes.
@@Incomudro1963 No, sir I am not blind. Compared to all the controls on modern cars and ,in particular, all the nooks and crannies on the dash. The 89 F150 and the 87 LaSabre I had were SO much more minimalist compared to the Honda Oddessey and Toyota RAV4 I have now. Especially when I’m detailing the interior.
@@Incomudro1963Cluttered mess? Much prefer the controls you can feel with knobs and sliders to control stuff than a touchscreen you have to take your eyes off the road to see what you're adjusting. I find the modern cars much more distracting to drive.
There is nothing minimalist about this these are hard to read
@@davegravel3740 Yeah, I like physical controls - and some new cars - Honda and Mazda still have them.
But THIS stuff, on these American cars of the time sucked.
An ergonomic mess.
I've driven so many cars like this, there is nothing at all unusual about these sounds. All cars sounded like this until at least the 1980s. Though the door chimes are a 1980s thing. Before that we had ignition / seat belt buzzers.
Only in America, the rest of the world didn't need an alarm to tell them the key was in the ignition switch.
I remember my grandpa had a truck with a buzzer. So annoying. I ripped the speaker out of my 1996 mustang because the dinging was annoying af
Man I forgotten about that interior bong our 93 88 olds had the FE3 package
I drive my 1978 Chevrolet Silverado truck everyday. Love it. Maintain your vehicle just like your house and you will not have to replace. No car payments is a great life.
Man that car brings back memories from my childhood. My mother’s boyfriend bought a 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass while they were together that looked just like on the inside. The paneling, the blue cloth seat, the white door on the cassette player. Wow. This brought back some memories for sure lol.
These were popular cars back in the day! Thanks for watching!
The floor mat on top of the accelerator is freaking me out
Haha, yes you're not the first one to comment that. Reason it's there is to protect the original floor mat.
The low, burly rumble of a healthy Olds. That’s a VERY well-built car. Respect it and see to it’s care forever. What we’ve got is all we’ve got left.
Ohhhh the nostalgia! I could smell the interior when you opened the door! '80 Olds Cutlass Supreme was my first car and I drove that thing until the floorboards rusted out and I had to give it up since I could see the road literally racing by under my feet. I miss that car so much. Quiet, roomy, and built like a tank with the V8 engine. They knew how to build them back then!
I had an 85 Olds Delta 88 Royale Brougham 4 door...last year of the rear wheel drives. I loved that car...it was a joy to drive.
With all that suspense before starting it I thought it was a Diesel. Like the wheel design.
It's a gas machine, although Olds was kinda in the Diesel game these years
I thought the same thing! Waiting for the orange "wait" light to go out! :D
That slow start after the hitting the gas pedal tells me two things: 1. The carb accelerator pump is faulty (plausible). 2. The carb float bowl was dry, and required priming by turning the engine over to pump fresh fuel into it (most likely).
Hot day + hot car + bad evaporative fuel = no fast start. These cars were engineered to run on pure gasoline, not the crap ethanol blends we're forced to use. BTW - love this car!
@@miketeeveedub5779Every Chevy/GMC carbed pickup I’ve driven started quickest with 2 full pedal pumps. Not 1 1/2, not 1 3/4, but 2. All the way to the floor, release, all the way to the floor, release, crank. Except in colder (
Yep remember about 3 pumps of the gas pedal. Turn the key an off to the races when it warns up......Great memories of my1972 Chevelle 307 two barrel
My buddy had this same car, albeit cream exterior with burgundy interior, in high school back in 93. We spent many of evenings back roading, drinking beer, smoking door and listening to cypress hill and Genius GZA. I can literally smell that car from memory. God it feels like yesterday.
An '85 Olds...clean as hell with 2 usb cig adapters wired up somehow! GOTTA Love That ISH!!
My first car was a Cutlass Ciera. The interior looked similar to that, but not exactly like it. That's pretty much what the speedometer looked like, though. Good memories.
The Ciera was nice
@@Dinkymaster7 It really was. In hindsight, I kind of wish I hadn't switched it out as soon as I did, but I guess hindsight is always 20/20.
Now that is a car ! Not these new junk piles !! Classic well built cars that were comfortable to actually ride in ! I would love an Oldsmobile wagon from that same era !!
MY 18 SUBIE 23K ALREADY 3RD BATTERYS 4 NE TIRES BRAKES AND 5 RECALLS

WOULDND START UNLESS YOUR FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL
JUNK
Yes that's a nice car! I agree with you, these new cars are all the same uni-body egg-shaped crap. Stupid looking and drive like a toy. When I was a kid in the '60's we had a 1963 Chevy station wagon, my favorite car as a kid. We used it for camping, fishing, taking long trips, it was great! And it was made of something called U.S. STEEL!
Love the starter sound on these. And yeah, that door chime is GOLD.
Wow! Thanks for your recording, these sound just amazing! Bring back my memory!
Those sounds are the reason why u loved my oldsmobile yours is beautiful as well
Some of the 70's and 80's Cadillacs had a real chime for the seat belt fasten warning, so they sounded like a pinball machine!
Thanks for sharing this content. I wouldn’t have done a search for it, but the algorithm did its job. I’ve seen and owned similar, and it brought back things I didn’t realize I’d forgotten. I still use a key for my doors and ignition, but seeing that second key was like being hit by a thunderbolt.
Feels like Sunday mornings headed to church.
Haha, lol
Funny thing: Some 40 years later the olds starter motor turning over sounds EXACTLY the way I remember it from 1983 (we had a 4dr delta 88 royale), right down to taking the same time on the starter to finally fire up, and the spin down! That's crazy all these decades later absolutely nothing about it changed
Sidenote who's old enough to hear Scatman John when an olds v8 starter turns
I still have a 72 cutlass "S" hard top coupe,after 30 years of ownership it still starts every time and has not once failed us. Other than a strip to metal repaint 20 years ago the car is mostly original,and in amazing condition.
Thats a beautiful car you have!
I miss those 71 and 72 Cutlass’. Apex of Olds design in my opinion. The Olds 350 was just about indestructible. Only thing it needed was an overdrive transmission. My brother had a medium blue 71 and it would just run and run. Probably one of the best cars he ever had.
The sound of my childhood. Good times!
Thanks for watching!
I love older cars! They looked and were designed so much better then anything today. And their just fun to drive!
I love that the internals are just as unmolested as the exterior, no aftermarket dash to ruin the look, just stick on accessories that provide modern comforts like charging ports and wireless connection to the stock radio via the FM radio transmitter. I've done this to my own 78 Pontiac
Olds is my favorite GM brand. So im loving this 88.
It's a lovely machine❤
I love the smell of a 1950s - 1970s car. It reminds me of my childhood.
Back when properly lacing a steering wheel cover was a serious endeavor. I have to admit... It's something I achieved 😢
Nice clean looking old 80's ride...love it. Nostalgic coolness.
My parents had an '82 Delta 88 sedan. It was a nice ride.
Very nice indeed! They don't make em' like they used to
I took my road test to get my drivers license with a 1978 Chevy Caprice, a long "boat like" car like this one with no back up camera, and no power steering. Still, very enjoyable to drive! If I could afford to buy one car for every day of the week, one of them would be a 1978 Chevy truck, 1978 Chevrolet Caprice, 1983 Cadillac, 1984 Oldsmobile, 1995 Toyota Corolla, 1996 Nissan Maxima, and 2018 Jeep Wrangler.
I love the sounds of old cars, the doors opening and closing, the instruments like blinkers and all the rest. New cars don't have those satisfying sounds like old ones, it's like cars were made to be durable and with quality before lmao
that door handle sounded amazing🔥 everything looks amazing
I reallly miss those days!
Love The Chime Sounds
As soon as I saw the seat I could feel it. And the interior as soon as he opened the door I could smell the car. Crazy.
You hit the "Drive It To The Junkyard" bonus. Congratulations!
Luxurious and very long lasting unlike today's disposable crap that lasts 7-8 years if you're lucky.
Absolutely! This one is soon 40 years old and still rocking it💪🏻
@@Dinkymaster7 Tough times for car enthusiasts. They didn't destroy motorcycles yet because it's not as easy as with cars but they're on their way.
You're looking at a thing called survivorship bias. Cars are WAY more reliable today with extremely precise build tolerances. These things weren't expected to reach 100k miles.
I miss my 85 Delta 88, I had one of the cleanest in my city back in 2002. And they ride almost like Caddys... Almost
I had an 85 Fleetwood Brougham. Yes, you're right about the almost. It's not exactly the same. But to say it isn't as good wouldn't be right either.
The biggest difference is that if you blindfolded someone and drove them round; they'd at least know they were being driven round in the Olds.
Growing up my Dad owned an Olds. Delta 88. It all came flooding back, great vid!
I loved Oldsmobiles from the 1970s. My parents had two back in the day.
They sure are nice, I have several videos of this car on my channel. I also used to have a 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado, it's also here on youtube. Tanks for watching!
Beautiful car! I have an '85 Delta 88 that an older guy owned from new until he passed away; only 49K original miles on it. I've done quite a bit of maintenance to it and use it as my daily driver except through winter as it has no body rot and I plan on keeping it that way. Recently I took a 120 mile round trip cruising 80 MPH on the interstate with no issues, and it was a lot of fun.
Especially when paired with the Rocket 307, these can be great cars with just some basic maintenance.
They were extremely comfortable and relatively easy on fuel. I'm so glad you have the car. I sure miss my 84. Keep that baby as long as you can!
@@beenbeatenbybishops5845 Yes, I will! I have many more plans for fixing little things the old timer didn't keep up on, in addition to road trips and regular oil changes, filter changes, etc.
Now this is a real car. Sounds a lot more like a train crossing 🤣
Man this brings back good memories. My mom had a 1983 sedan brand new and that car rode smoothly
I drove a 1985 Delta 88 Royale for years with that exact same interior except the stitching on the seat was just straight lines. Powder blue with dark blue half landau top, dark blue interior.
It was like driving your couch.
Good times.
Might have had some other option trim than this one! Sounds like you had a beautiful car! Thanks for watching!
Magnificent condition
Still modern..ever pull in a choke, and push in a clutch pedal when starting?..thought so..love the shoes..😂👍
Haha I actually have some other cars on my channel with manual transmissions and manual chokes. But I get the comment, lol😂
I remember my grandma had a Chevy Monte Carlo that made a buzzing noise when it started. I loved that car.
We had an 82 oldsmobile cutlass supreme growing up, it was bad ass
Had a maroon 81!
Ahhhh, back in the 90s to early 2000s I had an 80 Delta 88 4 door, only year the 307 V8 had the conventional HEI and quadrajet. After 5 years of that cloud on wheels, I got another 4 door Delta 88, an 84 for a mere $2000. By 2002 and a better job, I moved up to a Chevy truck that cost a little more but those 10 years I had two Delta 88s, those were reliable, easy to work on, not bad on gas,good resale cars. Seems like a long time ago. Hmmm , seems like I removed the slot machine multi pin noise box. I know I did on the truck, drove me nuts. Nice ride in the video.
my buddies had a 454 rocket delta 88...ohhh my gosh the levy jumping and roof surfing that went on....naive fools..
I own a 1985 Delta 88 Royale Brougham Luxury Sedan myself! Same interior, but my steering wheel is in way worse shape, sadly
Great to hear from a fellow Delta 88 owner! The steering wheels can tend to detoriate, but it's still a superb automobile!
I was born in 1992, my parents had an 80s Oldsmobile with an interior looked just like this when I was a kid, only it had a stick shift.
My mom told me apparently when I was 3 or 4, one time when the car was parked in the driveway, and she had the doors open to clean it, I climbed inside and managed to put the parking break down, and the car rolled down the driveway into the backyard. I have no memory of this, but she loves to remind me of it lol
My grandpa had the same car, down to the color, and handed it down to my older bro when he was 16. Awesome automobile!
