Default Re: Olds 98 questions


Discerning between 71 & 72 Olds 98's is more difficult than the other GM divisions but here's what I always used to look for.
As in the previous thread, the '71 trunklids had louver vents and 72-76 cars didn't...this applies to other GM division cars too.
From the front, although the grilles are slightly different it's easiest to look for the bumper rub strip...72's had 'em and 71's were smooth w/ no rub strip.
And yes, 98's are slightly longer than 88's because of the 1/4 shape and tail light tips but their style makes them look even longer yet.
