Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight (tenth generation, 1977 to 1984)

The 1977 model was redesigned and downsized, like the Delta 88. The new models, at around 4000 pounds curb weight, were over 800 pounds lighter, but headroom and rear seat legroom were increased compared to equivalent 1976 models. The 455 engine was replaced by the smaller 403 V8, and the Ninety Eight set a new sales record of 139,423. Its model years run from 1977 to 1984.
