Hi everyone. This is my first post. I don't own an Old's but I do like Oldsmobiles. This is a nice place ya'll have here. I have a question that is really the main goal of me joining. My father bought an '87 Delta 88 Royale Brougham back in 1989. I was only 5 then. He told me that he paid $12,000 and it was like new. But, there was something special about it. It had everything. Even the digital instrument cluster that I haven't seen since. He sold it back in '98 and I haven't seen one like it. It also had a voice that would talk for most of the general things a chime would go off for. i.e. headlights on, parking brake on, etc. Has anyone seen one of these cars?? I've always wanted to find another one and hopefully buy it. My dad put over 250,000 miles on it and it was still running like new, but he had to sell it to start his business. I've missed it ever since. Hope someone can help. Even pics of one would be nice. :)

I've never heard of a voice function... that must have been a rare version. Sounds like it was a very nice car... I have a '88 delta 88 but thats a year newer, and I have just the basics in mine like power windows and locks... (funny how we now consider power windows and locks basic now :-) )

Thanks for the reply. I saw your car. Very nice. I guess the model we had was very rare. That's why I want it so bad, I know there probably isn't many like it. Maybe even none left. Just curious. How much would an '87 Delta 88 go for these days?? Good condition of course.

i think the value was somewhere between 1200 and 1500 US dollars. I wouldnt pay much more than that for one in great shape, unless you were getting extras or something with it.

go to www.edmunds.com and look up the certain model and options you want, and it'll price out current market value on that particular vehicle. Works good!

Hello again. It's been so long since I came here. I almost forgot about this site. I was out of the country for awhile. I'm in the military. Hate to bring this back up I know it's old. But does anyone have any info on this car?? Anyone here have a Delta 88 with at least the electronic instrument panel?? I'm still searching for em. Whenever I see them on the road I look inside. And it's always an analog gauge Delta 88. Even if it is a Broughham. :(

:-k i've never heard of voice functions on an oldsmobile, sounds awsome though. One of my friends used to have a beat up potiac 6000 with digital speedometer/odometer and such... not sure what year but it looked similar size/shape as the one in my '86 delta 88... all i know is he had electrical problems with it (go figure).. i also recall seeing digital clusters for 80's GMs in a jcwhitney catalog if i remember correctly.
