Hi all..
not long before in this forum i learned we mentioned broughams difference as cushy seats or more comfortable seats or what you call that :) ?.. yesterday i learned from the vin code that we had the brougham or it seems as brougham according to vin data sheet for 90's models that brando gave its link...
but the problem is we don't have any cushy seats just plain seats but nearly all options are loaded accept abs and airbag..... is our car reallyy brougham or what? and are side trims also differs in brougham models?we have just white trims in both sides...
and by the way how can i find new radio tuner chip for that model because our radio is sizzling and the service said its about the radio tuner thing inside the radio gone bad...i searched ebay and couldt find for 90' models.. is ac delco provides that years models?i looked them also but could not find thank you again..

I'm not really sure about what specifically the Brougham package is all about...but if the VIN says it's a Brougham, it is a Brougham.

As for the radio...check THIS out. I'm not sure if they ship internationally or not...I'm sure they would be willing to.

There should be a little square badge on the front fender that says Brougham.

I don't really think that's what he's asking...as the VIN already says it is a Brougham....it's what changes with the Brougham package...I know the older cars, the package meant loose, cushy seats with a much softer (sexy :) ) fabric. Not sure about the newer eighty eights.

Brougham wasnt a package like the 98 Touring sedan or the Ciera GT, it was a full fleged trim level. Broughams added to the base Royale color corordinated exterior mirrors , power trunk lid release, added trim, They had upgraded interior fabric and Brougham badges.

Should have added that nearly all Brougham features were avalable at extra cost on the base Royale. Really all the Brougham was is a well optioned Royale with nicer trim (Brougham added to the cars trim). My Uncle has a 88 88 Royale with body color mirrors a/c, and am/fmcass. all came with the Brougham models but he doesnt have power windows/mirrors/locks which was standard on the Brougham.

I guess it all depended on what the buyer wanted. I know my Royale as well has the color coded mirrors (although the car was wreaked in 93, almost totaled, so who knows), the A/C, and the comfy seats, power windows, and a few other things I can't think of right now.

I would get an aftermarket CD deck for it... Unless you want to maintain a "stock" appeance, but it would sound soooo much better. When the radio went out in my Lumina, I used it as an excuse to put a nice stereo system in it. I reccomend doing the same.

yeah i thought it before but probably dad would not agree in first step because he wants to keep it as original as it goes... because the car belongs to him... pitly i don't have an american car like oldsmobile yet here because god damn car prices are very high here ... :?
while you pay averagely 500 - 1000 $ to for a delta(just for example depending to its contidion or bla bla bla...) ,here if you find that average delta you have to pay 8000-12000 $ for that.. :(
this situation is valid for all americans in Turkey.. maybe even higher in our city İstanbul....
as an example here is an second hand advert of an very good restored 1967 Oldsmobile Delta 88

they want 25000 $ :(

yes :) the only cheapest american cars here is chevy nova's(with the 74-76 body frame.there are too many of them here) with the price of 4000-5000 $... but if I win a lottery or something that 67 delta surely will be mine :o .. but this time buying gas will be a problem because gas prices are also high according to general wealth... :oops: its like a mathematical paradox....
