1968 98 LS "Royale"
Rocketraider mentioned the obscure Royale interior option in another thread. Not wishing to take that thread further off track, I have started this one.
Oldsmobile offered a Royale interior option for the 98 Luxury Sedan in 1967 and 1968. There is currently one for sale on Facebook Marketplace:

I had never seen a 68 in person with the Royale option until I bought this one. Was an Oldsmobile company car (still has the Oldsmobile parking pass sticker on windshield) which explains why it is fully loaded. It’s a very original unrestored car. Love to cruise in it!

Thank you! I’m into 68s too… currently have 3. Takes me back to the fall of 67… spying the new 68s hidden on the back lot of the local Oldsmobile dealership. I was 5, but the memory is as vivid as if it were yesterday!

I thought that I would share a little more on these rarely seen Royale LS Ninety Eights. The only place that identifies the car as a Royale is on the glove box door. Above shows the 1968 version. I’m not sure if the 67s got a Royale name plate as none show in the parts catalog. Since the 68s got updated name plates (design/font) I doubt the 67 Royales used the same as 68s. Here are some examples…Dave

Thank you…appreciate it! The big Oldsmobiles are excellent cars, very well built, powerful, smooth and very comfortable. Interesting that not many folks appreciate them….probably because they have never driven or ridden in one.
