In 1987, things were cut back to three models, a Regency Sedan, Regency Brougham Sedan, and a Regency Brougham Coupe.

In 1988 a new version was introduced, the Regency Touring Sedan, along with a Regency Sedan and a Regency Brougham Sedan. All 98s were sedans in 1988, no Coupes. Those three models would stay the same for 1989 and 1990. For '91, there was the Regency Elite Sedan and a 98 Touring Sedan (no Regency in the name). For '92, '93, and '94 there was both a Regency Elite Sedan and a "plain" Regency Sedan along with the Touring Sedan. For the last two years of 98 production, 1995 and 1996, there was only a single model, a Regency Elite Sedan.

Yes, I know, that ran long, but, hey, once I got started, I couldn't stop!

By the way, 1984 was the last year that 98's came with a V-8 engine. After that, it was only V-6's for the rest of the model's run. This, of course, violated the car's name as "98" originally, going back to 1941, stood for a 90-series Oldsmobile with an 8-cylinder engine.

Beginning in 1985, the standard engine in a 98 was a 181 cubic-inch V6 putting out 110 hp. Optional engines were a 231 cubic-inch V6 at 125 hp or a 263 cu-in diesel putting out 85 hp. V-8s could still be had in an Oldsmobile after 1984, but only in a Cutlass, a Delta 88, or a Custom Cruiser. The last year that you could get a V-8 in any Oldsmobile was 1992, when one was available only in the Custom Cruiser, and 1992 was also the last year for the Custom Cruiser.

Back way way back when I was just a punk kid a friend had a 71 Ninety Eight 4 door that left an impression on me cause it could keep up with my first Olds, a 73 Cutlass Supreme with the 350 4 barrel...

We both went to work at the "Oil Express", it was around 87-88...

I can remember as clear as day changing oil on brand new BOP's and Caddys in the big platform with a V6 in em

I remember just laughing at the fan shroud that was 2 foot long and the dumb *** owner that bought the car

It also made me mad and sad because I new we were just getting started on the path to where were at now-
