I have a 1970 Olds, two door Delta custom ordered with all the goodies. The reason for this post is to get the word out to people about this car.This car was ordered with the B-07 option, this was the police package for Oldsmobile. This package consisted of heavy duty- suspension sway bars and box control arms, cooling system, wheels and brakes,W-33 390 Hp, Hd 400 Trans specific to the W-33, Positive traction rear-end,I have all the paperwork to authenticate this car. If anyone is interested please call 469 855 7166 I have rebuilt the engine and she can be driven anywhere.

Cool!
Tom McCahill road-tested the cop-package Delmont 88 back in February 1968 for Mechanix Illustrated. It was a hard-running machine. Here's what "Uncle Tom" concluded:
"In 22 years of testing, with this issue, I've only come across three really great American automobiles. I'm not counting four-wheel-drive specials or Cunningham-type sports cars but regular family-type cars. The first great one was the Mexican Road Race Lincoln of 1953. Next was the Chrysler 300F of 1960 and now the 1968 Oldsmobile State Police car. Of course, if you wish but, in my book, it's a great sedan built the way every other American car should be, including the regular Olds. . . ."
"In summing up, though our test car would not be considered a high-style rig, espically with its black-and-white paint job, it was the greatest American car I have driven since 1960. I tooled this car around the countryside and over interstates for many miles but before I had gone my first mile I realized I was in a truly great piece of transportation. The steering was quick and crisp and when whirling out in passing maneuvers you knew that all four wheels were on the ground and that you had complete command of any situation that might pop up. I could't help but think what an advantage the cops really have with these rigs for whipping in and out or reaching high speeds in an eyeblink. My Mexican Lincoln was like this but that was 15 years ago."

Too bad more of these big Rockets didn't survive.
