It's nitpicking but the Olds 98 was a little larger than a Caddy DeVille, and the Buick Electra was even larger. The only car GM built larger than the 1975 & 1976 Buick Electra, excluding limos, was the Caddy Fleetwood Brougham. This is a beautiful car BTW.
@tommywatterson52762 жыл бұрын
@@petermartinijr.1012 Yea. You are right. More times than not, on the auto dimensions, the 98 and regular Caddy DeVille were close to the same. Especially the width. The length and wheelbase was different. Olds and Buick had same wheelbase, but length and widths we're really close but did vary. I always wondered how you can have different dimensions but be on the same frame platform. I guess it was the bumpers and sheet metal differences.
