A tribute to my 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera
On may 27th, 2008, the transmission in my Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera failed completely. this video is a tribute to my once great car, whose life was tragically cut short just because i couldn't afford a new tranny.
Olds Running Better
Start and idle, then a couple 0-60+ runs. Not bad for a 20 year old car.

1985 Oldsmobile 98 cold start and drive
1985 Front wheel drive Olds 98 Regency Brougham with 163k miles. Cold start at -6 celsius. It's got an Buick 3.8 MPFI engine and THM440-T4 transmission. It's having original paint in quite good condition. Currently having just one rust spot near the left tail light. I'll fix that next summer. I've already repaired rust damages on all door bottoms. Needed to weld new metal. The brown stuff you can see on drivers door is anti corrosion spray.
My Dad driving the 1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal
For 1986, the Delta 88 switched platforms from the GM B platform to the relatively smaller front-wheel drive H platform, with a wheelbase of only 110.8 inches (2,814 mm). The headlights changed from square sealed beam quads to integrated regular/high beam composite lamps in 1987.
In 1989, the "Delta" name was dropped, as was the hood ornament, leaving the model to simply become the "Eighty Eight," now spelled out instead of using the "88" in numerical form.
The Eighty Eight was given a mild facelift in 1990, eschewing the former chromed grille for a body-colored fascia with four slots and the Oldsmobile Rocket logo. In the rear, new taillights and backup lights extended across the body; once again, chrome trim was deleted.
1990-1991 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale
The model range during this time was the standard Eighty Eight, the Eighty Eight Royale, and the Eighty Eight Royale Brougham, in ascending order.
Engines:
* 1986-1988.5 - 3.8 L (231 in³) LG3 V6
* 1988.5-1991 - 3.8 L (231 in³) 3800 LN3 V6
Transmission:
* 1986-1988.5 - 440-T4 4-speed automatic overdrive
* 1988.5-1991 - 4T60 4-speed automatic overdrive
[edit] Voice Diagnostic System
This generation of Delta 88s had an optional voice diagnostic system that alerted the driver of problems.[4] The voice was male and computer synthesized.
In the event of a warning, the door chime played three times rapidly and then played the voice alert. This happened twice in case the driver missed the warning the first time. Every alert also had corresponding light on the instrument cluster.
Warnings included:
* "The engine coolant level is low!"
* "The engine is overheating! Please stop the engine and consult the owner's manual!"
* "The park brake is not fully released!"
* "The key is in the ignition!" (Upon opening the door with the key inserted into the ignition.)
* "The headlights are on!" (Upon turning off the car with the headlights on.)

Getting ready to say goodbye to my 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Brougham.
I still have the demo tape that came with the car when my parents bought it in 1985.
I actually remember the salesman putting the tape into the stereo before we drove the car out of the showroom door.
"There is a special feel in an Oldsmobile.
There is a special feel in an Oldsmobile.
Born in the luxury ride.
Its a feeling of pride that you feel inside.

Sad this car had to go to the junk yard after it rusted out and broke down it was a great car.
