    An Arizona vehicle without a cracked dash must have slept in the garage. That rear glass is an Anarchist's dream target, though

    When I first saw looked at the interior pictures I thought something was off with the front seat material, but I see it is just strange reflections off fabric. Looks like a good buy at the $6000 asking price, I have seen a lot worse for more. Even considering the 100,000 miles it has traveled.

    If I were able to buy any Olds (Oldsmobile's my favorite GM marque), this color would be one of the few colors I would consider, and the fact he has priced it according to market shows he's a motivated seller. I hope the car goes to an equally motivated buyer.

    That's a beautiful car. The hood is misaligned, though. It's sticking up on the driver's side.

    That interior was officially called "Camel Tan Legend velour," and it is supposed to have that sparkly finish to it. This was your living room couch, after all!

    From the 1978 Olds Sales Handbook. I know the car is a '77, but I'm guessing this didn't change from '77 to '78. Bottom of the left column.

    That tan color would go better with a darker blue exterior
    The ones around here usually make house calls

    He originally had it on the Phoenix craigslist for $6,000, and now it's on Hemmings for $8,000? I think he's going the wrong way. As nice as the car is, and as nice as these cars can be, they just don't seem to command that kind of money. The demand is just not there.
