    Lovely looking car, and very well optioned, including gauge package. Get that little bit of rust at the back corner of the quarter window, and the body looks great, too.

    I don't see the rust you're talking about. Looks like a beauty to me. I'm very tempted.

    Even the original GM floor mats look great!

    Those mats look relatively new...look at the carpet under them over by the door edge.
    If I had to roll the dice, and pick one of these unseen, I would pick this one below in the link. Without a second thought.

    Understood. :) It's all a matter of personal preference. The mats could have been replaced at some point. I like this 1990 due to the aluminum wheels and all options, but they both look like great Oldsmobiles as well as great deals for the money! :bouncy:

    Yeah...those wheels are nice for sure. Those were the ones I had on my 88 Electra wagon. They are very sharp looking wheels.
    My bet on the Wisconsin wagon is that it rarely left the Island and was used mostly to go to the store and back in its later years. And, if true, and I think it might be, it was driven in the summer only. May have been left on the Island as a summer car for her when she vacationed there. Anyway....that's my choice between the two for about the same money. Even without the cool wheels.

    Look at the extreme back, lower corner of the quarter window. The bulge looks to be rust to me. I may be wrong, but that chrome line goes straight through. Also, if you look closely, it looks like a streak of rust running down from there. Not a big deal, if that is all there is, but something to look at if you are interested in the car. Those wheels are really beautiful. Personally, there is one thing that would keep me from owning a 90 anything from G.M., and that is the door mounted seatbelts. I am tall enough that the belts don't actually hold me in place, as I'm sitting behind the door in order to fit.

    What engine would be in that? And what kind of performance could be expected? Economy? Power?

    It would have the 307 V8 which is no powerhouse, but that could be replaced with a 350 or 403 pretty easily.
