    as far as i know, those fullsize sedan died in 1984 and were replaced by the smaller one in 1985, at least the Regency Sedan. Maybe the Delta 88 was discontinued later.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldsmobile_98

    About the steering wheel, i don't know if it's possible, steering wheels are props and not jbeamed parts like the wheel, so i don't know if they can be moved to work easily on another car.
    I will need some work to place them correctly, so i'll ask about it.

    I looked into it. The Delta 88's eighth generation ended in 1985, with the smaller ninth generation beginning in 1986. What you're thinking about is the 98, as the tenth generation ended in 1984, as said on the Wikipedia page.

    Yep, that's not that important, i kept vague about it because i stick to one single year, i like my own car but i'm not as much passionate about that to remember all the production date, especially because the cars that replaced them are so ugly that it doesn't interests me at all. And also i don't like the look of the last Delta 88 with the Regency front grill and reverse lights.

    In the trailer by Crydev, I notice a wagon for the regency, or delta. I was wondering if it came with the addon, or regular. I have looked, and its not there. Please help.

    Irv Rybicki really didn't do his best in 1985.
    --- Post updated ---

    the eleventh generation 98 series really looks like the LeGran!

    As answered by Misterkenneth the Station Wagon was just a sneek peak of the V2.0 of the mod that will be released with two coupe. In the video it's a very early stuff, done for fun, and really crappy.
    I'm working on it but i can't give release date, it's a lot of work. But the Jbeam is almost done, mesh is in progress, this is a preview :

    To me, that looks more like the Soliad Wendover. I think the LeGran looks more like the Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera.


    OT: I can tell by the jbeam alone, that the Custom Cruiser addition is gonna be good.

    I really like the Station Wagon. Is there a possible off road-ish variant that we'll all be able to use?

    Actually, yes. The offroad stuff can be seen the CryDev trailer. I believe it's the scene where the 98 does a burnout that you can see it.

    No problem, and no mistake, it was written nowhere in the trailer that those cars are not included in the first release, and no easy to read all the thread as well.
    It was the occasion to tell that the work is in progress, no worries ;)

    yea, the legran does look like the cutlass ciera. I think the solidad wendover is based off the 1987 pontiac bonneville though

    When it comes to the 87 Bonneville, I see its sloped front end and the layout of the indicators next to the headlights in the Wendover. I think the headlights are similar to the sixth generation Buick LeSabre, and the taillights are a bit similar to the ninth generation Oldsmobile 88 taillights, with the smaller portion removed, and the larger portion kept.

    Great mod man. I love Oldsmobiles. I've been waiting so long for something like this. You put in amazing detail by the way so great job and my moms friend actually owned a Delta 88 royale brougham. But great mod man keep up the awesome stuff.

    Thanks for the kind comment Joe. As Stiggy111 was asking about offroad stuff that is a bit visible in the trailer, here is a little preview of the Off-road suspensions applyed on the Regency Coupe.
    All the meshes are WIP, suspensions work by AR162B. Front coilovers made by his own.



    And this is the Sedan being tested :
