Driving Miss Bertha

 

Bertha is a Light Antelope 1988 Ninety-Eight Regency Brougham that had one owner until 2013.   Delivered brand new in Lawrenceville Georgia to a local elderly lady, this car has  remained in Georgia since new.  This Ninety Eight has never been smoked in and appears to have been garaged for its entire life.

Named after her original owner Bertha, this tan beauty transported the real Miss Bertha and her faithful Schnauzer around Snellville Georgia until Miss Bertha passed on last year just shy of her 94th birthday.  (True story.)   While cleaning up the interior, I was able to deduce that Miss Bertha was a very spiritual woman who loved french fries and Subway.  Several hand written bible verses, expired Subway coupons, and enough petrified french fries to fill up a large fry container were found  Thankfully Miss Bertha was a good driver as there is little evidence of any major mishaps in her past.   The right rear quarter panel has been touched up below the stripe but there is no evidence of any body work anywhere on the car.  The Vehicle report does indicate a slight accident on the rear of the car in 1997.  A professional body man looked at the car for me and stated he didn't see evidence of body repair, just the paint work on the fender.    

This nicely equipped Regency Brougham model has the following equipment:

• 3800 V6 with Automatic
• power windows, locks, mirrors, steering, brakes, and seats.  
• Ice Cold R12 Air conditioning
• Factory AM/FM Cassette
• tilt wheel
• cruise control
• Twilight Sentinel
• Automatic trunk close
• illuminated entry
• ride-level control
• ABS brakes (a nearly $1000 option in 1988)
• leather interior
• vinyl top
• rear defroster
• power antenna
• cornering lights 

Everything operates as new on this car with the exception of the power antenna which is stuck in the up position.  She cruises down the interstate at illegal speeds as if riding on a cloud.  Brand new Hankook radial whitewall tires have brought a like new ride to this Oldsmobile.  a new battery and crank positioning sensor installed in past three months. 

I have a folder full of receipts going back to 1989 on this car.  In the past 5,000 miles the previous owner had the following serviced: 

• brakes
• new radiator
• new alternator
• A/C serviced with R12
• new headliner,

The original Light Antelope paint has been shined up to a brilliant luster and the matching top is in like new condition.  Leather is soft and clean.  No tears or cracks.  Truly a rust free car.

Purchase includes 2 sets of keys and all books and paperwork shown comes with the car.   One of the nicest examples I've ever seen...and I'm picky.  

Low starting bid, low reserve, and even a buy it now option.  Arrange your shipping or come in and drive home.  Located just north of Atlanta.  Other than a thoughtful new caretaker, this car needs nothing I can think of.  Be the envy of the bridge club and arrive in Oldsmobile luxury!

 

 

Finally folks, and I hate to do this, if you have negative feedback or less than 5 feedbacks or are from outside the USA, I reserve the right to cancel  your bid.  If you have one of these conditions, please contact me with details and we can figure out whether you can play or not.  No offense, just the way these things work.
