A Note on ALL Project GEZROKET Posts

As I'm making plans and working on upgrading the GEZROKET, I've decided to move the posts documenting what I'm doing/have done to the car to its own Blog.  I've moved the existing posts to GEZROKET.blogspot.com and hope to get on with regular posts about turning the car into a modern Grand Touring Car.

It shouldn't be too hard, as Oldsmobile made it's own "Touring Sedan" models from the late 1980s into 1993 on both its Eighty-Eight and Ninety-Eight cars and chassis. These had the excellent FE3 Suspension, with higher rate coil springs on all 4 corners and larger diameter front and rear anti-sway bars.

Here's a 1991 Motorweek episode featuring the sister car to my Ninety-Eight Regency Elite, a 1991 Oldsmobile Touring Sedan.

Mine, being a Regency Elite II, luxury sedan is a little different.  First, it's White, with the Regency Elite Chrome Grille.  Second, it has an Adriatic Blue Leather Bench Seat Interior with a Digital Dash Cluster.   Finally, it came with 15" Alloy Wheels and the Comfort Ride FE1 suspension.

In its "As Purchased Condition,"  the GEZROKET, a 1996 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight with 15" Factory Alloy Wheels.  The rear spoiler looks to be from an Olds Toronado Troféo Sport Coupe.  Mrs Blaney had her son, R. Blaney, install it on the car.

So join me over at http://gezroket.blogspot.com/ as I continue the journey to make this big luxury car a pleasure to drive.
