Yeah, that is strange. Power windows, if my memory is right, had become standard in pretty much all Oldsmobile products by then. Of course, if it was special-built for her, and she didn't want them.............

You could actually spec those ugly things with crank windows? Unbelievable. That's a car I'd least like to own, next to a Lada.

he has more class so wouldn't own it.

He might have driven something pseudo classy like a LeBaron convertible (Seinfeld).

I wonder if the cars computer has been re-flashed?

Has to be Jon Voight, not John Voight.

pretty sure Bill stopped hitting that well before 1996, he was into his interns by then.


*edit, sorry thought the article said it was a 1996, I see it was a 1986. . however as I recall Bill was into is sexcapades while he was Governor of AR. so yeah pretty sure he had stopped hitting that back then. Chelsea was born in 1980.

clinton had her own custom ecu in the car which was wiped when she sold it.

In other news... former President Bill Clinton, who has been having a rough ride from the Democratic Party base, insists he has never had any type of relationship with a Chevrolet Lumina or a Pontiac Bonneville.

Clinton, in an exclusive interview with Another Other News Organization proclaims his innocence, "I did not and have never stuck my ignition key in any car other than Olds or Caddy".

Good one! ROFL!

And now sources from the Fake Auto Press are questioning if the former President would have been able to find the exact location of any type of domestic vehicle.

In fact there are some problems with this because as some sources say, Toyota and Lexus vehicles like to light up the ignition switch where you stick your key in. It doesn't matter what the weather is, you'll get the key and start.

I brought up the no power windows with the Brougham package thing to a Oldsmobile fanatic at my work today, and all I got was a wild and mind-numbing history of every model he and his family had ever owned over his lifetime. Finally after 30 minutes of nodding my head yes and tuning out, he said he thought it was strange. =)

I was thinking the same thing. No V6 option either. GM 4 cylinders of that era were notoriously loud, vibration prone pieces of junk.

I had a 3.8L V6 in my step-mother's '86 Ciera and it was really quick for an "old ladies'" car. It was a beautiful bronze with the Brougham package, and it looked brand new. The trouble it had was that it wasn't driven enough and in ten years it was rotting away. Every belt, hose, tire - anything rubber - disintegrated, then the AC began to fall apart, then the transmission. When I picked up her new Honda, I had ONE speed (second) left in the automatic transmission when I drove it onto the lot. Good riddance.
