Question for Eminem fans and car buffs

[Pigasus]

The car driven by Eminem in "8 Mile" is an Oldsmobile Delta 88.

Can anyone identify the year?

Late 70's or extremely early 80's model, I do believe.

I know. That's why I am asking you guys.

Somebody on another board guessed 1976, I just wanted to see whether anyone would agree or disagree with that.

Very cool car, I wouldn't mind having one.

At least this thread didn't attract a bunch of anti-Eminem bozos.

I posted this question on another forum and promptly got flamed for being an Eminem-lover. Sheesh. I don't like Eminem. I just want his car.
