The answers above are good. Another possibility is a broken steel belt in one of your tires. That will make your tire out-of-round and cause vibration.

sounds like wheel balance
It could be:



Brakes malfunction

Wheel alignment/balancing

CV joint gone bad



Check out those things. On a car that old, things are going to start to deteriorate. My guess would be the wheel alignment as the primary culprit.
did you check the transmission mount?
