True to its name, this Oldsmobile has definitely aged, being a car from 1966 and having rolled out of the factory nearly 60 years ago. But in this case, the aging has been graceful, and the 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 is anything but boring. This all-American classic won the hearts of motorists in its time and is still beloved as one of the best-balanced muscle cars that were ever made on American soil. Much like the blade its name bears, the Cutlass is bold and distinct and while some would consider it crude and brutal, is an effective tool that leaves a lot of power in the wielder’s hand. This American icon has been breathed new life and features a couple of enhancements both visually and in performance. With 13,225 miles reported, this is a car that makes a statement and is ready to continue doing so for many more miles to come.
With new sheet metal and a wider track compared to its previous model, the Oldsmobile Cutlass’ appeal is derived from its striking front grille, distinct taillamps, and retro styling. Much like the muscle cars of its time, this 1966 Cutlass too is square, large, bold, and unapologetic in its nature. The black exterior adds brief touches of flair thanks to its red vertical stripe on the side. The hood has twin 650cfm Edelbrock carburetors sticking out and shiny chrome all work together to ensure that this Oldsmobile’s visual appeal has aged well, like fine wine. Stepping inside, you’ll find yourself in a comfortable black interior that has plush seats and a retro aesthetic that has been well preserved. However, a few modern additions are apparent, from the modern gauges that monitor the engine’s vitals, to the pistol grip shifter.
This particular 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 prioritizes performance over beauty, which is true to the aesthetics of American muscle. Instead of the usual 400ci V8, this particular car has a larger 540ci Merlin III V8 engine strapped to the front with the twin Edelbrock carburettors sticking out, delivering the air-fuel mix to the machine. With such a power plant at the front, this machine delivers its enhanced power to the rear wheels using a manual, non-synchronized Jerrico drag race transmission, controlled by a Ford 9-inch rear end and a Detroit locker spinning 3.50 diff, making this Cutlass a quarter-mile eating performance monster at your disposal, should you claim her for yourself.
One might think that the Oldsmobile Cutlass was named after the sword of the same name that was popular with sailors and pirates. Interestingly, that’s partially true; the sword was inspiration for the name, as was the Vought F7U Cutlass fighter jet. Initially, the Cutlass name was applied to the top trim level of the Oldsmobile 4-4-2. Then, variants started to spin off. One of these was the Cutlass Supreme in 1966. Representing the top of the Cutlass hierarchy, the Supreme sported different body styling as well. Today, we’ve got a second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme for sale from Los Angeles, California. With just over 68,000 miles on the clock, this car is a great classic for a seasoned collector, or a budding enthusiast looking to dip their toes into the classic car seas. Let us tell you more about this car.
Oldsmobile is a brand that the current generation won’t know much about because it was defunct by 2004. A division of General Motors, the company itself dates back to 1987, which tells you that it’s pretty historically significant towards American automotive culture as a whole. In the ʼ60s and ʼ70s, Oldsmobile was right up there with the rest, making muscle cars, personal luxury cars, full-size cars and everything else that Americans wanted, save for SUVs and pickup trucks. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme for sale from Saint Paul, Indiana. The Cutlass represented the brand’s compact car for a brief period before switching to the midsize segment in 1963, where it remained for several generations. So, this car is a great way to teach your kids some automotive history, as well as give them something that is not only a lovely car to cherish, but also a smart investment for the future.
With a swashbuckling, buccaneering name like Cutlass, you might be led to believe that the Oldsmobile Cutlass was a full-size land yacht. However, it actually started life in 1961 as a compact, before becoming a midsize, personal luxury car in 1968. Yes, it’s named after the sword of the same name, but also draws nomenclature from an aircraft of the time, the Vought F7U Cutlass. Six generations of Cutlass were made, and Oldsmobile also started using Cutlass as a sub-brand in 1982. Sadly, neither Oldsmobile nor Cutlass are around today, which makes this third-generation, 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme all the more valuable as a classic American automobile. This car comes with all maintenance reportedly up to date as well, making it a great future investment.

Oldsmobile was one of General Motors’ well-known brands, until it was retired in 2004. One of the brand’s most prolific models was the 88 full-size car. Produced across ten generations from 1949 to 1999. In 1957, the third generation debuted, and had a few variants. One of these was the Rocket, which represented the base model. Moving up, one could find the Dynamic 88 and Super 88, but exterior badging on these variants was limited to merely ‘88’. Today, we’ve got a meticulously-restored 1957 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 for sale in Whittier, California. The car comes with a rebuilt engine and gearbox that have reportedly got under 1,000 miles on them.
Mazda is perhaps the only mass market auto manufacturer that has dabbled with the rotary engine for a few decades, and sold significant numbers of rotary-engined cars. Their legendary RX-7 is firmly cemented in enthusiast and tuner history as one of the greats. The RX-8 that followed was a bit more mellow, but added some family friendliness to the package while retaining that smooth, high-revving rotary motor. Apart from these models, there were a few others in history. One of these was the RX-3, which was offered between 1971 and 1978. This was the rotary-engined variant of the Mazda Grand Familia compact car, Mazda’s answer to Toyota’s fearsome Corolla and the Sunny from Nissan. Today, finding a Grand Familia is hard to say the least, much less its rarer rotary-engined variant, but we’ve got one right here. If you want a Japanese curio to grace your garage, this 1975 Mazda RX-3 awaits in Zephyrhills, Florida. It’s got an original 36,000 miles too.
Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
Shown to the world in 1968, the Series 1 Jaguar XJ is famous for being the last Jaguar to have been designed under the leadership of Sir William Lyons, the man who founded Jaguar Cars of Britain. The XJ is also well-known for retaining much of its classic styling cues for over four decades, offering a refreshingly different choice to luxury car buyers who didn’t feel like going for the popular German choices. Today, we’ve got a way for you to sample a modern classic XJ, in the shape of this Series 3 1987 Jaguar XJ6 from Cooper City, Florida. The car has traveled 84,000 miles which shows that it’s been enjoyed, but with continued maintenance, can keep on going and going. That’s why you should seriously consider taking it on, as it’s a classic that you can daily drive and even use for family transport requirements.
