Overview of 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible For Sale by Owner

An interesting name for a car – Cutlass. Yes, that’s what Oldsmobile called their compact car offering between 1961 and 1999. In 1964, the Cutlass graduated to the midsize segment, and also dabbled around as a personal luxury car between 1968 and 1988. That’s what we’ve got here, a third-generation 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible from San Antonio, Texas. The third generation saw some major changes, including fresh and more dynamic styling by Stan Wilen, different wheelbases for two and four-door variants, and some nice V8 power. The Cutlass S was the midrange trim, bookended by the F-85 beneath and the Supreme above. Today, this car is a fine way to relive the glorious Sixties of American automobilia, and do so with a machine from a celebrated brand that’s sadly, no more.

Exterior and Interior

This 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible wears a nice coat of blue paint, but what will really strike you is its interesting frontal design. The angular, jutting-out nose section is framed by triple headlamp clusters that see the parking lamps in the center, flanked by circular headlamps on either side. It sure makes for an interesting face to look at. The rest of the car is pretty standard Sixties stuff, with a long body, considerable overhangs and chrome. Plenty of chrome. At the rear, things taper downwards into a very sleekly terminated tail, with a sizable chrome bumper and slimline taillamps. This car also has some nice alloy wheels. The interior of this 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible is accessed via frameless doors that are very cool, and offers leather upholstered seating for up to four adults. You’ve got a full gauge pack, a thin-rimmed steering wheel and an Oldsmobile-branded push-button radio. A closer look at this radio reveals it to be quite sophisticated for the time, allowing you to adjust the front-rear speaker balance (what we call the fader today), as well as various modes to optimize sound output depending on content – think like equalizer presets. We also see a Vintage Air heating and air conditioning control panel, indicating that this car is equipped as such. A peek under the hood confirms this, with a clearly visible air conditioning compressor.

Engine

This 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible is reported to pack a 350ci V8. We aren’t told if it’s a 2-barrel or 4-barrel carbureted version, but either way there’s more than enough grunt on tap. Power goes to the rear wheels via an automatic gearbox.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
