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.
Inspection
The 1983 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency Sedan represents a time when American luxury meant space, comfort, and effortless cruising. Showing 82,713 miles, this example presents as a well-preserved classic that captures the essence of Oldsmobile’s flagship offering. Finished in Medium Blue Metallic and equipped with the Regency trim, it delivers the kind of plush ride and upscale feel that made these cars so popular in their day. With features like a pillowy interior, smooth V8 power, and added undercoating for preservation, this Ninety-Eight stands as a nostalgic yet highly usable cruiser that continues to embody traditional American luxury.
