The Cutlass Supreme was Oldsmobile's crack at the personal luxury car segment. It ran over five generations between 1966 and 1997 and morphed into a regular mid-size car. Of course, mid-size was all relative in America, where everything's larger than life. This 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham hails from the fourth generation of the nameplate. With just 22,000 miles, it's a fine example of a time when land yachts ruled American roads.
Did you ever think that a mid-size car would be 200 inches, and yet, a two-door? That's precisely why vehicles such as this 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham are called land yachts. This land yacht wears a baby blue paintwork with a white hard top. It rolls on a set of steel blue dished alloy wheels and features ample Oldsmobile badging. Quad headlamps up front and slim taillamps at the rear are all Eighties luxury hallmarks. The dark blue interior of this 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham looks in excellent condition for its age. The seats could be mistaken for plush sofas from an upmarket furniture manufacturer, with their buttoned design and ample cushioning. You'll also find air conditioning, a radio cassette stereo, a cigarette lighter, power windows, power mirrors, cruise control, and adjustable instrument panel lighting. A column-mounted shifter performs gear selection, and there's plenty of wood trim on the dash and doors. The trunk carpeting appears to be in decent nick, save a little dusty. We can also spot the spare wheel nestled neatly to one side.
If you're thinking of burning rubber and cutting apexes in this 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham, you'd better banish those thoughts right now. Those plush seats are for lounging as you steer this land yacht down the road. This car's got a 5.0-liter variant of the Oldsmobile 'Rocket' series V8 rated for 140hp and 250lb-ft. Curiously, it features a four-barrel carburetor. Drive goes to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. Cruising is this car's specialty, as you use its low and mid-range torque to glide along the roads with nary a whimper from the tires.
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.
Named after a fighter jet which in turn was named after a sword, the Cutlass in Oldsmobile speak was a series of cars that was made between 1961 and 1999. It started off as a compact for just two short years before spending the meat of its life in the midsize segment. It also flirted with the Personal Luxury Car segment between 1968 and 1988. Today’s 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible hails from the third generation which was available as a coupe, sedan, hardtop, station wagon and convertible. It’s got the famous Rocket V8 under the hood, and has covered 93,000 miles so far. Now, it rests peacefully in Wellington, Florida, waiting for a new owner to pick it up and care for it. Is that you, then?
Yes, the Oldsmobile Cutlass is named after the sword of the same name. But, it’s also named after the Vought F7U Cutlass fighter jet. What a combination of inspirations for a car from a now-defunct brand. Over its production, the Cutlass would compete in the compact, midsize and personal luxury car segments. That’s quite broad for a single nameplate. Today’s 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass is a third-generation car that hails from Belcourt, North Dakota. We’re told that it has been upgraded with a Rocket 455 engine, making it a real sleeper for those who don’t expect such an old-timey car to be so sprightly. So why not buy it and make it your weekend toy?
Oldsmobile is yet another one of those American automakers who is, sadly, no more. Our country’s storied automotive history is littered with such manufacturers who gave us some truly spectacular machines; yet time and economics were unkind to them. But have you heard of the Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds range? You see, in 1968, Oldsmobile collaborated with renowned aftermarket tuning firm Hurst Performance to create a special line-up of sporty cars. They started with the Cutlass. By 1983, it was time to celebrate 15 years of this amazing partnership, and a line-up of special 15th Anniversary Edition Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds were made. This 1983 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds 15th Anniversary Edition is one of just 3,001 units made, and comes to you with 14,152 miles. Currently residing in Hiawatha, Iowa, this car packs the iconic Rocket V8 and Lightning Rod transmission combo.
