The Oldsmobile Cutlass was a range of automobiles produced by General Motors' Oldsmobile division between 1961 and 1999. At its introduction, the Cutlass was Oldsmobile's entry-level model; it began as a unibody compact car, but saw its greatest success as a body-on-frame intermediate.
Introduced as the top trim level in Oldsmobile's compact F-85 line, the Cutlass evolved into a distinct series of its own, spawning numerous variants, including the formidable 4-4-2 muscle car in 1964, premium Cutlass Supreme in 1966, and outright performance Hurst/Olds in 1968, as well as the Vista Cruiser station wagon.
By the 1980s, Oldsmobile was using the Cutlass as a sub-marque, with numerous vehicle lines bearing the name simultaneously. These included the Cutlass Calais compact, the midsize Cutlass Ciera, the Cutlass Cruiser station wagon, and top of the line midsize Cutlass Supreme.
The Cutlass was named after the type of sword, which was common during the Age of Sail.
The new intermediate F-85 now rode a conventional body-on-frame chassis with a perimeter frame which it shared with the newly-introduced "A-body" Chevrolet Chevelle, and upgraded Buick Special and Pontiac Tempest. Wheelbase grew to 115 inches (2,900 mm), overall length to 203 inches (5,200 mm), and weight by more than 300 pounds (140 kg). Both the aluminum V8 and the Roto Hydramatic were discontinued in favor of a new cast-iron small-block V8 of 330 cu in (5.4 L) displacement and an optional two-speed Jetaway automatic transmission with variable-pitch stator. Buick's 225 cu in (3.7 L) V6 was the standard engine.
The body styles of the previous model returned, and a new Vista Cruiser, a stretched-wheelbase (120 inches (3,000 mm)) version of the standard station wagon featuring a raised rear roof with tinted skylights and a fold-down, forward-facing third seat, debuted on February 4, 1964. The 4-4-2 model, derived from the BO-9 police package, was also introduced in March 1964 (costing $285.14 in 1964),[6] as an answer to the new intermediate muscle car market created by the Pontiac GTO that same year.
Sales increased to 167,002 for 1964, not counting Vista Cruisers.
Oldsmobile first used the Cutlass name on an experimental sports coupe designed in 1954. It rode a 110 in (2,800 mm) wheelbase, and featured a dramatic boat-tailed fastback roofline and stock V8. Its platform was similar to the compact F-85 introduced seven years later.
For model years 1939 and 1940, Oldsmobile introduced the Oldsmobile Series 60 and Oldsmobile Series 70 which shared the GM A platform and GM B platform with Chevrolet and Pontiac models. The Series 60 was discontinued in 1948, while the Series 70 was cancelled in 1950. The division then offered multiple models using the Oldsmobile Series 80 and Oldsmobile Series 90 platforms during the 1950s. When the division decided to revisit offering a smaller platform again, they didn't return to the traditional naming convention of reintroducing the Series 70 and instead offered the new compact as the F-85, inspired by the North American F-86 Sabre fighter jet, and beginning a new tradition of using fighter jet names for their products, and taking advantage of the "rocket" marketing strategy started with the Rocket V8 engine. The United States Air Force did previously produce a research fighter jet called the McDonnell XF-85 Goblin but it wasn't placed into production.

It was bought brand new as a family car. After five years, the eldest son gets the beat-up old Olds (?) while dad gets a new ride. As a viewer, I like to see videos of you making show models and beat-up cars, it's all good. As long as you keep having fun doing what you're doing, we'll be here to watch. Thanks for all your efforts Chris.
Thanks for sharing!
Car dealers in my area had a outdoor new car show in 1964. I was 13 years old and my Mom and Dad stopped to see the new models. This Cut less convet. done in black with white interior was there. I tried so hard to get Mom n Dad to buy THIS instead of the station wagon, but just couldn't get the job done! Thanks for those memories! I going to buy this kit and build that black Cut less. Thank you for this video.
Enjoy!
Smashing good job Chris. I'm glad that Round 2 and other companies such as Atlantis are bringing back the vintage kits. As the old saying goes,
"What's Old Is New Again"
Thank you!
Looks great brother, you absolutely crushed it on the details and crusting it up but it's still a driver. I love using the hvac metal tape for details, it's way to thick fine details but it is absolutely perfect for making damaged trim and for interior floors pans in stock cars, nascars, drag cars. Thank you for sharing your builds and keep em coming. Everyone keep yourself and love ones safe and healthy and remember to smile it's suppose to be FUN
Thaks Teddy, keep having fun!
Brings back modeling memories your's looks great the 60 s returns hopefully they will bring back more of these type kit's the way older modlers remember them.
Thank you!
I built this kit back in '68. I cut off the windshield, and used the one seat cover. I used bigger rear tires, and some other custom stuff. Very cool.
Very cool!
Looks like she came off the salvage yards showroom floor. LOL! Love it Chris!
Thanks 👍
Showing the paint line up before hitting the spray booth is a nice touch. Leaves nothing to be questioned. I like it! Please keep that in on future builds. Keep building them, we'll keep watch, thanks for the vids.
Noted!
Instablaster...
I love your mantra of “build it your way & be happy”!
Thank you! Keep having FUN!
Nice review, build and vid Chris!! 😉
It's always fun to weather the older cars....... 👍👍👍
I totally agree!
Gotta love Oldsmobiles. I had one years ago. That car was a huge land cruiser.
Thank you!
I dont know how. But I was literally halfway thru putting together this exact kit. With the same idea of having it be kind of a beater. Something you'd see parked at a swap meet. Than I just happened to find your video doing the exact same thing. But much much better. Really great kit. I took some steel rims from another kit to make it look as if it lost its hub caps. Still a way to go. But a great kit. Great video. Stay rad!
I had that kit way back in the 60's. Now I can get another one or two. Nice work on yours Chris. Weathering is always fun & accidents seem to make them better. Have a happy Easter.
Thank you you too!
Happy accidents happen a lot in modelling as I’ve found out great build Chris
Thank you!
My buddy had that same car you got it almost the same . We had 2 great summers in 79 80 till it gave up on us lol. what a great time to be a 16 year old.
Thank you!
Fantastic aging and weathering tutorial, I really enjoyed this!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
WISH EVERYONE A VERY SAFE AND HAPPY EASTER
Thank you!
Yes! Annuals were all the rage in the 60's! Perfect for the majority of junior builders of the day - wish we dould see more from the "blast from the past!" Who has old Johan molds - if they exist at all??? Cadillacs, Chrysler New Yorkers +++ '66 Fire Rescue Ambulance - '68 AMC Javelin SST +++ '70 AMC Rebel "The Machine === Oh Yeah!
Thanks Kevin!
Just got out of the hospital, have 3 kits to put together... love your channel
Thank you! Have fun and get well!
I ended up with a crackled hood when I shot my clear. Only the hood for some reason. I want a clean look so I stripped it. Nice work there sir.
A car of my born year!! I loved the weathering!! That sort of ''cracklet'' on the hood was greatly done!! Love this video!!!
Yes the happy accident looks great Chris thanks for sharing the build happy Easter
Thank you!
Nice job I love the dry brushing to dull the paint Kevin Arnold from the wonder years would be proud!
Wow, thanks!
Kevin "AMOLD"? He mispelled the name on the locket!!
Hahahahahaha
The hood is definitely what sets it off. You probably couldn't duplicate it again if you tried a 100 times. Great build. Keep em coming, really love the weathered builds.
Thanks, yeah, if I figure it out I want it to crackle an entire car on the top some time.
I had a ‘64 Cutlass hardtop that was that same color. I just recently got the original issue of the hardtop version. I’m going to have fun building that old kit.
If you look at the taillights very closely, you’ll be able to see the mold ridges on them, for the stock trim in the taillights. That rocker trim wouldn’t rust like you build the model, the body will rust out like crazy, but that rocker trim won’t rust. It’s made of aluminum. Other than that, you’re spot on, on the build, that I could tell. On the hood, you don’t need to be there. The firewall will hold up the rear of the hood.
Love the happy accident of the hood. Always amazed by how the weathering you do, ends up looking so good.
Thanks Mary!
That hood looks awesome. I had a 1963 Galaxie four door (real car) and the hood and deck lid did the same thing.
Thanks!
Next beat up car you do,you should do only one side kinda like Christine! New on one side ....kool
Yeah, maybe some day!
I have a special request,,,build a second one as the racing version,,it looks really cool on the box,and I'm sure other modelers would like to see your build of it
I think you should build the kit like that and show it off on the hpiguys Workshop Facebook page, would be cool!
@@hpiguy I have built it and painted it with a true Winfield fade of white and green trouble is I don't face book sooo c'mon man you do it, you know you want too
I still have an original mint in the box unbuilt F85 hardtop. One of these days...
Thank you Chris. I really enjoyed this video.
My pleasure!
VERY good video. I love patina builds like this, and I'm one of the folks looking for this model. Mine will get the race treatment, this video is great for giving me ideas for how to do my own.
Thank you!
Your kits always seem to come together very quickly and always look fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like them!
The “happy accident hood” adds a really great touch!
Thank you! I agree!
Looks great! I love watching your weathered model vids, I just watched the red El Camino one ealier, beautiful work!
Beautiful job on the olds the weathering looks amazing great build 👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Those Chuck Farley decals were hilarious especially if you swap the first letters l
Great built, Chris. You are talented, I bought some work trucks from your videos now going over some semi tractors, never did semis looking forward to building, thanks again
Thanks 👍
I just ordered mine. I’m going to convert mine into a custom 2 door Vista Cruiser.
Enjoy!
Thank You. Will Do.
Good job 👍 the paint was probably already dry that's why it cracked happened to me before so I had to re-do it but worked out for you.
Good to know!
@@hpiguy yeah the same happened with the flat clear, at least I know what not to do if i don't want it
Looks like what Motor Trend Classic used to call a "tired runner". The kit of itself reminds me of AMT's '64 Impala; simple to build but lots of customising options which always makes them interesting. One disappointment is there is no up top for the convertible, but this is a kit I'll definitely look out for, and I'm feeling the urge to do a weathered version of one of the older cars in my collection.
Thanks!
Very cool ! I absolutely love the weathering / junkyard themed models because *everyone* & their mom does them up show room quality usually (including myself, not judging). Looking forward to you doing an old 70's or 80's junker 4x4 truck with dents, mismatched & rusted parts eventually! Found your channel through a Bandai model review & those kits are absolutely phenomenal for being snap together.
Thank you!
Gotta Say "It Looks The Part" Chris. Thanks For Sharing n Have a Blessed Easter Wknd Brother.
Thanks, you too!
You're Very Welcome n T Y Back
MAN I JUST LOVE YOUR CHANNEL YOU MAKE IT FUN, AND THAT'S WHAT'S ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN GREAT JOB!!!👍🇺🇸
Thanks 👍 Right on!
Awesome weathering job
Thank you! Cheers!
Now it looks like a barn find
I like it!
Thank you!
I just got my ‘64 Cutlass and it to has the cardboard to support the windshield.
Great job again Chris, thanks for posting !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again!
Hoping the upcoming hardtop kit this summer is an accurate 4-4-2- with a 4-barrel and the 4-gear transmission..
Most GM vinyl was bulletproof, you see more split seams than tears in the surface..
Nice job... I've seen a few in that shape.
Thank you!
Question. Do you have a video where you illustrate how to make faux cracks in windshield? I thought about trying to use model glue rubbed between fingers to get spider web like effect. Figured you had a better idea. I’m doing the hardtop version of this model to duplicate my exact real life car.
Really enjoyed video. New sub!!
I like that!! I've been using permanent markers for a while now! You've figured out my secret! LOL!
Thanks for watching!
Truly nice work Chris. I'm fond of your weathering builds
Glad you like them!
@@hpiguy how could anyone not
Great job again Chris car could pass for Kolchak The Night Stalker ride😇😇😇😇😇
Good call!
Why did you stop showing what paint you are spraying?
LOL, I showed it in this video and every video.
very nicely done, i love it
Thank you! Cheers!
Great review and build. I wasn't all that interested in this kit, but now that I seen your vid I'm leaning hard towards getting one now. Thanks for the review.
Agree, I can say that for many of his builds. His enthusiasm sells it.
Thanks Skip!
If I were to build a kit today I'd make it stock new but it would probably look like your's intended to look old.
Yes ! A new video from you ! 👍😊 I haven't watched yet but i'm sure to have a good time 😉
Hope you enjoyed it!
Another great video! I really enjoy watching how you weather them up. It's an art form. I keep wanting to try it but I'm afraid to make a new kit look old! I think you've given me inspiration to give it a shot!
He inspired me to give it a try, and it was a blast! I still prefer to do showroom stock, but it’s a great “change of pace” to weather one every once in awhile.
Thank you! Have fun!
That hood look great Chris that was a happy accident you do a great job of weathering your vehicles but you do have a lot of inspiration living in Wisconsin 👍👍
Ha, yeah, I hike 6 miles a day and see all kinds of stuff!
Fantastic job. I'm a '64 Olds guy, but all big 88's
so upset, just ruined my candle apple blue paintjob on the Ford starliner I built. Tried using this "Quick Shine" floor finish product.
DO NOT USe this!!
Thanks!
Bummer about the paint!
Cool video
Like from Kazahstan 🇰🇿👍👍👍👍💪💥
Thanks 👍
Say hi to Borat! LOL
@@hpiguy 😂👍👍👍
Great build once again Chris
Thanks again!
Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing. Rick 🤓✌️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice build Chris
Thank you!
Love that hood
Thank you!
that car remind me from the movie dodgeball :true underdog story
Thanks!
Awesome job as usual love listening to the back story
Thanks for listening!
How DARE you, Chris?! You went rogue and built that how you wanted to build it, and you seem quite proud of it, even talking about it. Nicely done. Can’t wait til they’re out. Methinks that the chassis from the Revell ‘65 Chevelle may fit under that with little fuss. Keep them coming.
LOL, thanks man, I do it for the fun!
Junkyard car cool 💪😎👍
Oh yea! 👍👍
Thank you!
Funny how the custom is basically the Fireball 500 Dodge show car lol
Nice!
Your work is just awesome. Each kit you review has turned out to be just as you say. My olds will be a resto mod. But that’s just me. Love how yours turned out. A blessed happy Easter to all.
Awesome, thank you! I'll be doing the Hardtop version this Summer and hope to do it as a sorta new car, not roached at all.
Looks nice, you should do a full video on your model cars that you have build
Thanks!
Gee I don't know Chris...no one seems to have this in stock. All vendors list it as "Future Release..."
LOL
do you have a 55 gallon drum of testors silver hidden in your magical workshop? another killer build
Heck yes!
You'd be surprised how long a bottle lasts. Months for all the builds I do.
Dang. You ARE talented. And I'm glad you share...
Thanks man!
Looks great! Love how you just try stuff and have fun with the builds, thats how it should be, no stress.
Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks so much!
That 45 minutes you saved with that dash decal you can use building that resin Dodge. Lol.
20 kits of 45 minutes saving each and I'll have the time I need. :)
@@hpiguy Yeah, something like that. I’m just giving you a hard time. Lol.
You Sir are an artist with mad skills!!! Fantastic job and love the stills at the end of the video!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Chris, I really envy your steady hand when detail painting the chassis! If my brush doesn't slip or a stray bristle betray me, my hand does it's own thing and sends the paint elsewhere! LOL!! I've been waiting for you to get to this kit since it's announcement ! Beautiful build my friend!
If you slip, just make it into a rust spot or other defect. :)
Enjoy!
Nice buddy, yeah man I been wanting some old “Olds” kits! I f dig that F85! Good deal buddy!
Right on!
@@hpiguy - 🤘✌🏻🍻🍺
good ol testors silver
Right!
Great build once again Chris.
How do you clean your paintbrushes?
Soak in Simple Green over night.
Way cool,😱😁😁❤❤😎😎😎👍👍👍
Thank you!
Excellent mate, looks very authentic, glad to see this kit back.
Many thanks Gary and Happy Easter to you and Mum!
Hello, I really love the channel, I built many models as a kid. I would like to ask a question. I was wondering if I could sponsor a build on your channel. I just helped my father purchase a 1968 RS/SS 396 Camaro that just finished a complete restoration. This is the car he purchased not long after he returned from Vietnam and met my mother. Of course, after myself and my sister came along the Camaro had to go in exchange for a family car. I heard about this car my entire life along with looking at the pictures, and now he will have it back. A lot of these old men put replica models of there car on the air cleaner for display at car shows. I think it would be amazing if he could watch you build his car on TH-cam and then display it this summer at the local events. I apologize in advance for putting a request like this in public comments but I don't know how to send a private message through TH-cam. If this is something you are interested in let me know how to contact you to work out the details on payment, I am willing to make this worth your time. I also can send a video of the entire car.
Thanks
Shawn
Thanks for watching, I do not work on commission builds to send to people. Thanks for asking!
Lovely kit and an awesome build as always
Thank you kindly!
excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Have you ever tried to heat a fender or door to make some minor body damage ?
Yup, done in at least a half dozen or so. Works pretty well.
@@hpiguy thanks for the reply.
Apparently this kit still isn't available yet... Anxiously awaiting for its release
The car have a brand new windshield! step 1 of the restauration is completed!
Having driven an old rusted vehicle back in the day, my windows were always clean so I could see, I needed to drive it to work, etc.
So I like doing my models that way a lot. but sometimes I'll put a crack in it or grime.
Thanks man!
Awsome build
Thank you!
Wait how did you get that crackle affect on the hood like did you let the yellow paint dry then spray the blue or did you not let the yellow dry?
I'm gonna say that the yellow was still wet, when he sprayed the blue over it.
I'm not really sure, that's why it's an accident. Both paint layers reacted poorly when laid down and cracked all over.
Normally I'd strip it and try again but this time I left it and it looked cool.
I want to build mine as the full custom except my kit is missing the ENTIRE ENGINE SPRUE.😟
Only engine parts included are the twin chrome Judson Supercharger plenums.
It did come with two interior sprues though.
Emailed AMT to see if they can send me the missing parts.
Then again, I may check and see if the AMT 67 Chevelle Pro Street tubbed chassis/driveline will fit under the custom body.😁
This Kit was offered as a drag racer at one time.
Awesome job Chris!👍🤟 definitely can not wait now when the hardtop version comes out!!
You and me both!
most rustolium paints say 48 you hr dry time sure don't wait that long
@Randall Johnson whatntemp
If you follow the FB page you'll see that stuff answered and more.
Anything below 120 degrees is fine.
Awesome build. How many hours did it take you to build this. Not counting waiting waiting for paint to dry.
I spend about 8-9 hours total on a car model. Fast, simple, fun reviews.
Great review and build thanks.looking forward to adding this one to my collection.peace
Thanks for watching!
Excellent how-to on weathering. I was hoping you'd build the racing version because it looks so wild. I'll have to do it myself :)
Thanks for watching!
