@Something Something Dark Side he bought it brand new in 69 with his gm employee discount. It had 140k miles. Most vehicles of that era only lasted about 100k. Hell my 79 firebird died with 138k. And before you think I was abusing the shit out of it you should know it was a 301 2 barrel. 125hp brand new.
@@DudesWithWrenches Toronado drivetrains with the 455 were used in GMC Motorcoaches or RVs in the mid to late 70s. Toros were also the first Front drive big car introduced in 1965 for 1966 model year, one full year ahead of Cadillac.
Exactly I believe like many other cars. It was a great idea and could have been perfected. Oldsmobile designed and built the whole FWD setup. Then GM said good job green light. But you have to use body lines from the buick. Overshadowing how cool and different it was being FWD. Instead of its own design and the second they broke free of that ... Bam eldorado If oldsmobile would have been allowed to stand by themselves they could have been much more loved and remembered for the innovation they created with this one. Oldsmobile took back seat to alot of stuff they should have been in front of
GM/Fisher Colonnade body style, Beautiful! Quality was a little crappy though. Had a '74 and a '77 Supreme with t-tops. Buick Gan Sport is my favorite, would love to have one!
Obviously not the Olds pictured, but the mid-1950s Oldsmobiles had arguably the most beautiful dashboards I have ever seen- with all the polished chrome and bright work.
After seeing 60,000,000 55-57 Chevys I think the other GM cars those models are very beautiful just for the differences. Just too few of them left anymore.
My first was a '61 New Yorker 4 dr sedan; this was in '85 when I wss a sophmore in H.S. The ribbing I took was too much, and sold it FAST!! 💨 One of my most memorable regrets...😔
My dad had a 68 with a 455 that had some balls to it for a big car my dad sold to some guy and about a month later the guy killed himself in it smacked a maple tree at about 140 mph in a police chase
@@ralphharrison6622 I thought that was a Delta 88 it's a cutless my Dad had a 68 delta 88 with the 455 the guy my dad sold it too was crazy as heck he lost control of it on a curve and hit a tree pushed the engine into front seat
I have a 67 Olds 442 that I bought in 1969. It was white with red interior and I had it painted black because I don't like white. Might change it back if I live long enough. My favorite is the 1958 Chevrolet Impala though. Wish that I didn't sell that. Had a 409 w/2 ,4 barrel carbs. No, that wasn't the original engine/transmission.
I have never forgotten Oldsmobile. It is my favorite GM brand. I saw this beauty and the first thing I wanted to do was to own it. Also noticed the much later same model of car sitting next to its left side. It is beige. It also has a Caddy parked next to it on the pass. side.
My grandfather was the "Oldsmobile man." He went up the GM line, although he skipped Chevy. He bought a '67 Pontiac Catalina brand new, with the 389 4bbl. My father remembers him doing donuts in the parking lot with it. He traded up to a new '70 Cadillac Sedan Deville, than later bought a '72 Olds Cutlass Supreme, this time in addition to the Caddy, to be his daily driver, as he wanted something that had more sporty handling. The Cutlass was green with a black vinyl top and black bucket interior. 350 rocket under the hood. From then on he bought Oldsmobiles, 98's and such. But All three were awesome cars, Nowadays I'd most like to have the Pontiac.
@@josephg41 The only reason I remember is I had both a 66 and a 67 GTO, the 400 motor was a much better motor, the 389 had valve guide and seal issues, they liked to burn oil. I had a 63 Catalina convertible with a 421 super duty in it, funny thing is that never had those issues, even though it was pretty much the same as the 389 design.
A pair of cut-offs, a warm Saturday under the tree in the front yard, stereo blastin' out the front door a six-er and a can of Johnson Paste Wax is all it would take....☺️
I had an '84, for three days; it had a blown head gasket, and warped head off the lot; short-lived, but I loved that car. Found out later that a fellow soldier had driven it; it was his grandma's, and he seafoamed it to trade in lolol 😂😂
Back when a 350 V8, meant that Olds, Pontiac, Chevy, and Buick all had their own engine. Wasn't streamlined by one brand like it is now. That was a great era for GM, it gave the company some uniqueness. Well, except for the oldsmobile 350 diesel. But we won't talk about that.
U know they really improved that diesel engine after the first year or two. So after the first ones they were pretty good. My father in law had one in a buick regal,good engine. I think it was a 86 or 87?
@@Mr.wilson949 this is true. I think one of the main problems was pump timing, and not having a water separator. I wondered on and off, if a Detroit diesel would have worked. But when it comes to EPA, and physical dimensions, who knows.
Back in the 60's to mid 70's Olds, Chevy, Pontiac and Buick have their own engineers and designers. They are competing each other because some of their model trim level overlaps each other. Oldsmobile's Cutlass Supreme was a best selling car because it was cheaper than buying a Chevelle and ordering the options to match the Cutlass Supremes' standard features.
@@diegosilang4823 A friend of mine used to be a Pontiac fanatic back when he was alive. He told me of an article that he read, where Pontiac designed the lifter for the Chevy 350, but never gave out the specs to Chevy. This is why the 350 and 4.3 required manual lash adjustment, despite having HLA lifters. Well, chevy got mad, and never gave out the alignment specs for the Polaris ( hence why the first model year, it stated " see corvair "). And then GM, didn't want the smallest engine of one car line, to be bigger than the biggest engine from another car line. So, with the stroke of a pen, the 336 became the 326. And if you do the math, the Pontiac 350 is actually 354 cubic inches. So yeah, I see what you mean when it comes to the competition aspect of things.
Don’t knock that diesel to much, ask the dirt trackers which motor they like, the diesel block from Olds is what a lot of them like, they’re like hen’s teeth to find now, they bought them all up. This particular car didn’t have a 350, they came with a 330, and it had a forged crank, could be made to run pretty good. 350 Olds didn’t debut till 1968.
Bought a new 442 in 1968, best car I ever had to this day, and no one every beat this car in the quarter mile in it's class. Beautiful and dependable auto!
@@olderthanyoucali8512 Absolutely! 68 400, was basically a truck motor, the 455 is in the same boat compared to the 425, but the 455 can be made to run pretty sweet, I’ve had my share of all of them. Had 2 68’s, one a W-30, they were okay, no comparison to the 66 4 speed I had, different animals.
I miss the cars of yester-year. They had personality, solid metal, chrome where it mattered, and really comfortable seats in some models...I wish there was more distinction between the models and brands of cars today
Oldsmobile is my brand! I have 4 currently. But owned/sold another 3. The only things not of the brand are pickups and motorcycles. Sadly another one will be going up for sale shortly.
I am so glad that the 66-67 olds cutlass is getting some attention again. I've grown up with my grandfather's 66 olds 442 and now I own it after he passed away, only fixing what broke on it that he couldn't fix at his age
I drive my oldie every summer, she's put away for winter. It's a 1985 Oldsmobile wagon w/ 305 small block~ nothing to brag about, but also nothing to bat an eye at. That Olive army green exterior with tan interior, swing out rear hatch door and that 2-person bench seat faced out the back window.. And I love it to bits
Honestly a older car I like that's usually cheap is called a marlin rambler. Lot of standard features you don't see on other cars from its time (1965)and it looks great. It's made by amc so after they listened to customers it became the amc rambler. My dream tho is a torino fast back from mid to late 60's
And don’t forget, Ted Kennedy made the Oldsmobile Delmont 88 famous by driving one off a bridge and into the Chappaquiddick. An hour later, Teddy was asleep in his apartment, and Mary Jo Kopechne was still at the bottom of the river.
Cars truly had style back then, unlike the generic road appliances of today. Ransom E Olds pioneered quite many innovative things. Very underrated in my opinion. Unfortunately, the car company bearing his name was killed off by GM’s usual "badge-engineering" antics that directly and ironically contributed to the aforementioned road-appliance situation of today.
My father always talks about his cutlass salon he bought new. He says it was the best car he ever owned. He saved the order sheet he filled out at the dealership when he picked all the options and color packages.
Fun fact: Whether 2-dr. sedan (shown) or 2-dr. hardtop, both had same roofline. Always Iiked those buttressed C-pillars ..... which were shared with Chevelle, Special & Tempest. 😎
I bought a New Oldsmobile 442 in 1967 4-speed, 4:11 Positraction, and the last year of the short stroke 400 cu. In.engine. had no problem with GTO's, Chevelle's or Chrysler corp.cars. payed 3400 dollars out the door.
My Dad purchased a 64 cutlass Hardtop when new and build a screamer, within a year it had the new 1965 425 and muncie 4 speed in it. It never lost a race in ten years. Learned to drive in that car, now I have a 64 and a 65 cutlass! I guess that car left an impression on me 😊
Couple years ago I bought a1968 Cutlass Supreme and I drove home for about an hour and it was a bliss, specially in the freeway, the steering was silky smooth (even smoother than a 65 Mustang) and I can drive with one finger!
I would never in my life leave Oldsmobile out. The cutlass is a staple in my passion for autos. My dads friend had a late dynamic 88 My cousin had 68 442 & and 87 supreme. The 1st car I ever purchased with my own $ was a 1980 limited edition cutlass supreme. Black on black on black
My dad had a 71 Cutlass. I had a 72 Chevelle. One thing they both had in common, when it rained they both leaked along the driver side windshield pillar. His started leaking a few years after mine did.
Greetings from the UK as a younger enthusiast of American cars (if you call 25 young) it's nice to there's still affordable options. Whether I'll actually own one of these old sadans I don't know but hey a guy can dream
One of the first cars my dad bought out of high school was an 81 Cutlass with the ill fated 350 diesel. He has always told me that car would squeal the tires with very little effort, even after he swapped the diesel for a 403
My dad has a 76 cutlass supreme brougham in red with a white vinyl top. Not the fastest car ever but sounds good and is the most comfortable car I’ve ever been in.
I’ve got a 72 W-30 sitting in my shop, bought it brand new in 1972, It’s a Hdtp, wanted the post sedan, but I ordered it late in the model year, they didn’t have any left, post cars were lighter, and stiffer body wise.
Love the Oldsmobiles. Had a couple 65 Cutlass F85's and I know some people that have 67-71 442's and Hurst Olds. But the problem is it's hard to find parts for them.
My first car was a hand me down from my grandfather to my mother then to me, it was a 2 door 86 Olds Cutlass Supreme V8 w/ the better rear gears.... It was a beast and would still spin both wheels but it was a Goddamn boat, it took me a few months to figure out where all my corners were and I had to relearn parallel parking over the year. I have fond memories of driving that car to the local spots w/ friends and we'd lay on the hood and stare at the stars because it was the size of a queen mattress..... The trunk was almost as big and could hold 6 people sneaking in to a drive-in or 16 cases of beer and about 6 gallons of liquor, but my favorite part was probably the back seat because it was a couch sized seats front AND back. I must have had 15 "camping" excursions in that thing w/ ex girlfriends, I have a lot of great memories w/ that car.... I don't recommend it now, maybe a newer van w/ the fold flat seats would be better but for me it was the best thing ever. 😂
My Brother drove a 67 olds , back in the early 80's I loved that car it was so cool I actually got to drive it a little when I was 11 , we lived way out in the county
I toured the engine plant outside of Buffalo New York that made Cadillac and Olds engines together. This production line made blue printed engines. They went 400,000 miles plus.
@@BlackSmokeDemonOG sadly I miss informed you that video was put back in the vault. It may return but right now it is not up . 1981 is cool the last year for the more fast back rear roof. The one we have was my first car in highchool and factory V8
@Dudes With Wrenches that's a shame but Ill keep my eye out 4 it if you do release it. Ya I love my Bu, it hasn't really let me down. Don't really mind it bein a v6 either for a daily. If I want a box chevy w/ a V8 I'll wait till I can buy myself a caprice
I have a 95 Cutlass. She's been my daily for about 10 years now. Very low maintenance, and she has a certain swag that only comes with a 90s grocery getter

Personaly I love the 442 and the Tornado definitely the latter for me. FWD and a Big V8 that sounds like a good time to me!
It had it's own distinct look from the other comparable GM cars. My parents had one in a station wagon and it was a great car.
I own a 84 Olds Cutlass Supreme with the 231 cu in V6 3.8 engine. That engine has taken a beat from me. I love that car and will never get rid of it
I had a 75 Cutlass Supreme. It was worn out but I loved it. First car. Swivel bucket seats.
That is a wonderful magnificent frame of Art donations is always acceptable
My favorite Olds. Love that design.
I have a 67 olds and have had it since 2003. Fantastic thing!
Facts man car to car they are all the same there is no more headlights game or tail lights game
I would never in my life leave Oldsmobile out. The cutlass is a staple in my passion for autos.
My dads friend had a late dynamic 88
My cousin had 68 442 & and 87 supreme.
The 1st car I ever purchased with my own $ was a 1980 limited edition cutlass supreme. Black on black on black
My dad had a 71 Cutlass. I had a 72 Chevelle. One thing they both had in common, when it rained they both leaked along the driver side windshield pillar. His started leaking a few years after mine did.
I owned a 1968 Olds Delta 88 in high school, During the 70s. Was a cool cruiser.
Greetings from the UK as a younger enthusiast of American cars (if you call 25 young) it's nice to there's still affordable options.
Whether I'll actually own one of these old sadans I don't know but hey a guy can dream
Always loved '67-'72 Olds A Body
One of the first cars my dad bought out of high school was an 81 Cutlass with the ill fated 350 diesel. He has always told me that car would squeal the tires with very little effort, even after he swapped the diesel for a 403
My memories as a child include my folks 68 Cutlass Vista Cruiser wagon, and *Carload Nights* at the local skate rink
My dad has a 76 cutlass supreme brougham in red with a white vinyl top. Not the fastest car ever but sounds good and is the most comfortable car I’ve ever been in.
My old man had a 67 442. He would make bets that people couldn't keep their hand on the dash. It also stood up and did a wheely taking off.
Mine was a 72 Cutlass S, 2 door post. Best car I ever had. Miss it to this day.
I’ve got a 72 W-30 sitting in my shop, bought it brand new in 1972, It’s a Hdtp, wanted the post sedan, but I ordered it late in the model year, they didn’t have any left, post cars were lighter, and stiffer body wise.
Love the Oldsmobiles. Had a couple 65 Cutlass F85's and I know some people that have 67-71 442's and Hurst Olds. But the problem is it's hard to find parts for them.
You have no idea, and don’t even think about asking how much, LOL just finished a 5 year frame off on a 72 W-30 I ordered brand new in 1972😢😭
Still loving my '68 Cutlass.
My first set of wheels was a 72 Cutlass Supreme. Beautiful cars
My dad had a 66 442 with the 454 and 4 speed from a Chevelle in it way back in the day. The car he misses most for sure
Oldsmobile ranks right up there with Buick on underestimated performance.
my dad had a 72 cutlass supreme, he really liked that car
My first car was a hand me down from my grandfather to my mother then to me, it was a 2 door 86 Olds Cutlass Supreme V8 w/ the better rear gears.... It was a beast and would still spin both wheels but it was a Goddamn boat, it took me a few months to figure out where all my corners were and I had to relearn parallel parking over the year. I have fond memories of driving that car to the local spots w/ friends and we'd lay on the hood and stare at the stars because it was the size of a queen mattress..... The trunk was almost as big and could hold 6 people sneaking in to a drive-in or 16 cases of beer and about 6 gallons of liquor, but my favorite part was probably the back seat because it was a couch sized seats front AND back. I must have had 15 "camping" excursions in that thing w/ ex girlfriends, I have a lot of great memories w/ that car.... I don't recommend it now, maybe a newer van w/ the fold flat seats would be better but for me it was the best thing ever. 😂
My Brother drove a 67 olds , back in the early 80's I loved that car it was so cool I actually got to drive it a little when I was 11 , we lived way out in the county
Original paint on that car look at how clean it is truly amazing
I had a 1966 Cutlass convertable. All black with a white top. Handled like a 2nd gen Camaro. And hauled ass!
My first car. A 1966.
Those rocket motors would scream. My 350 2sd 88 was a bad bitch.
Nice Olds
Speak for yourself I've never forgotten my Oldsmobile!! My Cutlass Supreme was bad ass. Loved that car...
I toured the engine plant outside of Buffalo New York that made Cadillac and Olds engines together. This production line made blue printed engines. They went 400,000 miles plus.
Hope you guys do some Gbody videos. Love hearing ya talk about all these vehicles. I'm also very biased wanting Gbody vids cuz I daily my 4door Malibu
Well sir we have videos al ready up on exactly that a 4 door malibu. What year is yours?
@@DudesWithWrenches she's a 1981 base model V6.
@@DudesWithWrenches i gotta go find that video now lol
@@BlackSmokeDemonOG sadly I miss informed you that video was put back in the vault. It may return but right now it is not up . 1981 is cool the last year for the more fast back rear roof. The one we have was my first car in highchool and factory V8
@Dudes With Wrenches that's a shame but Ill keep my eye out 4 it if you do release it. Ya I love my Bu, it hasn't really let me down. Don't really mind it bein a v6 either for a daily. If I want a box chevy w/ a V8 I'll wait till I can buy myself a caprice
The way the tail lights sort of angle inwards reminds me a lot of the roadrunner. Very beautiful car.
These look fantastic in my opinion, great cars, not as sporty as others but great cruisers
Man I wish I had this car , For sure.
Any big block painted gold is freaking cool
Crossover SUV's are like gnats, they're everywhere!
I have a 95 Cutlass. She's been my daily for about 10 years now. Very low maintenance, and she has a certain swag that only comes with a 90s grocery getter
I love my 84 hurst. Cant wait to get her back on the road
