1991 OLDSMOBILE CUSTOM CRUISER
The Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser is a large rear-wheel drive station
wagon that was manufactured and marketed by Oldsmobile from 1971 to
1992 across three generations, sharing platforms with the Buick,
Pontiac, and Chevrolet full-size wagons. The Custom Cruiser
reintroduced Oldsmobile to the full-sized station wagon market
segment following the discontinuation of the 1964 Oldsmobile 88
Fiesta models.
Oldsmobile had previously used the "Custom Cruiser" name on the
Custom Cruiser 90, 96, and 98 models from 1940 to 1947.
Those who still value full-size, traditional rear-drive wagons
might take a look, however, since only three hung on into the early
1990s-all from General Motors. Oldsmobile's version fits right
between the Caprice and Estate in price and features.
Oldsmobile gave its last remaining rear-drive model, the full-size
Custom Cruiser station wagon, a swoopy new shape for 1991. It was
the first major restyling since the model had been downsized, way
back in 1977.
Chevrolet and Buick also restyled their wagons this year, and
continued to offer sedans built on the same chassis. Olds, on the
other hand, issued only the station wagon. Offered in a single trim
level, the Custom Cruiser differed from the Buick Estate and
Chevrolet Caprice wagons mainly in front/rear styling and
instrument-panel design.
A new fuel-injected, Chevrolet-designed 5.0-liter V8 engine went
beneath the hood, producing 170 horsepower and replacing the prior
generation's 140-horsepower carbureted V8. The new Chevrolet engine
offered an increase in performance as well as improved fuel
economy. Also new for 1991 the Turbo-Hydramatic 200-4R, was
replaced by the 700R4 (4L60) transmission.
The Custom Cruiser had a standard "vista roof," which consisted of
a fixed sunroof with dark tinted glass over the middle bench seat.
Custom Cruisers also featured an adjustable roof luggage rack. The
2-way tailgate swung down or opened to the left, and its glass rear
window flipped up separately.
Oldsmobile claimed that the interior was roomier. With middle and
rear seats folded, the cargo area could hold a 4�8-foot sheet of
plywood-the usual measure for such spaces.
A driver's airbag was standard in the redesigned interior, mounted
in a tilt steering wheel. Eight-passenger seating was standard,
with 3-place front and middle seats plus a 2-place third-row
bench.

Cruisers sold for the 1991 model run. The last Custom Cruiser was
assembled on June 5, 1992.
