Vehicle Description
There's just something great about the 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Supreme convertible. They have one of the best designs of the era
from a GM division that provided both speed and luxury. So it's
great to find one so complete and ready to go.
Bamboo is a great color for a premium '70s cruiser. The sheetmetal
underneath is quite solid and straight. All of this allows you to
enjoy the unique look that the Cutlass has among its GM corporate
cousins. And the details highlight the attraction further. For
example, the pinstripes help showcase the sporty profile. Plenty of
chrome is appropriate on the luxury-oriented Olds, and you get in
all the right places like the full-length lower trim and running
down the center of the hood. Plus, no one integrated their bumpers
better into their design than Oldsmobile A-bodies. There's even
extra shine from new wheels (but the color-matched iconic Super
Stock wheels also come with the sale.)
The gold interior makes for a nice color combo against the bamboo,
and it's this kind of color coordination you want in a car that
will be open to the world. These might have been classified as the
intermediate size, but back then that meant offering plenty of room
for up to six people in this Olds. And anytime you want individual
comfort, the folding armrest gives the front bench a bucket level
of comfort. Oldsmobiles were about offering the luxurious extras,
and this one carries that tradition perfectly. That's why you get
the burled walnut dash appliqu�s and the three pod-style stainless
steel gauge faces. You can tell there was a lot of thought that
went into make sure this is a good cruiser today. It's the details
such as a proper boot cover for when the top is down, and upgrading
the stereo to an AM/FM/CD player for the best in modern tunes.
Oldsmobile people know that a Rocket 350 cubic-inch motor is
something very special. It looks great with its proper gold
presentation, and it even carries the cool "Keep your GM car all
GM" decal on the Rocket air topper. Olds manufactured their own V8
engines during this era, and they have proven to be even more
sturdy than the trusty Chevy 350. It has a distinctive sound from
the dual exhaust - a sophisticated rumble that's perfect for this
ragtop's luxury/muscle dual nature. In fact, this one is a definite
cruiser thanks to a recent rebuild of the three-speed automatic
transmission around 200 miles ago. Add in power steering and power
brakes, and you've just found a great weekend driver.
This is a two-owner convertible that even comes with receipts
dating back through half of this car's lifetime. This is a classic
that has been appreciated, and now it's time for someone to write
the next chapter. Will it be you?
