Vehicle Description
A terrific color combo, proper V8 power, four-on-the-floor, and
cold-blowing A/C all mean this 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S
Convertible is the kind of classic that offers everything you want
for an ideal price.
The Olds A-bodies went through a re-design in 1968 to make them the
look like the widest and sleekest car on the road. In fact, the era
of extra wide cars is showcased on two sets of headlights with so
much space in-between that you can fit a horizontal parking light.
And that "S" badge in the center is correct because these coupes
were technically the Cutlass S model that designated the sporty
shorter wheelbase than the sedans. That's why it also deserves this
flashy yellow paint. It's a later quality application that gives
this sunshine-friendly convertible plenty of attention-grabbing
shine in the sunlight. Plus, the chrome and stainless are quite
nice and really pop against the yellow paint. And we especially
love the bumpers, because arguably, no one was better at
incorporating those chrome kings into the design better than a
1960s Olds. But there's also a sinister side to this mature
classic. The iconic Super Stock wheels with extra meaty rear
rubber, hood vents, and fresh black convertible top give this an
imposing stance.
The roof powers down to reveal an attractive black interior with
all the right upgrades. This is built with thoughtful comfort in
mind. For example, the seats are finished in a comfy velour, and
you'll instantly feel the advantage of this upholstery every time
you hop in on a sunny day. Plus, upgrades like the retro-style
AM/FM digital tuner with aux input and cold-blowing R134a air
conditioning makes this a nice car to share with family and
friends. But you also don't need any of them to have fun in this
Cutlass. Bucket seats, Oldsmobile's four-spoke sports steering
wheel, and center console with Hurst shifter all let you know this
is a driver's classic.
Under the hood is a proper Olds 350 cubic-inch V8. It has a great
look with the bold golden block surrounded by plenty of shining
components. And while this is not the numbers-matching unit, it is
a true era-correct block. Not only do we love the Rocket V8 for
being its own independent motor line, but also this historically
hardy V8 has been built for added power. You have an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and headers feeding the
dual exhaust. And you take control of the full power and rumbling
soundtrack with the four-speed manual transmission. It's a strong
motor, and they made sure you'd enjoy driving it thanks to
features, like power steering, a rear sway bar, and power brakes
with front discs.
This is a great-looking droptop classic with all the right features
and investments. So at a price like this, you know you need to
hurry if you want to take it home. Call today!!!
