Vehicle Description
1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
It started automotive life innocently enough in 1961. An upscale
model within a new line of compacts designed-in part-to stem the
rising tide of cheap, economical imports, while stealing sales away
from Rambler. Not coincidentally, production of excessively large,
mid-priced cars had been floundering since the late Fifties. But
this humble start for Oldsmobile's Cutlass belied its eventual
impact; the badge had longevity on its side, becoming the most
popular car in America in the process. Its secret recipe for
success was an open book for decades: Put simply, it was the
biggest bang for the buck, in the right size, with a face that
everybody loved.
Named after the familiar short curved blade sword used by
swashbuckling sailors, this Cutlass in 1992 form comes to us in
excellent condition. Plenty of new parts recently put into it and
recent mechanical work brings her up to snuff. Not your father's
Oldsmobile, it's a 2 door Cutlass Supreme.
Exterior
Bathed in screaming aqua, all panels are straight and true. The
rounded front of the car looks much like scowling eyebrows for the
hood as they overhang the rectangular headlights tucked just above
the neoprene body matching bumper. This bumper has horizontal ribs
within its design, and these ribs carry the entire circumference of
the car residing just above the rockers on either side, and through
the rear bumper. Gaps are nicely minded, safety glass has black
surrounds, and a nice panoramic B pillar window offers up plenty of
wide vista viewing as the world goes by in the rear bench. On the
back large tail lighting resides on each corner and flanks a nice
sized trunk. Paint overall is very good, and some snappy 5 lug
wheel coverings are on all 4 corners.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we see expertly molded plastic and vinyl
in dark gray, which is a nice contrast to the exterior aqua making
up the tops of the door panels. On the bottom is dark gray
carpeting, and within are controls for power locks, windows and a
side view mirror joystick and shiny door actuating handle. A bit of
paint chip off is noted on the driver's door near the jamb. Inside
high-backed styled bucket seats in pristine broadcloth velour are
flanking a center console, also in gray. A gray broadcloth velour
rear bench is behind the buckets and is fairly easily accessible
for the passengers that are destined to sit there. Upfront the
original analog gauge black dash with instrument inset in front of
the wheel, and controls in the center in rectangular boxes is the
mantra for this dash. We note a mere 58,325 original miles on this
vehicle. No cracks, runs drips or errors for the dash top also in
dark gray. Gray carpeting does a clean sweep through the interior
and above a gray headliner is nice and tight.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is unrestored although clean with some dust and dirt
but no rust 3.1 liter V6 mill. It has multiport EFI and a TH440-T4
4-speed automatic transmission. A 3.33 final drive is on this
model.
Undercarriage
Underneath straight rust-free steel stamped floor pans and solid
unibody construction abound. No rust, just aqua factory overspray
and organized brake fluid lines along with the exhaust keep things
very simple. Independent front and independent with copies-rung
suspension in back provide the ride, and power disc brakes are all
around.
Drive-Ability
With plenty of recent service description documents, this car
started quickly and off to the test track in a flash where it
performed like a blue, (uhhh ummmm AQUA), streak! Solid braking
which was bias free, good handling and a comfy broadcloth interior
with all working accessories which is a good thing.
The consignor cared enough about this vehicle to make sure it was
in tip top shape prior to its arrival and taking up residence in
our hallowed halls. Now here for the taking, a true Oldsmobile and
a new REO so you can pass it on to your grandson!
