Vehicle Description
1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible
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 1991 convertible form comes
to us in good 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 drop top.
Exterior
Bathed in gentle and soft white, all panels are straight and true
with some mismatching of the color from panel to panel. The rounded
front of the car looks much like scowling eyebrows for the hood as
they meet up with the rectangular headlights and twin black grilles
tucked just above the neoprene body matching bumper. This bumper
has a nice burgundy pinstripe within its design, and this carries
to the body matching front fender flare. From here a neoprene white
ground effect takes over and wraps the entire circumference of the
car residing just above the rockers on either side, and through the
rear bumper. Gaps are nicely minded, and with the white canvas top
down there is 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 good, and
some snappy 5 spoke fan blade alloy wheels are on all 4
corners.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we see expertly molded plastic and vinyl
in maroon, which is a nice contrast to the exterior white making up
the tops of the door panels. On the bottom is maroon carpeting, and
within are controls for power locks, windows and a side view mirror
joystick and shiny door actuating handle. Inside, high-backed
styled bucket seats in lightly worn maroon leather flanking a
center console, also in maroon. A maroon leather rear bench is
behind the buckets and is fairly easily accessible for the
passengers that are destined to sit there. Floating B-pillars
remain upright even when the top is folded and connect as a
rudimentary roll bar of sorts. Upfront the original maroon dash
with a LCD 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 79,311 original miles on this vehicle; however the
title is showing 79,821. No cracks, runs, drips or errors for the
dash top also in maroon. More maroon for the carpeting as it does a
clean sweep through the interior.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is unrestored although clean with some dust and dirt
but no rust 3.1 liter V6 mill with new injectors and a recent oil
change. 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 patina and road dirt
coated black steel and organized brake fluid lines along with the
exhaust keep things very simple. Independent front and independent
with coil sprung suspension in back provide the ride, and power
disc brakes are all around. Our consignor notes that the entire
brake system has been recently serviced.
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 white streak! Solid braking which was bias free,
good handling and a comfy leather interior with all working
accessories save for the horn not tooting, the heater display not
illuminating and the top being a tad slow going back up.
The consignor cared enough about this vehicle to make sure it was
in tip top mechanical 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!
