Vehicle Description
Beautiful 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme loaded with options.
Fantastic color combination, great-running 350 with automatic
transmission. Very well documented. A very high quality A-Body Olds
ready to enjoy right away!There's something about the Oldsmobiles
that just feels different. This attractive 1972 Olds Cutlass
somehow seems more solid, better assembled, and just plain better
than a comparable Chevy or Pontiac. And thanks to someone spending
a whole lot of money on this car, it's easily the best we've seen.
The sparkling Saddle Bronze paint almost has an iridescent look and
hugs the muscular Cutlass bodywork extremely well. Add in the white
vinyl top (with no signs of issues underneath) and the pinstripes
that highlight the fender line, and you get a car that looks sporty
yet upscale at the same time. You can see at a glance just how
straight the bodywork really is and if you rap your knuckles on any
panel, it rings true in a way that only original, undamaged
sheetmetal really can. Gaps are excellent throughout, suggesting
that the Oldsmobiles got a little extra attention on the assembly
line, and all the chrome is either excellent original stuff or
properly refinished to stock specs. You'll note the emblems are
crisp, the fine mesh grille is undamaged, and the satin black
accents that are unique to the '72 models are properly done. This
is a really nice car.Inside you get a matching Saddle Tan interior
that appears to be entirely original and in fantastic condition.
The bench seats are still firm and comfortable, the door panels
don't even show a divot where the driver's elbow might have rested,
and the dash pad isn't cracked or sun damaged. Nice! The carpets
have probably been replaced simply because they look too fresh to
be 50 years old, but the whole interior has a high-quality look and
feel that's very appealing. The 4-spoke steering wheel helps with
the Cutlass's sporty demeanor and this car is equipped with a full
set of gauges, including a working Tic-Toc-Tac. Other options
include power windows, factory A/C, a tilt steering column, and an
AM/FM radio, along with all the standard features that made
Oldsmobiles special. The headliner overhead is surely original,
too, and it shows no discoloration or split seams, and the
factory-installed shoulder belts are handing right where they
should. There's also a good-sized trunk with original mats and a
matching full-sized wheel and tire assembly. Oldsmobile's 350 cubic
inch 'Rocket' V8 shared nothing with its corporate cousins of the
same displacement, and has its own personality. There's a distinct
sound to the Olds powerplant that we find appealing. There's also a
good hit of low-end torque and thanks to a few sensible upgrades
like a modern Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust, it's
surely a bit more potent than when it was new. It starts quickly
and easily, idles properly, and pulls the sporty coupe around
without much effort at all. There are a few chrome dress-up items
under the hood to go with the factory gold engine enamel, and
anything that was removed or replaced is included with the car,
including the original air cleaner assembly. Proper maintenance
means that it drives like it should, stays cool on hot days, and
never gets fussy?it's an Oldsmobile, after all. The TH350 3-speed
automatic shifts crisply but not harshly and with 2.73 gears out
back, it's a great highway cruiser (in fact, this car was driven to
our shop from New York without incident). The suspension is
obviously more luxury than sport, but it's competent and
comfortable for cruising and the power front disc brakes are plenty
strong. New equipment includes a fresh dual exhaust system, recent
gas tank, and little stuff like shocks and brake components, so
it's 100% ready to enjoy. Color-matched SSII wheels always look
awesome on these cars, with these wrapped in 225/70/14 BFGoodrich
T/A radials all around.Documentation is extensive, including the
original window sticker, a copy of the build sheet, and all the
factory owner's manuals mounted in a display. It also includes
service, body, and assembly manuals, plus a good cache of spare
parts.This is easily the nicest Olds Cutlass we've ever featured
and probably the best A-Body of any kind that has been in our
showroom. It's just beautifully maintained and the combination of
luxury options and sporty driving manners makes the Cutlass just as
appealing today as it was in 1972. If you're looking for a
high-quality car that doesn't break the bank, something that stands
out at shows (this car is a multiple award winner), and that you
can enjoy driving on a regular basis, look no further?your car is
