For Sale: 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham Coupe

"There was a time when getting true luxury in a car meant buying a big car at a big price. Not anymore. Today, there's Cutlass Supreme Brougham. It's the top of the line mid size Olds, with the kind luxury big car owners are accustomed to, but at a practical price. Cutlass Brougham, a new concept of luxury in a car that is surprisingly maneuverable, and practical. Can we build one for you?" Excerpted from the 1977 sales brochure.''

For consignment, a 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham coupe showing 31,382 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This two door Colonnade coupe is on GM's ubiquitous A-body platform, shared by the Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, and Century at the time. If you didn't have one, you surely knew someone who did!

Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public highways in your area.*

Exterior
Two stage Medium Green clings onto period preferences and the sizable stamped steel panels of the car. The hood is long and the decklid is no slouch either and the addition of the white vinyl Colonnade roof adds a handsome accent to a well proportioned car. That roof is tastefully matched with white wall tires wrapping the 15-inch wheels, dressed by wire wheel covers. In front, quad headlights and a split grille is shared by much of the Olds line in 1977 but in back, flush tail lights take to the slope of the fenders and slant with the angle of the rear window in a coordinated effort to shed wind. Imperfections include filler, some mismatched panels, off color white touch up, tape and filler on top, bubbling, orange peel, cracked bumper filler panels, cracks in the paint and fillers, filler craters and lines, surface rust, rust and deplating on the bumpers, and clear runs.

Interior
Striped inserts and carpeted lowers add some liveliness to the plastic door panels, here in green, showing a touch of age but otherwise in nice shape. Those stripes transfer to what Olds called the "loose cushion look" of the pillow top cloth seats. The driver's seat is in poor shape, the passenger side also suffers from some tears, and the rear seats have degraded top surfaces and while we're here, we note the package shelf is weathered as well. The plastic rim of the steering wheel is cracked in numerous places and so are the dash pad and A-pillars. Wood applique faceplates hint at a former glory and dual gauges show some sportiness, all with some patina. The center stack retains the A/C panel and Delco AM/FM radio. Green carpet below and a green headliner above are consistent with the car's condition and the trunk is clean.

Drivetrain
A new water pump and fuel pump are on board for this 350ci V8, fueled by a 4-barrel carburetor and backed by the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission sending power to the 10 bolt rear axle. Power brakes, power steering and air conditioning are on board and the bay presents in driver quality condition.

Undercarriage
There's rust throughout, some invasive and some surface based, along with some patches, otherwise we find the typical surface rust and patina. The single exhaust travels through a stock style muffler and power brakes are divided as front disc and rear drum. We note the lack of a catalytic converter. Coil springs are at both ends and the rears are new, accompanied by a 4 link.

Drive-Ability
We note a big miss in the engine and the propensity to stall out unless the throttle is applied fully and our consignor notes that the compression on cylinder 6 is low. Functionally speaking, other than the air conditioning, everything works as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

More than 630,000 Cutlass' were produced in 1977 at a time when GM still owned the road. The Colonnade A-body was one of the most popular body styles in America, offering midsize transportation with full sized luxury to the masses. They're rare in today's world and this is an opportunity to pick up an example that could use a little TLC.
