Vehicle Description
There's just something great about the 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Supreme convertible. They have one of the best designs of the era
from a GM division that provided both speed and luxury. So this
complete and feature-filled droptop has everything from its vivid
original colors to a big 455 V8 under the hood.
The paint on this car serves it perfectly. A professional respray
of the original Matador Red gives it the kind of gloss and shine
worthy of a sunshine-friendly droptop. The sheetmetal underneath is
quite solid and straight, with uniform gaps and doors that you can
close with authority. All of this allows you to enjoy the unique
look that the Cutlass has among its GM corporate cousins - such as
the angular hood and the exceptionally sporty kick up in the rear
quarters. Plenty of chrome is appropriate on the luxury-oriented
Olds, and it all shines with the kind of quality that tells you
there was a recent investment here. This is especially important,
because Oldsmobile was a true master during this era at integrating
the bumpers into the overall design. These themes of brightwork and
red are unified perfectly on the color-matched Rallye wheels.
With the touch of a button, the pristine new power folding top
reveals a matching pristine white interior. It's a very stylish
appearance, and that's why it came from the factory with this
combo. These might have been classified as the intermediate size,
but back then that meant offering plenty of room in the back seat
to carry family and friends. But regardless of how many people are
in the car, you'll always be in individual comfort thanks to bucket
seats up front and a center console. Other luxury items like the
burled walnut dash appliqu�s and the triple-pod stainless steel
gauge faces were all standard up-market Cutlass Supreme fare.
There's even provisions for air conditioning. It's all part of an
appearance that's vintage, luxurious, and sporty, all rolled into
one package.
Under the hood is one of the best features. We all love the 455
cubic-inch V8, which was Oldsmobile's monster motor that found a
home in its best offerings like the Toronado and the 442. The big
V8 is dressed in bright blue, but it also holds some nice upgrades
like the Moroso chrome valve covers and MSD ignition. It inhales
deeply through a four-barrel carburetor and exhales with authority
out of the rumbling dual exhaust. And because Olds was used to
offering the large horsepower and torque that the Rocket 455
produced, the three-speed automatic transmission can handle it with
ease. But more than just a big power machine, this Cutlass Supreme
still serves its dual luxury and performance nature well. After
all, features like the auto gearbox, power steering, and front disc
brakes are the perfect recipe for an all-day cruise on your
favorite roads.
