Vehicle Description
Here's your opportunity at an exceptionally rare classic droptop
for an exceptionally affordable price. After all, you know the
factory never made a 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible, but this
coachbuilt example makes this cool cruiser an instant
head-turner.
This is a rare piece of expensive history. The American carmakers
were not willing to get directly in the soft top game in the early
1980s. But a few coachbuilers (often with dealer support) would
create what Detroit wouldn't dare. This is an expensive process
that would often double the price of the car, but the results were
worth it. Today that holds even more truth as the design of the
Cutlass has matured into a proper classic. The Cutlass Supreme was
arguably the best G-body design with a very formal look that
included the waterfall grille, long doors, and Olds' tradition of
well-integrated bumpers. Plus, custom elements like the pinstriping
and 15-inch Billet Specialties wheels only add to this custom
droptop's individualized feeling.
The burgundy leather interior is a great complementing standout
color to the bright white exterior. It appears to be original, and
it still matches nicely on the seats, carpets, and dash. The burled
walnut veneer is some of the most handsome trim for any car in the
80s, and as expected with such an expensive convertible, it came
loaded. This one has power windows, tilt wheel, power locks,
provisions for air conditioning, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo.
Plus, the Grant three-spoke wood and chrome steering wheel is the
perfect way to enjoy all-day cruising.
Under the hood is powerful 350 cubic-inch V8 - remember even the
Hurst/Olds cars of the day didn't get this much displacement. That
means you've got plenty of power when you need it, and tons of
torque always ready to go. But more importantly, the 350 V8 really
means this cruising convertible provides grand touring comfort in
abundance. Adding to this easy driving feeling is the TH350
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc
brakes.
We know you don't come across a Cutlass Supreme convertible from
this generation every day. In fact, we bet this is the first time
you've seen one in quite a while, if ever. That's why if you're
intrigued by this affordable coachbuilt droptop, you better act
fast. After all, when will you see the next one?
