Court Is In Session: 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Coupe

World Famous: 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass International Series

International can be somewhat of an abused term - think Daytona "International" Speedway. Though international in this case probably meant Mexico, Canada, and the United States, this Quad 4 Cutlass model featured all the comfort of the Calais with a manual gearbox and batmobile cladding. In a time when most domestic offerings had pushrods and velour, the term International was nearly fitting.  Find this 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass International Series for sale in Ormond Beach, FL for $1,975 via craigslist.

Classic Sedan: 1965 Oldsmobile F-85 Cutlass

The first generation Oldsmobile F-85 was a unibody compact that didn't sell particularly well (everybody wanted a Corvair!), but the 2nd generation, introduced in 1964, was upsized to the body-on-frame A-platform (shared with the Chevrolet Chevelle, Buick Special, and Pontiac Tempest).  This next example is a 4-door, but the price is great.  Find this 1965 Oldsmobile F85 Cutlass offered for $3,500 near Ft Myers, FL via craigslist.  Tip from Dascpcu.

Green! 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Holiday Coupe

4 wheels, 4 tires, 2 headlights: 1979 Oldsmobile 442

It's an unfortunate thing that the grand Olds 442 became analogous to season 7 of Bewitched or Bob Dylan's 36th studio album. Once quite good, by 1979 the 442 was patiently awaiting a death that no one was willing to execute.  Find this 1979 Oldsmobile 442 for sale in Charlotte, NC for an undisclosed amount of cash or things via craigslist.

Lightning Rods: 1984 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds

The Last 442: 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Quad 442

Oldsmobile first used the 442 designation on the F-85 Cutlass A-Body to describe its combination of 4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission, and 2 exhausts.  The 442 name was used on a number of A-body and later G-body cars, but in 1990 it was applied to the N-body Cutlass Calais.  Except the Cutlass had no barrels or carbs, a 5-speed gearbox and a single exhaust.  So why did the name Quad442 appear on the rockers? 4 cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, and 2 camshafts.  Find this 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Quad 442 offered for $3,800 near Las Vegas, NV.

Classic Status Unlocked: 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass SX

 The 3rd generation Oldsmobile Cutlass (1968-1972) was built on GM's A-body platform, but featured unique styling by Oldsmobile's internal head of design Stan Wilen.  Of course it is powered by a big block V8 and shifted with a slushbox, because this is your father's Oldsmobile.  Find this 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass SX here on eBay bidding for $13,900 located in East Islip, NY.

Muscle Machine: 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass S
