Long Roof A-Body: 1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass 2 Door Wagon

Oldsmobile never made a two door wagon ever so today's feature is a bit of a mystery.  In 1981, Oldsmobile did offer a four door wagon.  However, this wagon has a number of unique features that add up to a more questions than answers as to what and how this beast came to be.  You can see later style G-body Cutlass nose, either a Olds or Chevy 350 engine swap, and enough velour/suede material on the interior that it could pass as a hearse or flower car.  Find this 1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme for sale in Laconia, NH for $8,500 via craigslist.

Pond Scum- 1987 Oldsmobile 442

The 1987 Oldsmobile 442 was the swan song for the pseudo hotrod G-body coupe.  The 442 couldn't hold the Buick Grand National's jock strap in terms of outright speed, but it still was a desirable car.  These special models were fully equipped and had many options you would have thought should have come standard on car by 1987.  The warmed over 170 hp 307 was only good for mid 9 second 0-60 times and a 16 second 1/4 mile.  With all that said, Olds sold a ton of these cars and they are very easy to make faster in 2018.  Today's 442 has some light engine mods, but what really stands out is the shade of green it was painted.  Given the relatively low selling price, the putrid color scheme is not helping the resale value.
