5k: Greater Cleveland Special Edition: 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Coupe GCSX

Out of all the strange special editions that automobile manufacturers have released, I can find nothing more perplexing than the Greater Cleveland Special Edition of the fourth generation Cutlass from Oldsmobile.  What Cleveland has to do with Oldsmobile is totally lost on me, but apparently Oldsmobile had a regional option package Y76 that added specific badging for each region and included gems like GMO (Galliant Men of Olds -- Chicago), LION (Long Island Olds Network), and the previously highlighted GCSX.  Find this 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Coupe GCSX currently bidding for $1,810 reserve-not-met with $7,500 buy-it-now with 5 days to go, located in Madison, GA.

5k Presidential: 1974 Gerry Ford Gran Torino w/ 351 Grover Cleveland V8

Gerald Ford was the 38th president and is best known for pardoning recently impeached resigned president Nixon, presiding over a horrible economy and the malaise era: a period of time when the worst cars ever were built.  The cars built from 1974-1977 during Mr Ford's reign were heavy, ugly, slow and unreliable - assaulted from both ends manufacturer's desire for quick profit and the government's desire for safety and emissions.  This 1974 Gerry Ford Torino is powered by a Grover Cleveland V8 and for sale in Cranford, NJ, currently bidding on ebay for $4,164 with 3 days to go.
