1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass Brougham review from North America
"You can't find better for 800$can"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Little oil burned on the engine due to old sealing involving the gasket.
Electric windows don't open anymore, except the little ones on the back.
Rust on the bumpers and the body, but not too bad in general.
Sometimes the carburetor choke does not open, but with a pencil you'll be all right! Never happened to me anyway!
General comments?
Reliable car, always starts during winter, even with changing weather; below and over freezing point. Great comfort, seats a so comfortable, very clean on the inside without abusive caring, engine not as powerful as it use to be, but still a V-8 to move you around. Need too much gas, but yet not that bad because it's a small V-8. Handle well if you follow speed limit!
