1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass S review from North America
"A wonderful classic design"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the brake and cooling systems due to the fact that it sat for a long period of time.
I have also redone the air conditioning. Other than that, it is all original and in excellent condition.
General comments?
I fell in love with this car at first sight. It is an absolute joy to drive and is a very beautiful car as well.
There are very few Colonnade 4-door sedans of this era left. I am thankful to have this one to preserve and enjoy.
This Cutlass represents the last of an era of true American style cars. It has the size, handling and feeling of safety, as well as distinctive looks that do not exist in modern cars.
One thing I really like is the full bench seat. Some of us just don't care for buckets, but Detroit doesn't seem to recognize that fact.
I would recommend a vintage Cutlass to anyone looking for an older car.
