1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme review from North America
"A Steel Tank propelled by a Rocket."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the 4 barrel carburator.
Currently replacing the radiator.
Problems with the air conditioner.
Driver seat needs repaired.
Some rust.
General comments?
I love this car, it can definitely push those rice burners out of the way if it calls for it.
It always handles surprisingly great in snow.
I have to admit I did get it airborne and after repacking a bearing or two and replacing a brake cylinder it was as good as new.
I've pulled two four wheel drives out of ditches with this car.
The car is very comfortable and very very reliable.
I plan on painting it black, and adding some impressive exhaust on it to give it more of a kick.
I did hit four cows on summer night on an Iowa highway, all it did to the car was rub some paint off and break the grille - I survived, the cows went for a flight...
