1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme review from North America
"Americana"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Surface rust.
Rear bumper completely rusted out inside.
Suspension is too soft. A ton of body roll.
General comments?
My Great Uncle was the orinal owner. He gave me the car. I had been trying to get him to sell it to me for the last 8 year.
It has been garaged and regularly serviced since day one.
Absolutely no problems (general maintaince is not considered a problem).
Local body shop is taking care of the rust and laying down primer.
350 will be rebuilt to add a lot more power. Stock does not do it for me.
A stiffer suspension will be installed to correct the body roll. Taller rear springs will lift the rear up.
When I'm finished the car will once again be considered a true muscle car.
