| “A Cruising Classic” This is one of the first cars i owned, and i loved it to death. It was such a comfortable, smooth ride, and a real head turner. Now that i have it back from my ex, im going to try and get it back to its former glory. With summer time coming up, nothing beats cruising in the Cutlass!!
Pros —
Nice and comfy, and you can seat 6 ( no SUV for me!!)
Cons —
Since it is an older car, there is occasional upkeep

| “Don't Know Why, But I Always Liked This Ride” Jet black with T-Tops and red velour interior... Aye-chee-wah-wah!!!!! Oh, and it had a fully functional premuim 8 track payer with true quadrophonic quality sound. Yeah baby... Rode great and it had a good sized V-8 under the hood.
Pros —
Classic style, Red Velour and the T-Tops
Cons —
Leaky T-Tops, 8 track sound system

| “Smooth Ride, Feels Heavy And Safe.” My 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was special ordered by my mother. It is a that rusty brown color, two door hardtop, with tan interior. It does not have a vinyl roof. The paint job is excellent, shiney and no chipping or fading. Everything works including the air conditioning - which is rare on a 30 year old car. Everything but the radiator cap is original. It is in mint conditon with only 9000 miles. It has been always been parked in a garage. I would like to know the value of the car.
Pros —
smooth ride
Cons —
non of which I can think

| “What's Under Your Hood?” The Cutlass Supreme is an instant classic. It's body style, shape and speed, nowadays, make it stand out in a crowd. Being an owner myself, I feel proud to own one. With a stock 305 V8 under my hood, I can stomp any cocky rookie at the stoplights. One thing that needs to be watched for it RUST! Undercoating is very important! The rear framerails are famous for being the first thing to go. And the plastic around the seatbelts will start the break and cut your seatbelts (which aren't very cheap, believe me). Also, try to keep the tires and rims as stock as possible. Too wide and the crome around the wheel well WILL cut into your tires; another issue I had. Overall, it's a very reliable car. The engine still starts even at -30 Celcius. If properly maintained, it will last you for many years to come.
Pros —
Reliability, speed, classic styling
Cons —
Easily rusts and plastic around seatbelts break with age and cut seatbelts.
