This 1971 Cutlass Supreme Convertible is When Oldsmobile Got It Exactly Right

...yeah lol it would be pretty cool to hang with Bill, he's very up to speed on American cars. The closest i got to knowing about American cars in my youth was buying an import copy of Road and Track in July 1986 and seeing cars on shows like Hunter. I'm more a Brock/HSV guy myself being from that country. His car and general cultural knowledge off the top of his head is intrinsic-like.

Finally someone who gets it. 71 is the best looking year. In 1994 I purchased my first car 71 Cutlass Supreme convertible. Dark Green with Light green interior. I was just a young kid and I had to sell it. Then in 2009 I purchased another one exaclty the same. But the second one had to go because of buying a house and our second child coming soon. Now I drive a 21 Bronco to fit my 3 kids it is nice but it will never beat the feeling of driving my 71 cutlass!!

I sold my '71 Cutlass Supreme 350 4bbl last week, what a car it was. Sienna paint/Sienna interior/Tan vinyl top. Extremely relaxing ride, yet peppy enough to be fun. Just an all around sweet package. And it was 99% original (one paint job and aftermarket radio), down to the vacuum hoses and spark plug wires. Off course it started leaking all over the place after driving it for a bit, but since everything was 50 years old, that was to expect.

[@budlawrence4847]

My dad worked for John Brown Olds from 1971-1977 and he was allowed as part of his pay to use vehicles on the lot. So, we experienced lots of those cars. The Cutless 442 he brought home one week the drivers seat turned 90 degrees to let you out and in if you wanted to swing it that way. Also he drove home 4 door Cutless and we owned a 1972 Delta 88 4 door. Blue with a dark blue roof. It also had the rocket 350 and we did flip the air cleaner cover to hear the secondaries open. So much fun thanks Bill for the trip down memory lane. Love love love the content and videos! Budlight

[@mercoid]

Your criticism of Dalton is hilarious. And I love that you show a picture of him while your doing it. He must be aware that you do this… yet he continues to slack on the detailing. He must not care.

[@daultontransport4703]

If someone was working for me and they done a shitty ass job like he has, he’d be fired. Having someone who NEEDS money to pay bills goes a long way, especially if it’s someone who gives a fuck about the type of job they’re doing. Dalton clearly shows he doesn’t pay any attention to detail, and don’t anyone give me an excuse that he’s only one person doing it all, while Bill does nothing; we don’t know that, nor do I give a fuck to care, but that’s neither here nor there. If Dalton wants to literally show how much he cares about his job, then he needs to kick rocks and file unemployment or welfare like everyone else. Either be apart of a solution, or be apart of the problem, either way, he’s becoming a problem right now. Can’t stand someone who wants to be lazy and take advantage of someone just because they’re, ‘a decent person’. 😒

Oldsmobile built the finest GM A-body, period. From '68 - '77... a hands-down winner in all respects. Having worked in the auto business for many years, many of my colleagues back in the day concurred on that. I owned a '69 442 many years ago, one of the few cars I regret selling. The new owner of this one, will love it. Cheers Bill and thanks for the memories...

My mother owned a blue Buick 1972 Skylark, and I had the pleasure of driving it on a pretence of going to store while up North. I must have been 19 or 20 in 1976 when I had the joyride with my baby brother Wayne with me as a very young 9 year old willing passenger. The twin Cutlass brought back pleasant mother memories as she passed away September 2019, this is October 3, 2021.

[@dogsbark5750]

Funny thing about the cutlass conv. You could get the 442 options with none of the badging. My neighbor has a sub 30k original car that has been wrapped in plastic as Italian ladies do since her husband passed in 1986. It still has the original tires. White with blue stripe, white and blue leather interior, power top/windows, W30/4sp. I have been trying to buy it for 15 years.

[@rockydubois2418]

This guys commentary is unexpectedly golden!

[@cubbysrig]

Great review! My father had a garage full of Oldsmobile cars, from the Cutlass, to the Vista Cruiser you love so much. By the time I was twelve years old (1976), I had already had my hardship drivers license, and was cruising Westheimer Rd., which was the main drag in Houston, listening to a JBL stereo and equalizer through a ton of speakers and amplifiers I had installed all around the car without cutting holes in any of the panels. My secret was that I had two big home stereo speaker towers in the trunk, hooked up to their own dedicated amplifier. It was always a hit and a ton of fun at parking lot gatherings. They don’t make cars like that anymore, and no one cruises like we used to, thanks to anti-cruising laws. It was fun while it lasted, but it didn’t last long enough, in my opinion. Just like the cars. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

My Dad ordered one of these for my Mom from Gage Oldsmobile in Detroit in the fall of 1970...exact same car, exact same color. His brother, my Uncle, was service manager at Gage. Unfortunately, my Mom passed in April 1971. My Dad then let me take it to college at Emory University. So many great memories...drugs, sex and rock and roll! Had it restored to original condition in 1985 and happily cruised the streets of Kansas City...till a house fire claimed it 1987. It was the only car in the garage, our 2 Audi's were in the driveway and survived. I wish I'd lost the Audi's. Miss that ride! We also had a 1968 4-4-2 which was an incredible muscle car My Dad was a cool dude!

It has a white top too along with a blue boot

I know this vid is a year old, but....I had a 71 Cutlass Supreme SX Convertible back in the early-mid 90's. What a fantastic car it was! It had the 455 4V, T400 tranny.....SIGH....transmission....and was silver with black Rallye stripes on the hood and decklid, had a black vinyl interior with bucket seats with console and floor shifter, and a black convertible top. Also had the rear bumper that was 442-stlye, with the cutouts for the dual exhaust, and the chrome trumpet exhaust tips. Man, she was something! That 455 had GOBS of torque. I don't know what the rearend ratio was, but it was most likely a 3.08 or something like that, and a one-legger. She had the Olds Rallye wheels, BFG T/A Radials, and even had A/C! She was an original California car, and still in Cali at the time, so there was ZERO rust anywhere. The trunk inside was a s clean as could be, right down to the original trunk mat and spare tire/jack. Man, what a sweet ride. Thanks, Bill, for the trip down memory lane. I had the time of my life in the late 80's through the late 90's. It was definitely a PARTY back then! Take care, man.

And my girl Liz had one in the family. A beautiful baby blue with a white vinyl top. She got to drive it around and I got to ride along because she liked me more than my best friend.
