Barn-Bound 10 Years: 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

1977 was the fifth and last year of the “Colonnade” A-body cars at General Motors. A smaller, more fuel-efficient platform was due out in 1978, yet cars like the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme were still putting up big sales numbers. The seller (also a dealer) has a ’77 Cutlass Supreme Brougham – the top-line model – for sale, which has been in storage since 2015. All cleaned up and ready to go (except for new tires), this Olds can be found in Oak Grove, Kentucky. And it is available here on eBay, where the opening bid of $7,500 is uncast, but the Buy It Now option is set at $9,995.

The Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was born in 1966 as a mid-size personal luxury car. Morphing later to include 4-door models, the Supreme would enjoy a run lasting more than 30 years. And it would become the best-selling car in its class for a time. The 1977 model year was no exception, with total sales of more than 437,000 units, of which nearly 125,000 were Brougham coupes like the seller’s car.

We’re told this Olds was last registered a decade ago, and the previous owner has passed away (we don’t know which came first). It has spent a number of years accumulating dust, which has since been washed away by the seller. It would be occasionally driven short distances, which may explain why it still runs and drives well (there is no mention of any servicing work done). A 350 cubic inch V8 resides under the hood, which was typical of this generation of the Cutlass Supreme.

No mention is made of any rust, and the blue paint, matching interior, and white Landau vinyl top all seem to have cleaned up well. Though the seller has put about 100 miles on the Olds test-driving it, the buyer will need to invest in a new set of tires. We’re told the vehicle will not be sold with an open title, so does that mean it’s encumbered in some way? At 70,000 miles, it looks good for a nearly 50-year-old piece of Detroit iron.

    When I was in High school. This was MY Dream Cutlass!!! Dark blue, white landau top, 350 Olds V8. ( I would’ve preffered a console and buckets, but the bench seat is just fine. Kudos to the seller for taking it out of the barn and cleaning it up. I might try to just maintain the paint, but maybe a paint job in the future seeing as how its peeling in spots. As for new tires, I’d go for a set of white walls. Thanks for taking me back to my High School days Russ!!! I enjoyed your write up.

    I believe this is just a Cutlass Supreme, not a Brougham model. Either way, it looks so much better cleaned up.

      The Brougham had pillow-top seats.

    Russ, you’ve got the evolution of the Cutlass Supreme backwards. The first, 1966 model was a sedan. Two door models were added for 1967.

    Grampa took good care of this Cutlass. It’s a bargain.

    I had a 76 which is the twin of this car and I loved that car. If the NY salt hadn’t eaten it up I would still be driving it.
