Loaded With Options: 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S

General Motors redesigned its mid-size cars in 1968, including the Oldsmobile Cutlass family. That included the base F-85, the mid-range “S”, and the Supreme. The seller’s 1969 example is from the “S” series and is one of 13,498 convertibles built that year. We’re not told the running status of this automobile, but the right front flat tire suggests that maybe it doesn’t. Located in Miami, Florida (or Milwaukee, Wisconsin?), the body and paint will need attention if you want something more than a driver. The asking price here on eBay is $14,900.

Styling changes in 1969 weren’t significant but noticeable. The turn signals between headlights had been relocated, and the taillights were now vertical rather than horizontal. Overall, the appearance of the cars had improved (IMO). The Cutlass S relied solely on V8 power, beginning with a “Rocket” 350 cubic inch version like in the seller’s car. At 66,000 miles, the setup is numbers-matching, regardless of whether any mechanical work is needed.

Rust is said not to be an issue, excluding the driver’s side rear quarter panel. The list of options assigned to this Oldsmobile is rather long, and the seller says some of them are rare, such as a power trunk release, power radio antenna, and other stuff that tends to quit working after a few years. We assume they’re still functioning here since the seller went to the trouble of listing them.

Confusing is where the car is located. The fill-in-the-blank part of the listing says Miami, but the seller says the vehicle is currently near Milwaukee. Perhaps the car is enroute to Florida. That would be important to clarify when it comes time to send a truck/trailer after your newly acquired prize.
