9k Mile 1983 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds

Based on the stylish Cutlass Calais G-Body, the Hurst/Olds made one last return for 1983 and 1984, before finally saying goodbye to the Oldsmobile lineup.  In the earlier years, the H/O was synonymous with high-performance, and while the fifteenth-anniversary… more»

Aeroback 4-Speed: 1979 Oldsmobile 442

Black Plates And Patina: 1964 Oldsmobile Jetstar I

Oldsmobile’s 1964 line-up was a bit confusing. I’ve covered their models from that year before, and always have to go through a refresher to figure out what’s what. So, with that thought, here we go again. Today’s find is… more»

Needs Lovin’: 1958 Oldsmobile 98

Grandpa’s Car? 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

632,000! How’s that for a model production number? Yup, it’s big, and that’s how many 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlasses were assembled – its highest volume model year and one of the highest production models built by any car manufacturer in… more»

Late-Seventies Muscle: 1979 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds

Run It Before Restoring It: 1950 Oldsmobile 88 Futuramic Convertible

Solid Project: 1965 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88 Convertible

Years ago, I saw a solid ’70 LeSabre Convertible parked on the side of the road with a “For Sale” sign in the window. The interior was a disaster and it had no top, but with an asking price… more»

Solid California 4-Speed Convertible: 1968 Oldsmobile 4-4-2

After a rewarding first four years as an options package for the Oldsmobile F-85 and Cutlass, the 4-4-2 earned a place in the brand’s lineup as its own separate model in 1968, a position it held until 1971 when… more»

28K MIle 1976 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Coupe
