Thanks as always Wizard for sorting out our cars! I am going to drive and enjoy this one! Been a Bucket list car of mine since I saw my first one! I’m curious to hear what your viewers think!
I will have my detailed CZcams video up on my channel Euroasian Bob in a couple days if you want a close up look.
Urination Bob shows up.
I remember these from back in the day and loved them! Which is weird because it’s just a front wheel drive domestic duty rig, but it’s still sparks those old memories
You over price your vehicles. That car is not worth over $5k. Oldsmobiles from the 90s have no resale value, the mileage does not matter, it’s a 33 year car. Also the fact the car wizard criticizes people who get cars for cheap on videos featuring your vehicles are annoying.
You know I always wanted one of these when I was younger. I always really liked them. I had a '95 sedan that was a great car, at least until the intake gasket blew. If I had more money and less impulse control I'd make you an offer, but I don't have what you'd want.
@@Nousername9-b1n Cars are worth what the buyers and sellers agree upon, not what your perpetually broke self thinks they are. In case you haven't noticed, GM isn't making these anymore. Oldsmobile folded in 2004. If you think these are so cheap and plentiful go find another one. Obviously Euroasian Bob is doing a pretty good business selling cars for his prices or he would have gone out of business a long time ago.
You hit a gold mine when you hired Grimes at Omega. Treat him well! Automotive geniuses like him are rare.
I wonder what happen to magic mike
@@rebelusa6585, magic Mike left to do his own channel.
@@rebelusa6585nothing, he just decided to start his own project fixing cars in his garage, he has a youtube channel
Doing a water pump on those 3.1s is a dream, probably takes 20 minutes, its right on top. Easiest water pump ever as far as i know.
Changing the spark plugs, a different story though.
That engine is definitely easier to work on than the optional 3.4L DOHC engine. The timing belt itself is at least a 6 hour job.
@@donaldwilson2620special cam locks needed too, no keys on the cam sprockets....
My first car was a 1993 Cutlass Supreme 2 door. I loved that thing, it was super reliable, never gave me issues or left me stranded. It had one weird quirk. Literally the day after I drove it home the transmission developed a weird whine that would wind up in 1st gear only. So EVERYONE knew when I was pulling up. It was like my signature signal.
I always like GM cars from the late 80s to mid 90s. They were reliable I had a couple of Chevy celebrities delta 88 and Buick LeSabre. Replacing an intake gasket, which was common on. These wasn’t too bad of a job. It’s a lot more reliable than these newer GM cars that have timing problems . in the past I never liked Ford. They were the ones that were unreliable but now I can’t say the same honestly, I think as of 2005 to present Ford actually might be more reliable than GM. Chrysler Fiat we won’t mention their name. They’re that bad. unfortunately, even Toyota has problems with the timing chain similar to the GM 3.6 L. I guess all cars are junk these days even the ones that had an impeccable record.
I like how the lift plays music when it goes up and down.
I'm only here for the lift music
Occasionally they play it at other moments to see if you're paying attention
Lol I thought I was the only one
"Speak for yourself sir" LOL Keeping the wizard in line 🤣
Yep that was funny
In the early 90s, I was working at my first job after I got out of college. I was sent to a customer site for a period of time, and I once had a Cutlass Supreme 4 door sedan as a rental car. I just remember how much I liked that car. Great to see a survivor like this in such great shape.
Never ceases to amaze me, how well these cars hold up. Not burdened by electronic and plastic overload.
What a joy to look under the hood too.
And the best, they quite have a unique character and don’t look all alike like most cars nowadays.
Absolutely... gorgeous car. 👍🏾🇺🇸
@@jerryjeromehawkins1712 totally agree! I always wanted a 1995 Chevy Impala SS, but only had $12,000.- when I came here in 2000. So ended up with a 1995 Ford Thunderbird, that fell apart, once it came close to 100k miles 😢
My Grandma had a 89 grand prix same platform which looked futuristic ( think knight rider after the fact) it had buttons all over the steering wheel
I swear statistically i see more pre 2000s cars on the road still. Than 2000-2005 cars nowadays planned obsolescence mabey?
@@renj6531 I see quite a few of the latest cars/cross-overs/SUVs/trucks everywhere and wonder how can people afford these? Mine is mid-prized and paid for in cash. But those new trucks, often starting at $100k+ , I mean, really? That’s a downpayment on a house.
The older car didn’t have so many computers and easy to work and fix without breaking the bank it’s a keeper. It is so beautiful
Do have to watch those digital instrument clusters>>have a habit of failing with time and may be hard to find.
Actually it has a computer, and it is not OBDII. I drive a 92 Volvo and an 89 chrysler both with pre OBdII computers. When Wizard said that the new mechanics are not interested in working on them, that is why. the Volvo is well supported on line, but the old TBI chrysler has been left in the dust. Only one older shop still has the computer that can analyze the system. I can pull codes and throw parts at it, but like he says, you need the right equipment to properly troubleshoot.
I've got a soft spot in my heart for these Cutlass Supremes. I still have the 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme International I got over 30-years ago when I was in high school. Same body style as this one, but a coupe. I had the horn problem on mine as well probably 2 decades ago. Tried to replace the sponge, but it would still intermittently honk. Ended up just disconnecting the spade lugs on the side horns but left the middle one connected.
I have a '93 Cutlass Supreme convertible white with white top and red interior 54,000 miles been sitting in my garage in Porter Indiana for 16 years. Was bought new by my mom. One of too many "some day" projects. I think it might be another 10 years before I have time to get to it. Being a Ford man, if it was a Mustang I would have gotten to it years ago.
Those 2.8 and 3.1 V6 motors had such an awesome rumble to them, some of the best sounding 6 cylinder engines ever
The same era of Bonneville SSE was awesome, wheel color matched the body.
Love those
Everyone misses pontiac (at least I do) 🥲
@@itsRobbienotRobby True that, they always had a nice looking vehicle. I'm a Ford guy, I would switch over for the right one. I wish that last edition of Monte Carlo was RWD. I would probably have one the pace car edition.
They were great looking cars for sure.. I remember the SSEi which was the highest model.. It had the supercharged engine.
@@michaelbowen463 and so many buttons!
I had a hardtop 1991 Olds Cutlass Supreme. I owned a 1989 model as well. Loved these cars. The 89 was my first big-boy used car when I turned 21 in 1994. In 95 I hit a deer and traded in on the 91. Somewhere between 94 and 95, I purchased an 89 Grand Prix. It had around 100k and I paid $2000 for it on my credit card (dumb I know now). Ran like crap and had a dented fender. Replaced the fender with aftermarket and changed the spark plugs. It ran amazing and these were my 2 vehicles from 1995 through 2000. Only ever needed to replace the rear wheel calipers. And the Pontiac needed new driver door handle replaced twice (common failure point on the coup model).
Didn't realize the Lumina shared the same class. I got a 98 Lumina in 2004. The 3.1L lasted for 150k miles and 10 years! It leaked oil, but never died on me... I just kept up on maintenance and tires. Best cars I ever owned.
My dad had a 1992 Buick Regal, sister to the Oldsmobile. Great car! It served him well for many years. I myself owned 3 Oldsmobiles; two G-body Cutlasses and an Omega. I loved them all. When Olds was discontinued I was genuinely saddened. A part of my youth died along with Olds - Rest In Peace.
These era of Olds was always my favourite and hearing that V6 start up and hearing that familiar GM V6 idle, just reminds me of how much time my family spent in our 93 Lumina APV Minivan.
Sadly, Wizard if you brought that to factory dealership today; they wouldn't say anything at all to you. Literally no Oldsmobile factory dealerships left in existence.
Millennial GM tech: “an Oldsmawhat?” 😄
General Motors was famous for their badge engineering (marketing similar cars under different brands with minor badging and cosmetic differences). This car was similar to the Pontiac Grand Prix, Buick Regal and Chevrolet Lumina. That means you could take any of these cars to one of the other brands and the technicians could service it with no issue. Today, almost no one is going to pay expensive dealership service rates on such an old vehicle long since out of warranty.
Born in 82', and that car was a dream car! So cool.
Thank you for sharing this Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. As an owner of two Oldsmobiles( 98( 1996) and Toronado( 1992) I say thank you. It was great to see it was in great shape and all the features are holding up and other items as well. The digital gauges did go away sadly and were replaced by analog gauges. They made other changes such as the headlights and the instrumentation panel and engine options and power. It sadly never got the 3800 V6. Buick Regal had it as an option, but by the second generation W Body, they all offered the 3800 V6. In Oldsmobile's case it was in the Intrigue.
See so many cars of this vintage where owners rip out the old radio and replace with one of those horrendous Android things, put in a cold intake filter, change the wheels, and apply other mods So sad. It's nice to see the originality of cars like this.
Might just be the single CLEANEST one of those on the planet, convertible aside, Probably the cleanest low mileage version period. The fact that its the rare vert is just cherries on the top.
Thanks for showing us this amazing car! I’ve been hoping for a video since I saw it in the background on the channel. When I was a teenager in the mid 90’s, I remember seeing one of these and thinking it looked so good. I loved that ‘roll bar’. I saw one at a dealership near my job and had to check it out. It ended up being a fully loaded ‘94 in ‘98, right after I turned 18, and I convinced my dad to co-sign on a loan so I could have it. Soon after, he tried to convince me to let him take it over, but that wasn’t happening. Mine was a white 3.4L with a black top and charcoal grey interior with the 5 spoke rims. It was quick, and the dual exhaust sounded amazing, especially driving under an overpass. It had the bucket rear seats, all auto-down windows, and it had heads up display! My opinion is that ‘94 had the best looking interior, because they changed up a few of the controls and the steering wheel from the earlier generations (it had HVAC controls on it as well!), but it wasn’t the rounded dash look of the later years. I really enjoyed that car, and I was a little sad to let it go when I finally sold it about 15 years ago.
Props to Grimes! He's an excellent Technician 👍🤘
I had an 89 Cutlass Supreme International Coupe....it was great!
VERY happy to watch this Car Wizard offering in old school format, no shameless peddling substandard zoom call “therapy” and no hocking junk auto zone parts claiming “as good, or better than OEM” based entirely on the parts being freebies in exchange for endorsing them.
Hoping to see this continue, I miss this type of content.
I'm like Mrs Wizard. Those glowing gauges will never get old for me.
As an owner of a soon to be "Classic" convertible (2001 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Limited), I love seeing these older verts. Never a GM fan, but drove many of these back in the 80's/90's while working for Avis Rent-A-Car. They are as comfortable as your couch. Euroasian Bob has this one priced right. 40k miles? LOADS of top down driving left in this car!!
I had one identical looking, but not a convertible. Mine however, was a very rare 91 International 5 speed manual (Getrag HM-284) with the 3.4 DOHC. It had quad leather buckets, digital dash, and HUD. It was 1 of 109 made that year. They only made 500 total 3.4 DOHC 5 speed cars between the Grand Prix, Cutlass, and Lumina. They only made this combo in 1991 and 1992. There was 1 93 GP with the combo. You could also get the quad 4, 2.8, and 3.1 with the 5 speed HM-282 from 88-92. There were no manuals after the 1 93 was built. The 3.4/284 combo was very fun, the trans was only ever paired with the 3.4 in those 3 cars. It was geared perfectly for the high revving 3.4. If ran to the redline (which was 500rpm higher in manuals), it would drop you in the next gear at 3,200rpm, right where the powerband started to pull hard. They had a much shorter throw than the 282, and also had a pull-type clutch similar to the corvettes.
Didn't know you could get the digital dash with the manuals. The revised dash the put in later years looked so damn cheap
I presume you still don't have it?
Unfortunately, I sold it in like 2015 with a brand new create engine not installed yet. The original developed a rod knock. I believe the guy lives in Northern MN that bought it from me. The only option it did not have was the D.I.C., but through a forum, I found out that all the HUD cars were pre-wired for the D.I.C. I bought one used from a member and added it. It also had the sunroof. It also had a bad PMIII abs pump, and those are unobtainium! Napa used to rebuild them for $1,500 back in the day. I was going to try to source a 5-speed firewall plate for the vacuum brakes and convert it, but I never got that far.
Most of the 2.8 & 3.1 5 speeds had normal non ABS brakes. But unless you want to chance it and weld on new studs and hope to hell you got it right, you need to pull the entire dash and swap that firewall plate out. The Power master III ABS system was a nightmare and only used a couple years in the high optioned cars. I believe this system was also pioneered in the corvette. People say that when working properly, it was better than modern ABS brake systems, but they usually are not in working order, and parts are impossible to find. I believe the auto 3.4 was 215 hp or 225, the manual was 15 or 25 hp more. There are stories of this 3.4 5 speed combo being turned up close to 300hp in development, but supposedly were de-tuned because they were outrunning the Corvettes of that era. They said the Getrag HM-284 paired with the 3.4 would handle at least 300-400hp, and was sopposedly the strongest FWD transmission to ever leave GM. The auto could hardly handle the 3.4 that was turned down from the manual version without exploding.
@@zachkelley1830 I wondered why 3.4 liters and DOHC Still only a little over 200 hp. Most 3.4s I would see were Lumina Z34
That interior 👌 I'm a sucker for the sedan from 89. And a larger extent, the 91 Chevy Celebrity sedan. Good times from that era. They were so comfortable.
The sedan for this generation started as a '90 model, not '89.
@@houseofno'tis indeed true!
@@houseofnoAh, thanks for the correction. It's been over 3 decades 😅
I loved these cars. In my opinion, it was the best looking Cutlass since 1972.
My granny had one. When she sold it the next owner did an engine swap and started racing it. He still has it.
That car looks like it never left the showroom floor, completely perfect
@alexcallas8222 yes, it looked great, what's so funny???
wow seeing that engine reminded me of my dad's '92 Chevy Lumina
I loved these when I was a kid and knew nothing about cars. LOL! Very cool throwback, though. Bob strikes again!
Those 2.8/3.1 V6's were also notorious for leaking oil from the "distributor" shaft that goes down into the block right about the bellhousing. The o-ring fails and oil pours out. Although these are DIS, the Lumina minivans with this engine had a distributor.
We had an '87 Ciera Brougham. My wife loved that car and we had it for 17 years and 260,000 miles when we gave it to a neighbor who was having a baby and needed a four door. Always a really nice and classy car.
I miss the seats from the cars of this era, so soft and comfy. My parents had a Toyota Cressida and the velour seats were awesomely comfortable
I am from Romania, a former communist country from eastern Europe. Communist regime fell in 89 and Romania became a capitalist democracy. Since 2007 we are part of the European Union and the quality of life improved significantly since then.
If I remember correctly, it was year 96 and life was still tough in Romania, near the apartment building where I lived with my family there was a small garage auto shop run by a neighbour that had a brother who ran to America after comunism fell, and in that year he returned to Romania to spend the summer and he brought an Oldsmobile Cutlass exactly like this. The exterior color, interior color, weels, roof color, everything exactly like this presented here. In a closed up, poor country, full of old communist era cars, for me this was the most beautifil car ever.
I was coming back from school and go to the garage just to see the that car. The neighbour would let us sit in it while he was working on other casr and sometime he would take me and the kids from the block for a ride with the top down.
I am so glad I found this clip with the most awesome car from my childhood.
Nice treat looking back at beautiful Classic Car
I used to be a lot porter at a car dealership and I got to drive all kinds of cars, from a Toyota Tercel to a Rolls Royce. We had an old 1991 Cutlass ride in as a trade in for a new car. It had over 100k miles on it, and it was an absolute JOY to drive! As old as it was, it drove as smooth as a newborn! I actually asked my boss if I could drive it home one night (they were going to wholesale it, anyway) when my car was broke down, and he let me. Fun ride!
I had a 95 Olds Cutlass sedan, in Forest Green, fully loaded. Second best car I've ever had. Only issue I had was when I first hit a pothole in the morning (common here in Detroit), the ABS light would come on. Still had ABS tho. We could never get that problem fixed.
Toyota car care nut yesterday had a video about a 94 lexus. The dealer gave up on. The ecu had problems. They used the parts cannon on it. They put cheap non-oem parts creating more problems. They couldn't diagnos the problem. Just like the car wizard, this guy can find and fix the problem. He also hates cheap parts. They cause more problems.
Parents had a sedan version when I was in high school and although it wasn’t the coolest car to drive, I enjoyed driving it as its performance was awesome.
My neighbor had one of these when I was a kid. We thought it was so cool.
Thank you very much for this video. I was pleased to hear Wizard's describing this lovely car. That is because I have similar Olds Cutlass Supreme vert, but 1993 with 3.4 LQ1 DOHC, one with 4 small square head lams which Wizard talked about. I live in Europe thus Oldsmobile is even more rare here than in the USA. And I am 99% sure my 93 Cutlass Vert is the one and only in Slovakia, my country.
My car is over 160K miles and sure has more issues than this one (conv.top leaking, engine oil leaks, ABS light on ...). It also have issue with side horn buttons. They both do not work. Horn only works when the middle steering wheel is pressed. Still I love my Cutlass and it is really an extra rare eye catcher here in Europe. People just do not know what it is 🙂
Top notch condition for it's age, museum quality. I attended Kalamazoo Valley Community College 2013-2015 for electrical construction and owned a red 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible as my first car, 3.1L V6 and 5 speed manual, paid $1250 cash. Sadly the body was badly rusted from the hash Michigan winters and the top leaked like a sieve, getting a nice drenching while driving in the rain was business as usual and the car began to have electrical problems as a result. About a month after graduating the oil pump went out and because the some of the gauges including the oil pressure guage quit working or worked intermittently, I had no way to know that there was a problem and the engine seized up while on the way home from a job interview. I ended up scrapping the car and brought a 1993 ford ranger, also a 5 speed manual/ 2wd.
I had a 92 coupe with the same engine. It was always a good car, but it didn't have a cool digital dash like this 91! Despite the sport handling package, it handled like a boat. It was very comfortable on long trips. Also, it tended to burn through coils.
I used to have a 1993 cutlass supreme convertible that I absolutely loved with about 70,000 miles and the dual cam 3.4 V6. I loved the engine but it was a pain in the ass to work on. I remember having to do a alternator in it years ago and I never swore so much in my life until I did that alternator. Other than that, it was an amazing car that I wish I never sold. I bought it from my mom when I was 16 and sold it when I was 22. I only sold it because I didn’t want to daily drive it because it was so mint and I needed something 4wd and I could afford to have 2 cars at the time. I do hope to get another one some day.
100% with you on this one. The later 92-94 coupes with the 6 front lights was awesome! I remember taking vacation down to the jersey shore and Avis gave my dad an Aqua blue color that glistened in the night. The convertible looks a bit awkward, but with the hardtop coupes with those six lights across the front, they perfected it.
My uncle had a 30th Anniversary model (he's in his mid 60s now) but it had the 3400 DOHC in it. Babied it, did all the maintenance, still destroyed the headgasket - god it was a gorgeous color combo too tan leather and an emerald green exterior. His cousin who owned a auto repair shop bought it from him and swapped in a 3.1 V6 and drove it into the ground.
I used to have a 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass supreme four-door It had the digital dash leather interior. Power sunroof. Power everything. It had one of those stupid computers and it would tell you how much oil life you have left as well as other information.
When brands had individual design languages. Might have been the era that killed Olds sales but they were making some unique vehicles in this time.
My cousin had one, it was originally her parents car, a black one , a 2 door. It was the same generation, but a few years newer, it had slightly different cosmetic features. I think hers was a 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 2 door coupe.
I Love everything about this one! My mom had a new '92 Lumina and my sister had a Grand Prix that I had the privilege of doing oil changes and maintenance on. Love this era GM cars, fairly easy to work on.
Knew someone who had one. These were really easy to work on and didn't cost so much to maintain past 200k miles. Many of them made it far. Don't see many on the road anymore but every now and then one pops up.
Ah...dang! I remember these! I was a junior in HS and my Father got the 4 door sedan version black on black and had the "brick" cell phone added. Think he only got a year with it as it had gone through 2 transmissions before he asked for a complete new car but at the time, these were lookers...still are!
Back in the mid-90's, I owned an 84 Cutlass. It blew the engine after 6 months so I replaced it with a 92. It's insane computer climate control turned on AC in the winter, and heating in the summer. After a year I traded it for a brand new Honda Civic and been driving Hondas only since (Civic, Accord, 2 Pilots) - GM - never again. Cutlas broke me.
I drove my sisters 93 Olds Cutlass all the time. that was fantastic car, wicked reliable.
Keep Mr Wizard on his toes Mrs Wizard!! Good work!
My first car was a 1990 international edition coupe. Same color and wheels, all digital dash. It was in rough shape with 200k miles, but it was a really cool car
Whoa, core memory unlocked is right! I haven't seen those in decades. That's in incredible shape; will make someone a fun weekend cruiser.
The GM W-body cars may have gotten a lot of criticism, some deserved and some not, but this convertible Cutlass is right on so many levels. I had an '89 Cutlass Supreme coupe as my first car and I loved it.
I "met" a 1994 Lincoln Town Car yesterday with 120,000 miles. I'm just an old-lady passerby but I will never forget the car or the owner and the gorgeous deep-sea turquoise color. It was love at first sight. Turns out the owner takes it on a long trip every year to car shows. The car has a similar "personality" to the '91 Cutlass!
11:17 I had and 86 hard top, absolutely loved it
. fairly quick for the day. I remember my dad traded it back to the dealership so I could buy it from them. He said don't speed. Then on my way to my second job, I passed mom and dad on their way out to dinner when I was running late...lol
The later international versions were really nice!!
I own one of these. A 94’ in bright aqua metallic with a white top and white leather. I brought the car back from the dead after purchasing it for 175 dollars from a salvage yard and I don’t think I’d ever sell it. Right now she’s at 99,000 miles.
It makes me remember my mom's Cutlass Supreme International. Her car was similar to this one but a hardtop with bucket seats in the back and it's own center console. Used to love that car.
I love your reactions to "old" cars that I remember were new when I graduated college.
I think I saw a couple of these (the convertible) back when. One in a teal color. A house across the street from me in the early 90s had a 4dr sedan version parked out front. In a green color. I did like the looks of these cars. Have not seen one in many years.
No way, early/mid 80's. They ruled my high school.
I will say a lot of these late 80s Early 90s and 2000s cars by buick, GM and ford, have found new life as quarter mile cars in Georgia. I watch tons of drag racing from that state and if you love those early 90s 2000s buicks, like this one, lots of them are still alive.
My great aunt owned one of these in Minnesota it floated around the family as a family car and is still on the road I think today!
My grandparents owned this exact model except it was blue. I miss being in the back of it as a kid the seats were super squishy.
My dad had one of these, same year but black and it was a sedan. He drove it to over 300,000 miles and the only thing I remember going wrong was the horn quit working. We lived in California so it wasn't rust that killed it, but I can't remember what did. I think the transmission went. After that he got a brand new 2000 Chevrolet Impala.
Too Funny ..., I owned a late 80 Internal Olds Cutlass .. Over 250k on mine before engine died ! W body . Brake calipers sleeves always seized up. Slight gas leak at tank seam.. My driver cloth seat came apart at the seams from all my driving ... That car was such a smooth comfortable driving car ... Thanks for the Vid 😊
Its such a shame that you never ever see these on the road today. You see more 70s and 80s Cutlasses on the road than these. Sad. Also you never see old Luminas.
Wizard,
You should've demonstrated the unique "beer tap" exterior door handle on that generation of GM midsize cars. Always got a chuckle out of my new 1990 Chevrolet Lumina coupe with this crazy design feature. One of the reasons that Olds had to have a targa-tyoe rollbar on its convertible.
Another great video. Thanks, JJS
I worked at an Olds dealership when those were new, so comfortable. Such a cool car.
That engine opened and I immediately had flashbacks to my 94 Pontiac sunbird convertible v6. POS but I loved it.
This made me smile driving this 90’s jewel!! 🎉Those seats are soooo comfy!
I sold the first 1990 Cutlass Supreme convertible in southern California in August 1990. While I was at a restaurant on a lunch break with my customer's car, another couple saw it and drove to the dealership to buy the other one we had in stock. I prefer the final 1995 year with the new dash, door panels and gauges. I bought one in Washington state in 2005, sold it to a fellow Oldsmobile Club member in 2009 and bought it back from his widow a few years later. I sold it again and now it resides in Denver, Colorado. As an aside, my first NEW car was a 1995 Cutlass Supreme SL Coupe, Cayenne Red in color, traded for a 1997 LSS and then a 1998 Aurora.
My father had a 4 door. I took my driving test on that car. It was a great car. I always wanted the convertible with that amazing dashboard.
I thought those cars were a mistake when they were new, but now it looks really good. Back then I had a white 1971 cutlass supreme convertible. I now have a 1989 white chrysler Lebaron convertible. Both much better looking than this car, but it is way better than anything available now. So simple and elegant. How does Euroasian bob find these gems?
I had an '89, I believe, Cutlass Supreme International Series in high school. Loved that car. Then I blew up the transmission. I'd like to get one of those in decent shape again. Ah. Memories.
That gasket leak for intake is one I have done a few times. It can cause so many problems. With the PCV, it becomes actually a big vacuum leak! It can affect performance, brake feel. So much stuff.
I used to take my 87 crown vic to the dealer and never got turned away. It had throttle body fuel injection
I was blown away like a queef in the wind
I'm 53 years old and shouldn't have laughed, but I did!
Sounds fishy
This car came in a Supreme SL hardtop for the 94 year that was this beautiful minty blue color. I'm looking for that car. This car is one of my top 5 favorite fwd cars.
Which is to say, I wish they'd kept the rwd. I bet could make a bad little 4wd car with one of these and some Honda parts.
Back in 2007 when I was car shopping I looked at an identical 91 Cutlass Supreme convertible in white with the red interior for around $2k. It was in fine shape, drove well, the four wheel discs stopped on a dime plus the original owner had all of the service history. However the door mounted belts were kind of annoying and the interior furnishings had that Roger Smith era cheap quality about them.
I took a pass on it while also considering a later model W-body Grand Prix coupe with the excellent 3800SC. Instead I went for another Thunderbird, a MN-12 95 LX with the 4.6 modular V8 and standard air bags, hence no irritating mouse belts along with most options. It served me well for over 12 years with normal maintenance.
For all the praise the 3800 gets, I sure see a lot of the 3.1 s still on the road relatively speaking
GM10 platform. I found a 1995 Grand Prix for my daughter, only 57K miles, as of today parked in the driveway. There were a few problems, including brake lines, motor that oozed coolant and oil. Someone tried to 'customize' the interior. But the body is really in great shape. Put on new struts all 4 corners. GM 3100 works great with all new gaskets/seals everywhere, Fel-Pro. The 3.4 Twin-Dual Cams are all dead, but the pushrod 3100's keep on going and going.
I agree, the quad headlights had a better look. The 5 spoke wheels and more monochrome look of the later Cutlasses were also improvements. They really really should've been available with Regal's 3.8
We bought one of these brand new in 1989. It was white with burgundy interior, and it had a 2.8 liter engine.
0-60 in 15 seconds, those cars were so slow
Loved these cars!
My friend's family had a white two door coupe. Fully optioned out with captain chairs in the back. I remember that gauge cluster and the steering wheel had a million buttons lol
As an automotive led lighting enthusiasts.
This one needs a good update and give ur more face lift.
This will go well with sylvania led and zevo led ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥make it looks and modern on old skool🤘🏼
That's a great looking survivor classic. I was 27 years old when these rolled out of the showroom
Yes, the Cutlass really looks nice these days. Back in the days I never really appreciated the design, but that design looks really nice. I’ve never seen a used one for sale.
Amazing how GM could screw up something as simple as a horn button... Kudos to Grimes!
This a flashback to the late 60s/early 70s, when they couldn't make the rim-blow horns work properly either - while Ford had no problem with them. I loved the one in our Lincoln, and it was still working fine at 140,000 miles.
Had a '91 international version of this car in college, the space where the coin holder is there were controls for air bladders in the seat that adjusted the lumbar and head rest
I’d love to drive that into the local Oldsmobile dealership for some quality Goodwrench service.
Now that you have been reviewing old cars, I've meaning to told you how good it feels to remember that you can repair a Ford Mustang by installing a simple relay. Or replacing a gasket in this Oldsmobile Cutlass to prevent a coolant leak. This is what I miss from the eighties and nineties. Cars that you can repair yourself with hardware, instead of Volkswagen cheap plastic parts and software reboots.
I had a 92 in 1999 with a 3.1. It was the most fun I've had. Ever. Aside from the 83 2 door Caddy coupe broham I had at the same time. Now I'm old.
I tried to put 15 inch wire wheels, but it's like my lowrider Caddy at the time, you have to grind the caliper unless you want them to poke out with spacers. Man I miss this car.
Love this era of Oldsmobile even though most don't know or care about them. My first car was a 1990 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Regency Brougham and it's by far the smoothest riding car I've ever owned, drove, or even rode in. The 3800 in that car was bulletproof aside from few little senors and crap like that. Really regret getting rid of it and I think it's a shame that GM wound up killing Oldsmobile.
