The best-selling car in America the year I was born (1979)!!! This is sincerely one of my all-time favorite cars for a very special reason. The Cutlass is one of those very special cars, like the Ford Mustang & Volkswagen Golf, that is truly all things to all people. The QUINTESSENTIAL everyman's car, if you will. Want a basic run-around-town car that still has some luxury with good gas mileage? Can do. Want a luxury car that doesn't make people think you are about to take them to the cleaners? Sure thing. Want a fire-breathing muscle car that still has room for the family? You bet!!!!!
Come to Michigan I think I have about 62 cutlass range from 80 with dual head lamps 1 year only option 79 and lower had 1 single lamp anyways 80 threw 88 If u ever need parts contact Bruce Hawkins and pmc performance in Warren Michigan
I have a 1985 Supreme! 2dr. 307 V8! Automatic, Dark Blue, Blue Intrier , Half Vinel Roof ! Crome Mags . I love it ! Power Windows, Power Steering , Power Door Locks ! A NICE RIDE!!!!!
I was 6 years old and living in Eugene, Oregon at the time and remember seeing these Cutlasses EVERYWHERE. Very popular car. The music in this video reminds me of the music they played in the dinner restaurants our family frequented at the time. Very fond memories here.
What kind of food did they serve? Fried clam strips? I find it interesting to recreate early 80's food experiences. Nowadays we do greapefruit for breakfast often for that reason. Like Howard Johnson's. And make marzipan cake. Out of style nowadays. Fried liver&onions. And homemade caramel pudding. What else was good from back in the day?
@@Santor- that’s a really interesting question. I’m a little foggy on those kind of details, but I would bet $20 (which was worth a *lot* more back then) that they served things like steak and popcorn shrimp with a very typical American side salad that had round croutons in it. Maybe a burger with big thick Texas fries. I’m sure they had those awful fried clams too. Shrimp salad… maybe something like chicken cordon blu. Fish & chips. Peach cobbler…Any kind of pie you can think of. Typical American fare in those days looked nothing like what it does today. Now that you mention it, it’s really interesting to look back and remember that stuff.
My first car in HS. I had the blue standard Cutlass portrayed in the film. It was a former Hewlett-Packard corporate car and came with CA emissions on the 3.8 which was indestructible. Car taught my 16 year old self how to drive a slow car safely. With 6 kids in the car it couldn't really go over 75! Best memory - at a traffic light when it turned green I got my doors blown off by a VW Super Beetle - LOL. Good times.
I rode in one this exact color as a kid, and I have to say I was impressed! The loud exhaust outside (hole in muffler) could not be heard inside, it was silent, smooth riding, and powerful (5.0), atleast compared to any other car id ridden in.
Very stylish, opulent appointed automobile. That's what an Oldsmobile was. And yes, it was supposed to be your father's Oldsmobile. The brands market was older buyers, or at least it was successful with that market for decades during it's existence. Marketing lesson....you don't mess with what works.
either you trolling or You must be white and feeling some type of way cuz this video ain't got shit to do but the statement you just said ... What would even trigger you to say some shit like that .... 🤔
@@paulparoma right? SMH. If this is what they held up as a great example to film for an ad, well, that speaks volumes of the run-of-the-mill crap they shipped out to dealers.
I would take back my 1980 Cutlass Supreme in a heartbeat. I loved that car.
THE NEW OLDSMOBILES ARE IN EARLY THIS YEAR!! Elwood Blues

I had a 1980 cutlass in high school, I still have my dad's 1978 cutlass supreme he brought brand new.
My best friend's mother bought a new Cutlass Supreme Brougham in 1978. Very quiet and nice driving car.
The more I see these commercials the more I miss these cars.

The 100% polyester track suit sets the tone!

Wish I could find out the music used in these videos.
Listen to the key changes.
I loved =our Old's s Cutlas
Well thought out Commercial,Handled all topics
Gottta hand it to gm they always hire the best ad agencies.
My first car was an 80 Cutlass Supreme.... Good times.
My favorite car forever

I believe it's called "yogging", it's where you just run for an extended amount of time!
I believe San Diego is an old German word meaning "Whale's vagina"
My first car was a '76 CS. I'm currently driving a '93 88. Funny how that worked out.
With a back seat big enough to slay a few dragons.
Somebody should remaster these.
I dont give a hoot about the cars im here for the semi disco jive music
Oldsmobile at it's finest.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Those Cutlas were abandoned by the river after they were pushed there following repeated breakdowns.
Sounds like love boat.
The 305 5.0L would have been the best choice.
Can I get one with a 454 V8, a 5-speed, and t-tops?
Build one.
fuck chev get one with an olds 425
That was back in the day when GM was GM, all 5 divisions proved that, the best cars GM ever made were their cookie cutter cars,I miss em.
Eg marshall.
If you see a car dropped off in the woods its probably hot.
And no one felt guilty about being white. Imagine that.
And a race baiter has entered the chat……

@@Lucille69caddy Dude you immediately expose yourself as a brainwashed sissie.
Malaise Era - GM style! 😢
4:33 look at that terrible gap. GM is making the point of embarrassing American build quality for us!
I noticed that, too. And this was probably not filmed on one take. You'd think someone would have said something...
That jumped out at me too. GM quality!!!!!

@@auntbarbara5576 God bless those unions...🙃
I think out of 78 79 and 80 the 1980 was the ugliest can't stand the front end
Forty years later I've made peace with it and now enjoy the 80s boxes.
Nice great upload boss
