1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham
This car is not what you think of when you think "Cutlass".
This strange mule is just the sort of hidden classic that should be celebrated:
- The clever little vent window in the rear door, to make up for the fact that the larger window does not roll down.
- the odd collision of style -- a front end looking like a full sized Olds, the backend still looking like a Cutlass.
- the long rear overhang, which still looks small because the front looks full sized.
- the small looking wheels, tires and exterior mirrors.
- the pillow like seats trying to communicate luxury.
Yet the formal roof line is not awful, and they tried to add some class with the accent lights on the "C" pillars. And the shut line of the rear door blends into the fender bulge.

1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
In the same spot at the same time as another GM product from a while ago. This was the second time I've seen this car, and it's owner -- a nice guy.
Love the formal roofline, the way the vinyl in the roof traps dirt & moss into patterns, and gradually peels from the metal, the very long rear overhang. And how there needs to be a thin chrome strip surrounding everything. The door that covers the fuel cap is behind the licence plate. I thought that sort of detail disappeared in the '70s for safety reasons.

1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Not sure if it is uneven paint or uneven dirt that makes the left fenders so much lighter in colour. But the tires seem perfectly clean. Love the script used for the badge, and the way the rust/mould has surrounded and obscured it. Plus that profile -- very sporty for what amounts to a mid-sized, mid priced sedan.
