1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible

Description

For 1966, Oldsmobile's Cutlass sat atop the F-85 lineup as the V8-powered, better-equipped variant, offered across coupe, sedan, wagon, and convertible body styles. The Cutlass convertible paired mid-size proportions with an available power-operated top, making it a popular choice among buyers wanting open-air cruising with a bit more presence than the base F-85.

Acquired by the seller in 2013, this Cutlass convertible is said to have originated in Arizona and is finished in a burgundy red exterior with a white top and matching white interior, featuring front bucket seats and a power top.

Equipment on this Lansing, Oldsmobile-built example includes a 330ci engine coined the “Rocket” V8, an automatic transmission, power steering with a Saginaw steering box, power brakes, and color-matched 14” steel wheels chrome bright trim rings.

Following the seller's acquisition, a retro-style modern radio and a stainless steel dual exhaust system were fitted.
