1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible

Description

Oldsmobile’s place in General Motors’ hierarchy — above Chevrolet and Pontiac yet below Buick and Cadillac — often resulted in automobiles that hit the sweet spot between comfort, performance, style, and price. Oldsmobile advertising referred to the 1970 Cutlass Supreme as “an Escape Machine” and waxed eloquently about the economical luxury that it provided its buyers. “Imagine you cruising around town in this sleek beauty. Proud? You'd better believe it. This trim, new personal-size Supreme lets you move up to Olds elegance without leaving the low-price field ... Oldsmobile: Escape from the ordinary.” Most Cutlass buyers chose the standard 350 cubic-inch V8 engine, and these cars are typically excellent performers that demonstrate the qualities and engineering that would drive Oldsmobile to third place in the industry by 1972. Add a convertible top and the escape is even better. 

This 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible, restored to its uncommon factory Aspen Green paint with green vinyl interior as per its Fisher Body data plate, and updated with Vintage Air air conditioning, is ready to escape from the ordinary
