The Cutlass - also known as F-85 - by Oldsmobile was built from 1961 to 1999. An impressive 38 years during which six generations were built that each represent American power and automotive engineering at its finest. Only US car manufacturers manage to extract a lots of pure power output from a naturally aspirated, large engine block, that's what they are renowned for. Around that natural power, there is a cool body that shows the testosterone-boosting capability and charisma this car emerges.
Oldsmobile had been known as the smart car manufacturer; they had a knack for finding gaps in the market and filling them up. They came up with innovative ideas and were determined to be pioneers in various aspects of the automotive world. They had ‘exported the first American car ever’ in 1901, were the first automaker to purchase parts from third-party suppliers, and introduced a production car with a turbocharger, to name just a few milestones. However, when it came to designing the Cutlass, they wanted to bring an entry-level model to the market so that everyone could enjoy Oldsmobile cars. This entry-level model would eventually become a sub-brand of Oldsmobile: the Cutlass.
The Cutlass is a fun and affordable classic car with pure American spirit. Particularly, the first three out of the six generations are adored by enthusiasts.
Oldsmobile Cutlass Second Generation
After a somewhat lacklustre first generation, it was time for Oldsmobile, under General Motors, to finally hit the bullseye. They refined their first-generation Cutlass to what would turn out to be, as mentioned before, a bullseye hit in 1964. Ultimately, it had to withstand competition from Ford's rival model, the Fairlane.
The second-generation Cutlass undergoes some dimensional stretching; it becomes longer, including an extended wheelbase. Oldsmobile offers an optional 2-speed automatic transmission and provides a Buick straight-six engine as default, with upgrade options to quintessentially American V8 engines. In 1965, despite good sales, the Cutlass receives its first minor facelift with few changes. Once again, the car becomes slightly longer, and the engines become more powerful. In 1966 and 1967, the Cutlass undergoes further updates, with only minor details being changed. In 1967, an eponymous successor is launched.
The second-generation Cutlass undeniably exudes toughness and reflects a significant part of American automotive history. Additionally, the engine is solid, indestructible and very powerful.
