[QUOTE="AlongCameJones, post: 3693183, member: 47875"] It's funny that the rear-drive Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme/Brougham, especially the stylish 2-door coupe, was the number-one selling American car throughout much of the 1980's. I think the death of the venerable rear-drive GM A bodies would be the death of Oldsmobile eventually. The rear-drive automobile era is much missed by me. Probably the best-looking American car ever. This is what the automobile industry still misses most. In 1985, I turned 21. I test drove this car new in 1985. Couldn't afford it working at a hamburger joint as a peon then. $13,500 sticker even in 1985. By the time I got into some good money it was 1992 and I was in the service. This car model had already been long gone with the rest of the A-bodies. 1988 was the final year of the GM rear-drive A body. GM killed this car about 5 years too soon or I got into enough money 5 years too late. This was one boat sadly missed by me. 1985 Oldsmobile CS Brougham survivor shown below. I love that cream color and black 1/2-vinyl top too. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1639813069153.png"]240788[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
