There's just something great about the 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S convertible. They have one of the best designs of the era from a GM division that provided both speed and luxury. And this one really hits that mark with a cool color scheme, an A/C interior, and its original V8 that has nice power upgrades. Oldsmobile really got the styling right in '69. The body is sporty with dramatic curves, flared fenders, and a handsome front end that was instantly... recognizable as being from the rocket division. It's not too aggressive in its premium white, and those blue stripes are as chic as they are sporty. The same goes for the classic Super Stock wheels. But what really makes this convertible so attractive is everything fits together exactly the way the factory assembled it nearly a half-century ago. Plus, those form-fitting bumpers retain a mirror-like shine. It's all part of the payoff from investing in a full restoration in 2012. While the blue vinyl roof adds distinction, with the flip of a switch, it folds down and the sea of blue continues. Oldsmobiles were about offering the luxurious extras, and this one carries that tradition perfectly. Bucket seats with a center console, wood appliqués, and plenty of room for family and friends makes for a great classic American droptop. And this is a great driver's machine, too, with the upgraded Grant GT sports steering wheel ahead of the sporty three pod-style stainless steel gauge faces. And because this looks like the perfect vintage cruiser, it has also been upgraded with the right features. The AM/FM stereo with digital tuner and modern R134a air conditioning means you'll enjoy extended time behind the wheel. Oldsmobile people know that a Rocket 350 cubic inch motor is something very special. Olds manufactured their own V8 engines during this era, and they have a robust reputation. So it's great to still have the original block still under the hood. But this one also gives a little more thrust to the rocket thanks to a full Edelbrock upgrade. This includes the four-barrel carburetor, Performer RPM intake, shining air topper, and matching valve covers. Plus, the long tube headers add even more power as they feed the rumbling H-pipe dual exhaust. But this Olds is far more than just a muscle machine. Features like the three-speed automatic transmission (likely original), power steering, thick front sway bar, and front disc brakes continue that easy-cruising Oldsmobile tradition. This is the convertible that fits in everywhere, and has the right features to be comfortably driven anywhere. So don't miss out on this powerful/preserved/premium Cutlass. Call today!!!
