My first car I brought in 1978 was a 1972 Oldsmobile 98, two door hard top in black and silver the inside was black vinyl interior seats it had powers seats, powers windows, power locks, power truck button, and AM & FM Radio with 8 Track Tape player with a 455 engine 4 barrel carburetor I remember putting 10 dollars of gas it would give me 16 gallons Thank You for posting.

I love how the 350 was the moderate, money saving motor

The 1972 Olds 98 that I owned once upon a time shall never be forgotten. Absolutely the most beautiful car I ever had.

I love Oldsmobiles! These are so beautiful 😍

Osborn - you did a fantastic job putting this all together, just great!

The Olds Cutlass was the biggest selling car in the 70s.

The license plates saying "olds" is such a nice little touch

Thank-You For The work to bring this film to the you tube .

The Cutlass became the unadulterated favorite throughout the decade!

5:38 Olds full size cars (and Buick's too in the same era) had driver oriented IPs. Every thing was in front of you, no reaching over to the other side of the dash, and no dang "center stack of confusion" like today's cars and space wasting "consoles". The focus was on the DRIVER, as it should be in a CAR! 😊

Had a 1970 supreme white black vinyl top thanks for the memories ( Doug in GA ) great car

That 98 had me drooling! Memories of all these olds on the streets when I was a kid.

As time marches on and we move further and further away from beautiful luxury machines like that Ninety-Eight, I become sadder and sadder. I recently sat outside my house and watched the traffic on the highway for about an hour. Hundred and hundreds of cars drove by, and not a single one of them was attractive or luxurious.

Great video for great cars! Since GM killed the Oldsmobile I became a Ford fan. I grew up with several Oldsmobiles and the Delta 88 was my favorite. Thanks for posting.

In my estimate, I'd need 2 parking spaces in my Condo's underground parking to park a Olds 98!!!

Sad that General Motors killed the Oldsmobile.

What a buffet!! Thank you for this. I had no clue they retooled the song "Raindrops..." for their campaign 💙

The 98 was a beautiful car. I use to love GM cars, owned a 76 Buick Electra 225, 73 Chevy Classic (my favorite) 76 Pontiac Grand Prix, 79 Regal Buick, 82 Eldorado Cadillac (worst car I ever owned) and much much more. Slowly but surely I noticed that I was spending more time in repair shops then I was, enjoying these cars. I realized GM was screwing it's loyal customers, so I decided to go foreign, temporarily. Till GM got it's act together, by building more reliable cars. But after owning a foreign car I never went back to GM. My last was a 1976 Monte Carlo. Today GM is planning to sell trucks only. Claiming cars don't sell as well in todays market. Not true! The fact is that GM can not compete with foreign cars, PERIOD. Today people have realized what I realized decades ago. At the time people tried making me feel guilty by saying I should buy American. My response was " when GM learns to respect it's loyal customers by building cars worth my hard earned money I'll buy them again" other wise they can kiss my ass! Today it has all backfired on them, as they struggle daily to keep their heads above water as more and more people abandon them. I am however realizing the same thing I realized with GM, in that the last of the best foreign cars built was up to 1995. Reliability has been slowly but surely declining, ever since. Yet the prices continue to sky rocket to the point that they too are not worth buying. Bottom line is that we the American people are getting screwed on the daily basis with higher prices for increased garbage. Foreign and domestic, alike!! Today money has become the God of greedy pigs who will stop at nothing to rob it from us.

Damn you General motors. Give me all these 72 olds

excellent work and thanks for sharing

I don't own an oldsmobile but I have a 72 pontiac catalina coupe I saved from a junkyard I'd like to have that red oldsmobile cutlass s that would be sweet. Long live oldsmobile and pontiac.

Nifty little car! Love the rear taillights

to drive one of them new!!! how i would had love that!!! i was only 7 in 72

I had a "1976" 98 the last year of the big 98s in my opinion the nicest looking in burgundy red

カッコいいねぇ👍😉🎶美しい🎶😉👍素敵ですねぇ。👍😉🎶✨ 、

I always loved these old commercials. "Oldsmobile, new for 1972" lol

I remember when B pillars were optional.

R.I.P. Oldsmobile.

No, sorry, I don't. I upload what I find as soon as I find it and convert it.......I'm always looking so maybe in the future I hope, subscribe, you never know!

Ahhhhhhhh, the bench seat and ashtray.

My grandmother had a 72 88 Royale. Best car ever.

i bought a 72 88 royale 455ci brown 4 door, that was a real car, i buried the speedometer at 120mph. torque monster. very smooth well built car.

It gets the name "88" because that's the length, in feet.

Early 70's full sized olds are beautiful cars

E X C E L L E N T Video!!!!

Back when you could get a car in colors besides black, silver, white, and dark red - and when you could get an interior other than black or ... black?

The Cutlass models sold very well into the 1980’s as well. I’m not sure where GM went wrong with them. Just too much badge engineering I suppose.

Those were the days someone please tell me they invented a time machine so I can go back to a bygone era so so sweet yeah I know there was problems then too but I don’t like things going on now in the present so vica versa hither tither & yon

The dashboard on that '72 Cutlass is just niiice!

I miss our olds 98 coupe

I had a 1970 cutlass supreme sx, see ring yellow with White vinyl top, and White interior with consol. 455 dual exhaust. 400th. I put A holley 4 barrel on it. Blue printed the motor, repainted and restored the whole car. I loved it. But somebody desided to put the car at fire one night.10 years ago. So there it went. Bought a 69 Corvette and a 99 camaro z 28 for the insurance money. Regretted the Corvette, changed it for a 71 Impala conv, with a 454.still miss that olds.

Hello Do You have similar stuff for the 1978 line up?

I had a 72 Delta 88 in college for a while, Rocket 350 2bbl., think I paid a few hundred bucks for it. I remember walking on the hood and over the whole body from stem to stern. Lots of steel there. I took the air cleaner off while it ran to listen to the sucking sound it made as I revved it up. Wasn't a very fast car, and boy did it suck gas, but it was a tough old beast. I hit a deer once and it didn't even leave a dent in the bumper. I remember removing one of the massive turn signal lenses in the front and OMG it was huge. Fun times.

The luxurious rocket 🚀,a wild combined combination of big car room and stylish but commanding presence and a big block short block engine that was more than capable of hurling a big 4600lb/coupe or4700lb sedan like midsize cars regardless of horsepower, upgrade the entire engine and all I can say is hold on for dear life my friend, because then you'll have a rocket 🚀 that's hard to control.

I prefer the formal roofline on the Cutlass models.

lol that instrumental playing that's Shirley Bassy song where Do I begin playing for the 98 commercial lol it was a big hit for her that year! in 72 lol

Yes, you to may be able to actually afford this car. Because we actually employ people here stateside!

The Osborn Supremacy, featuring the Cutlass Supreme

there was a time when they showed you and informed you about a car in a commercial, now they photograph it artistically and give it a stupid name

"But there's one thing I know, 5:20 the blues they send to meet me won't defeat me, It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me ;) "

"15 exterior colors" . . . just imagine!! What have advances in paint technology brought us 45 years later? Choices of black, white and a few shades of gray, even for a 60,000 plus dollar car. Pathetic! But 1972 must have been a difficult year to push car sales, with engine outputs almost cut in half vs. 1971 models, which were essentially identical cars with much better performance and fuel economy.

The 1971-72 98's seemed to be "channeling" the 1960 Cadillac. An early example of intentional "retro" styling?

6:58 someones gonna get some...

Where can I order one?

Do you have the olds line for 1973? One of my favorite cars ever is a 73 cutlass supreme

Grandpa had a string of ‘98’s.

Hey!!! Where's the top of the line,the personal luxury coupe; TORONADO, if you can see me NOW!!!!!

Where are the wagons? It was the last year for the "real" Vista Cruiser, and the clamshell tailgate Custom Cruiser was still the talk of the wagon buyers because of its tailgate, its immense size and its immense towing capacity.

Hum...9:13 he said .."computer selected Springs"...in 1972?....computer?

I knew wrestler Chief Jay Strongbow, he had a loaded 1972 98. I thought he would be more of a Pontiac guy.

7:26 We had a Green one.. This car fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These were great Cars! Then after 73, they became overweight and underpowered....

Nice but I was hoping for the whole lineup including Toronado....and I guess the Nova-based Omega came later?

When did you hear about these cars being riddled with transmission problems well before 100000 miles!?!? Never!!!!

Insurance cost

Buick would use "Little Limousine" to describe their FWD X-Body Skylark abut a decade later.

If you were working a decent job. You could afford most any American Mid or Large Car. Also afford to fuel them.

❤I ilke it. ❤

Eighty Eight was probably best bang for the buck

I'm a Buick man...however I sure miss Oldsmobile and Pontiac/🙄

Nothing on the Toronado

Awful young couple buying the 98. The market for the 98 were in their 50 and 60's

IMHO the olds 350/455 engines way better than the Chevy 350/454, respectively....Way better.....

You could get a higher trim Plymouth Fury with a better-looking, more substantial interior than that for a much lower cost. And the '72 Dodge Royal Monaco was gorgeous outside and in. Chrysler ruled the late '60s and early '70s as far as style and value, IMO.

All the GM cars of that era were oversized battle ships. I had a 1973 Chevrolet Caprice and it was just over sized and one of the worst cars I ever had. GM did the right thing by downsizing their cars in 1977. As the 1977 Chevy commercial said “Now that’s more like it “
