My original owner 1985 Olds Cutlass Supreme Brougham white with dark blue interior is still running. I bought it new in Orlando, Florida as my dependable transportation college car. I still drive it and now live just 60 miles from where I purchased it. Mine came with the landau top, Buick 3.8 and the metric TH200 with locking torque converter transmission. Yes, I've owned and driven it for some 38 years now.
