This is one of those rare designs that I like just as much now as I did when it debuted. Nice lights, a little too much Pontiac cladding, but a smooth and sleek body. The coupes were pretty also.

To put things in perspective, when this car was new the very first Mustang was a 29 year old car. Cars from the sixties were absolutely antiques in the 90's. The only sixties cars that were still on the road in the 90's were hot rodded collectibles. It goes to show how good 90's cars are. I still see them on the road in respectable numbers (despite "Cash for Clunkers"), unmodified and barely maintained, used as daily drivers by people without much money. In the 90's you would rarely see anything earlier than the 80's in common usage. I've always liked the 90-95 Cutlass, and thought the handle bar was pretty cool. It reminded of the one on the 1st gen Dodge Viper. I hope this one finds a good forever home.

@@user-tb7rn1il3q No I think the 90s was peak reliability for the most part. My theory on this is that the 90s were a confluence of good baseline technology (such as fuel injection) but without strict CAFE standards driving the automakers to make really questionable design decisions and over complicate the engines and transmissions. CAFE standards were frozen for a solid 20 years from like 1985 to 2005 and in that time frame reliability and power went up substantially. But when CAFE started tightening you really started to see problems that we are still dealing with today. Perfect example is the active fuel management or similar system. Or low tension rings causing oil consumption. Or oil sludge due to excessive oil temps. Direct injection/turbo issues. Complicated transmission designs. Etc. I would argue that the most reliable engines ever made came out of the 90s.

@@kevin9c1 The facts and my experience do not back that up. Reliability had increased a lot in the 90s, but it continues to improve. I owned a 96 Blazer that was total junk. Hondas and Toyotas were just starting to become reliable, but still had a bunch of issues. I remember people saying that port fuel injection and DOHC engines would never be reliable. A new technology comes out and reliability drops initially, the bugs are worked out, the design is tweaked over time, and it becomes even more reliable than the technology it replaced. There is nothing inherently unreliable about turbos, displacement on demand, direct injection, low tension rings, or low rolling resistance tires. Most manufacturers have figured things out. Warranty repairs are increasingly rare on new cars. GM 4 speed automatic transmissions of the 80s and 90s were anything but reliable. Japanese cars of the 80s loved to blow head gaskets, etc. I could go on forever. On modern cars when there is an issue it’s usually a bad supplier.

@@user-tb7rn1il3q Yeah I think there are certainly exceptions to my comment. But I think it works in more cases than it doesn't. Many equivalent engines got less reliable after the 90s, not more reliable. And I think this works for Japanese, American and German powertrains. By the way, I thought I would clarify that I am just talking engines and transmissions here. Other electronics are a whole other category and frankly that has gotten way out of control.

It’s a fine looking car: love the sinister front end & the linear headlight pods. Olds did a pretty good job on that interior: good rear leg room & a decent looking dash + surprisingly, full gauges. Not a fan of the rear tail lights but the top down option is what scores points. Sleek design overall. Too bad she doesn’t have more horses but then again, what would you really do with them in a front driver? Merry Christmas & happy holidays...

I love That car although I would Have preferred a different color, not really a red car person since that is my favourite car in the world. The best color olds made for that car is the hunter green with tan top and tan leather. I payed $7000 for it. I got it financed with a good small car dealer in California at the time. I saw it at night when I picked up my girlfriend from work at the time and the next mourning I checked it out. It only had 72,000 miles on it. One of the best cars I ever owned. Will buy another one day. A guy burned down my car in march of 2006, so I never got to enjoy it for a long time like I thought I would. I thought I would have that car 4 ever. To this day it hurts me to remember the sad fate my car met at the hands of another human. I will never 4 give him for that. That is truly one of the best times of my life when I got in my convertible and dropped the top and cruise around California.

Great video, as usual. I had a 1995 Olds Cutlass Supreme Coupe. It was one of the best cars I have owned. By '95 GM had worked out most of the bugs with this car. They added a new interior that was more in tune with the Camrys and Accords of the era. Gone were the hundreds of small buttons for everything replaced by simple switches and knobs. They also added a passenger air bag and the seat belts went back to the B pillar where they belonged. I believe the 3100 V6 got a small bump up in HP and torque in 1995. The car was not a hot rod but it moved down the highway confidently on 16 inch rims and Goodyear Eagle GTs (from the factory). The car was definitely the end of an era. Later in the 2000s I would get a last generation front drive Monte Carlo coupe. It just didn't have the same class as the Olds.

Yeah the updated interior was better in 95, but those damn rotary knobs all had plastic housings and just disintegrated over time - I must have replaced like 4 of those.

I love Bill's constant complaints about animals and especially birds 🐦 . He cracks me up about it. Then he hates the warm weather. I think he'd be happier in Alaska. Also his jabs at Dalton's sucky detail work is classic. But overall he gives a great review of the cars he drives.

I echo all your sentiments on the Cutlass Bill, it's a good looking ride. You can't go wrong with a Cutlass, any of them except the four door models in the late '70's. If I had the cash I seriously would snatch that up even in that white/grey *edit burgundy leather, it looked grey.. I prefer the blue with black top/leather. My Mother (not to be a broken record) had a black on black '93 hardtop. I picked the car out back then and later I wanted her to upgrade to the convertible version but the Cutlass was eventually traded off for a loaded '95 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD 5 speed. A fun ride but I was a little lukewarm about it as it was such a small car. I wasn't making the payments so it wasn't my business. Excellent review on the Cutty. 👍🏼👍🏼

Our IT guy had one identical to this one back in 96, and I jokingly asked him if he wanted to sell it to me. Apparently his had nothing but issues from new and his warranty had run out and he said he was tired of throwing $$$ at it. He added that he would never sell it to anyone he knew because he knew it was a money pit. He traded it in for a Honda Accord lolol. Smart man. I still thought it was a cool car and realized it had value as being rare. Oh well, it wasn’t meant to be. Excellent video as always Bill, I love watching all of them and really appreciate your no bullshit candor. That is beyond rare for someone in sales, like you. Keep it up Bill and I’m glad we help you decompress a bit through your KZfaq channel. Hopefully it’s increased your sales a good deal, you have earned it and deserve all the success you can get from this fucking brilliant marketing on your part. Merry HOE HOE HOE to you Bill.

My mother bought a 1994 Cutlass Supreme SL. I was 11 years of age at the time and remember going to the dealer with her to purcahse the vehicle. It was a great vehicle that was reliable with some heavy doors. I bought it off her in 2004 and drove it for a few years before parking it in the yard due to bending the rear control arm on the right side. Great sportly looking car that was a ton of fun to drive. I'd totally buy another but they're going up in price and rather hard to find in good shape.

We had a 1994 4-door (non-convertible) in lovely 90s Teal 😁A very comfortable car with that excellent (Reliable!) GM 3.1 V6 that managed about 240k and still ran when we got rid. Transmission as you would expect was rough by that time! The 2-door was quite a looker in its time and overall this Cutlass Supreme Gen was one of the last distinctly American designs (inside and out) from GM.

Around 2007 or so i was working at a shop we had one of these come in for an oil change. It only had 15,000 miles, and was red with white seats and a black top. The guy said he bought it from the original owner a couple months prior. He said it had a white top, but the prior owner never put the top down. The first time he put the top down after buying the car. It disintegrated and he had to put a new top on it.

There was a lot of abuse heaped at GM for the door-mounted seatbelts. While they looked stupid and were terrible to use as a passive restraint, they were miles better than the stupid motorized shoulder belts in other vehicles at the time, since they could just be used normally as regular seatbelts. Of course, if GM hadn't pissed away untold billions on the Saturn experiment, maybe they could've put airbags in these from the outset and skipped the door-mounted seatbelts altogether. The 3.1 was not a bad motor, though the 3800 was the superior engine in all respects. The Cutlass Supreme also had the best dash layout, as they weren't messing around with the stupid half-width radio controls in the other early 90's GM-10 platform cars. This is one of the better 1st gen GM-10 vehicles built, and this example is pristine!

Or more appropriately, if people had used their common sense and buckled the damn seatbelts in the first place in the 1970s, we might not have had the unbelted carnage in the 70's and 80s prompting these ridiculous nanny safety laws in the first place. Blame human stupidity for the government having to rescue idiots from themselves.

Memories. My grandfather had this car in 4 dr. Form: same color, same seats, dash, wheels. Pretty loaded up for a sedan. He lived in Sarasota so of course it had the required retiree aftermarket “carriage roof” simulated convertible top in maroon to match the interior. He was pimpin ’ hard in that baby. That said, It really was a nice car to drive. Decent enough power, rode nice and actually went around corners ok too. Thanks for the memories!
