1971 was a very good year for the Cutlass Convertible - Oldsmobile sold twice as many as they did in 1970, and it outsold the combined number of Buick Skylarks, Chevrolet Malibu, and Pontiac LeMans Convertibles - cars with a lower sticker price that rode the same platform.
Why? I think it's because Olds got the formula exactly right, with beautiful styling, and excellent choice of engines, and very effective marketing. The Cutlass was the perfect car for people who wanted to feel a bit upper crust, but didn't want to get the neighbors talking. It had quality from stem to stern, looked terrific going down the road, and had a lovely driving quality. This led to sales, and plenty of them.
Full review and test drive of a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible. Vehicle is available at Autohaus of Naples, on the web at www.AutohausNaples.com, or by phone at (239) 263-8500.

The closest i got to knowing about American cars in my youth was buying an import copy of Road and Track in July 1986 and seeing cars on shows like Hunter. I'm more a Brock/HSV guy myself being from that country. His car and general cultural knowledge off the top of his head is intrinsic-like.

Finally someone who gets it. 71 is the best looking year. In 1994 I purchased my first car 71 Cutlass Supreme convertible. Dark Green with Light green interior. I was just a young kid and I had to sell it. Then in 2009 I purchased another one exaclty the same. But the second one had to go because of buying a house and our second child coming soon. Now I drive a 21 Bronco to fit my 3 kids it is nice but it will never beat the feeling of driving my 71 cutlass!!

If someone was working for me and they done a shitty ass job like he has, he’d be fired. Having someone who NEEDS money to pay bills goes a long way, especially if it’s someone who gives a fuck about the type of job they’re doing. Dalton clearly shows he doesn’t pay any attention to detail, and don’t anyone give me an excuse that he’s only one person doing it all, while Bill does nothing; we don’t know that, nor do I give a fuck to care, but that’s neither here nor there. If Dalton wants to literally show how much he cares about his job, then he needs to kick rocks and file unemployment or welfare like everyone else. Either be apart of a solution, or be apart of the problem, either way, he’s becoming a problem right now. Can’t stand someone who wants to be lazy and take advantage of someone just because they’re, ‘a decent person’. 😒

I sold my '71 Cutlass Supreme 350 4bbl last week, what a car it was. Sienna paint/Sienna interior/Tan vinyl top. Extremely relaxing ride, yet peppy enough to be fun. Just an all around sweet package. And it was 99% original (one paint job and aftermarket radio), down to the vacuum hoses and spark plug wires. Off course it started leaking all over the place after driving it for a bit, but since everything was 50 years old, that was to expect.

My dad worked for John Brown Olds from 1971-1977 and he was allowed as part of his pay to use vehicles on the lot. So, we experienced lots of those cars. The Cutless 442 he brought home one week the drivers seat turned 90 degrees to let you out and in if you wanted to swing it that way. Also he drove home 4 door Cutless and we owned a 1972 Delta 88 4 door. Blue with a dark blue roof. It also had the rocket 350 and we did flip the air cleaner cover to hear the secondaries open. So much fun thanks Bill for the trip down memory lane. Love love love the content and videos! Budlight

My Dad ordered one of these for my Mom from Gage Oldsmobile in Detroit in the fall of 1970...exact same car, exact same color. His brother, my Uncle, was service manager at Gage. Unfortunately, my Mom passed in April 1971. My Dad then let me take it to college at Emory University. So many great memories...drugs, sex and rock and roll! Had it restored to original condition in 1985 and happily cruised the streets of Kansas City...till a house fire claimed it 1987. It was the only car in the garage, our 2 Audi's were in the driveway and survived. I wish I'd lost the Audi's. Miss that ride! We also had a 1968 4-4-2 which was an incredible muscle car My Dad was a cool dude!

Oldsmobile built the finest GM A-body, period. From '68 - '77... a hands-down winner in all respects. Having worked in the auto business for many years, many of my colleagues back in the day concurred on that. I owned a '69 442 many years ago, one of the few cars I regret selling. The new owner of this one, will love it. Cheers Bill and thanks for the memories...

I know this vid is a year old, but....I had a 71 Cutlass Supreme SX Convertible back in the early-mid 90's. What a fantastic car it was! It had the 455 4V, T400 tranny.....SIGH....transmission....and was silver with black Rallye stripes on the hood and decklid, had a black vinyl interior with bucket seats with console and floor shifter, and a black convertible top. Also had the rear bumper that was 442-stlye, with the cutouts for the dual exhaust, and the chrome trumpet exhaust tips. Man, she was something! That 455 had GOBS of torque. I don't know what the rearend ratio was, but it was most likely a 3.08 or something like that, and a one-legger. She had the Olds Rallye wheels, BFG T/A Radials, and even had A/C! She was an original California car, and still in Cali at the time, so there was ZERO rust anywhere. The trunk inside was a s clean as could be, right down to the original trunk mat and spare tire/jack. Man, what a sweet ride. Thanks, Bill, for the trip down memory lane. I had the time of my life in the late 80's through the late 90's. It was definitely a PARTY back then! Take care, man.

Bill, you are loved by the Lord. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I really enjoy all the automotive knowledge that you have. You have a great radio voice. Have you ever considered doing a Podcast? We are about the same age. I was born in 1969. You remind me of a guy I grew up with. He liked to cuss as well. We are getting older now. I worry about guys that drink and smoke into their 50’s. It’s usually not a good ending. It’s not too late to turn things around. Anyway, I want you to know that the only way you will experience real peace in your life, is to have a relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. This is what I did back in 2012. Bill, I hope you will consider surrendering your life to Him, so you can have the gift of eternal life in heaven. God bless Bill, Mike

My mom had a 71 with the front bench seat and the shifter on the column it didn't have those sporty mirrors but it did have a remote passenger mirror adjustment. The color was blue and the seats were as well. My parents ended up giving the car to my brother which he totally restored installed those sexy rally wheels and once he got rid of the biased ply tires and put radials on it it drove like a new car. It has a white top too along with a blue boot

That was the top of the line for 1971. RH remote mirror didn't come out until the 1974 model year for most of the GM divisions. Cadillac had it earlier . The early 70's were great and the cars were fun to drive.. I miss Oldsmobile, they were dependable and fun to drive., that was the original factory 8 track player. Our 68 Olds had one.. Our 71 Olds had it in the radio.

Great review! My father had a garage full of Oldsmobile cars, from the Cutlass, to the Vista Cruiser you love so much. By the time I was twelve years old (1976), I had already had my hardship drivers license, and was cruising Westheimer Rd., which was the main drag in Houston, listening to a JBL stereo and equalizer through a ton of speakers and amplifiers I had installed all around the car without cutting holes in any of the panels. My secret was that I had two big home stereo speaker towers in the trunk, hooked up to their own dedicated amplifier. It was always a hit and a ton of fun at parking lot gatherings. They don’t make cars like that anymore, and no one cruises like we used to, thanks to anti-cruising laws. It was fun while it lasted, but it didn’t last long enough, in my opinion. Just like the cars. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

the Cutlass is the car I learned on 'ie drivers ed' Eisenhower highschool had one with a brake pedal on the right side - and he did use it on me coming to railroad tracks. That Cutlass had insane power for a drivers education car. It was touch the the throttle and boom she rocketed away like the damned thing had no weight - which it had plenty of including the other 4 or 5 high school students. And my girl Liz had one in the family. A beautiful baby blue with a white vinyl top. She got to drive it around and I got to ride along because she liked me more than my best friend. Thanks Bill for this video on the Olds - damn I miss Oldsmobiles!

My first car in 1978 was a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme coupe. Sherwood Green with buckets and console. $725. Kept it for nine years. Now I have Oldsmobiles I have owned for thirty years!

A number of years ago, a buddy of mine had a 1971 Cutlass CV and I was fortunate enough to have two 1972 Cutlass Supreme coupes. Favorite cars I've owned by a long shot and for many reasons... styling, comfort, power, ride, attention and more. Deals like I made to get those don't exist anymore.

Hey Bill, great vlog on this '71 OldsmoBuick fella' - A few clarifications on the year's event history. First, Manson "kicked the bucket" in prison about two years ago. I believe the twisted SOB was in his late eighties. Secondly, the airline highjacker was known as E.B. Cooper not Dan. Hope this helps Yo !💥 💯 💥

Bill, I’m only two years younger then you and my first car when I was 16 was a 1972 Cutlass S! Jealous? Lol Thanks for the memories. Mine was a coupe with bench seat and vinyl top. Just some things I remember. The noisy speedometer. I believe the only speaker in the front was in the middle of the top of the dash. The radio antenna was embedded in the windshield. I only had a 2 barrel carb, so not sure if 4 was optional or discontinued for 72. 72 was very much a carryover. You set your mirrors once and done. The most annoying thing was the windshield wipers. Off, low, high. So you had to constantly do your own intermittent! Oh, and I was one of those punk kids with the Cherry Bomb and no tailpipe setting off car alarms, lol. Even got a ticket for it! And I can agree this is one of the most wonderful riding cars I have ever Been in. Really the best!
