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.
@user-tb7rn1il3q2 жыл бұрын
@@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.

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.

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.

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.

That "structural bar" is probably there because without it, the GM-10 platform in droptop form would turn into jello.
@jiggity762 жыл бұрын
Cars and Concepts as mentioned by Bill actually really strengthened the structure with extra bracing and such. This made the verts pretty heavy but very strong and rigid. The basket handle didn't really strengthen the car, wasn't suppose to. In addition, there is a front and rear strut tower brace that helps tremendously.

Definitely one of the better cars to come out of GM. Always liked that car. The coverable Cutlass, the Aurora, Bonneville, Grand Prix and the Reatta.

Bill, how could you miss "Amanda" Boston's comeback. Should be able to get that in like 3 seconds - geez, enough to make you want to lie down and turn on the gas. I've toyed with, still toy with getting one of these as a fun, low demand, take it out on sunny days car. Why?, cause I've hit 50, I love buttons over god awful screens, and sometimes I don't want to be in the Boxster. But with the 3.4 DOHC and 4 buckets please. With a tad over 200 hp, it wasn't a poke for the time, and the 4 armchairs were kinda neat. Not terribly expensive even now.

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.

Bill, I haven't owned a car for almost 30 years, with living in the city! But I'm ready to get out of the city! Your videos are the best, The closest I come to owning this car, was my first car! A 1961 Oldsmobile F-85 I paid $300 back in 1971, it was in excellent condition. I would drink a bottle or two of whiskey with you. I'm half Irish so I'm drinking right now! Merry Christmas! F-them if they don't like Christmas!

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!

Handsome front end on this car. I really enjoy Bill's summary of events from the year the particular car was made. If it's not a true, pure convertible, then I think you can legitimately call it a cabriolet.

Had a virtual clone of this Cutlass on vacation in Oahu back in '93. For what it's worth, a very nice ride indeed. Nothing better for blasting Waikiki.
