  • Bull Run Region Car of the Month 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible
    Bull Run Region Car of the Month 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible After I sold my 1931 Ford Model A and my 1973 Mustang Mach I, I felt empty. Even though I had Pam’s 1965 Chevy Corvair convertible, it was not the same as having a classic car of my own. Desiring a Rolls-Royce since I was seven years old, I decided this was the time. As fate would have it, I could not find a model Rolls-Royce that I liked and could afford. While scanning classic car websites, I discovered this 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass. A Cutlass over a Rolls-Royce?! Well the Cutlass offered all I was looking for; it was big, I have always loved Oldsmobiles, it was in outstanding conditions having been recently restored, and it was a convertible. Body Style 2-door convertible Engine 330 cu in V8 310 hp Transmission 2-speed automatic Wheelbase 115 in Length 204.3 in Curb Weight 3,440 lb. In 1967, major news for 1967 was the availability of optional disc brakes and the three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic to supplement the two-speed Jetaway. An unusual new model was the Turnpike Cruiseron Cutlass Supreme coupes and convertibles, which used a two-barrel carburetor and mild camshaft with the 400 cu in (6.6 L) engine and a (numerically) low axle ratio for efficient and relatively economical freeway cruising. The Turnpike Cruiser used the heavy- duty suspension of the 442, and was available only with Turbo Hydramatic. My Cutlass was located within 50 miles of my house at a classic car storage and restoration facility in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
