1975 Oldsmobile Omega Hatchback with Camper Accessory
We knew about the Omega and Nova hatchbacks, which don’t really look like hatchbacks; but we’ve never heard of the tent accessory. Given the space available with the seats folded down, this made sense at the time and it’s just plain cool now.

Six-Door 1979 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Armbruster Stageway Limo
Do you want a unique family hauler without too much cargo space? How about an Olds Eighty-Eight with six doors? Sure, it probably hauled families to funerals, but at least it’s not an actual hearse. As a bonus, this sale includes a 1970s child seat/death trap!

Non-Fiero Lamborghini Replica
The seller claims this is an all-custom, tube-frame car with a carbon fiber cockpit tub. Presumably, the body is from a Fiero kit, but we’re not sure. What we do know is this sounds like a lot of work for something that doesn’t work; so a Fiero might have been a great idea. What we…

Oldsmobuick: Old School Custom 1983 Cutlass with Buick 3.8 Turbo Power
Essentially nothing on this car was left unmolested, which is probably just the way the original owner wanted it. Some very odd choices were made; but we respect the use of the 3.8L turbo V6 in this body. The shop selling the car provides very little info, but the engine seems to have a number…

Rare Manual 1976 Olds 442 in Lovely Green
Yes, these 442s and Cutlasses were available with a five-speed manual whilst most pony cars were chugging along with four-speeds well into the 80s. We don’t know why, but we know there’s a lot to like about this big, green beauty. Probably, Olds getting a Borg Warner five-speed had something to do with fighting imports.…

A Cutlass That’s Not Cut-less
Yes, this Cutlass was cut. Olds never offered a convertible version of this generation of Cutlass. As a matter of fact, this entire generation of A- and G-Body never had a factory convertible. That didn’t stop someone from chopping this one as part of a lowrider project that never got off – or on? –…

Cutlass with Batmobile and Plane Influences
Apparently, this was a promotional vehicle related to one of a few high-speed, jet-powered semi trucks. What does a white, Batmobile-esque Cutlass have to do with fast trucks? We don’t know, either. Regardless, this may be the oddest Cutlass extant. This is powered by a GM 350 crate engine, which should do a lot better…

Not Ogilvie Home Perm: Cutlass Salon with Manual Trans
Yes, Oldsmobile thought they’d extend their popular Cutlass into the fastback realm when they launched the fifth generation for the 1978 model year. The result was decidedly odd, although the Cutlass would go on to become the best selling car in 1979. This two-door, manual trans-equipped version was likely rare when new and is almost…

Rare Doesn’t Always Mean Desireable: 1984 Stutz Victoria
Stutz was once a proud marque in the US, but its attempted Resurrection in the 1970s did not go well and let’s just say it did not produce the most tasteful of cars. Supposedly, Elvis Presley bought the very first 1971 Bearcat when the name was revived – that should tell you how subtle and…

Rare Custlass 442 Salon with Four-Speed Manual
This is one seriously rare and odd beast – the ugly “Salon” version of the late 70s Cutlass in 442 trim with four-speed manual! Note: when we say “ugly”, it means we want it. The seller claims to be daily driving this oddity, which bodes well for a future owner – at least is hasn’t…
