Fifth Generation (Downsized G-Body) Oldsmobile Cutlass for sale.

Oldsmobile downsized the Cutlass for 1978, and the rear-drive Cutlass Supreme coupe moved to the G-body platform that ran through 1988. These cars are huge today as a clean, light, body-on-frame V8 platform. The 1983-84 Hurst/Olds and the 1985-87 4-4-2 brought back the badges with a 307 V8, and the notchback Supreme is a staple of the drag and lowrider scenes.
