I would just like to take a moment to curse whoever at GM thought it was a good idea to have three different vehicles with the same name in the 1980s. I think I finally have it all straightened out, but what a mess! -- SFoskett 21:02, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
Can we include mention the 215 was sold to BLMC after the F-85/clones ceased production, & continues to be used by Morgan today? Also, should the ability to swap motors be mentioned in a straight article? An article on hot rodding Olds Cutlasses, yes... Trekphiler 04:42, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Just wondering if that picture I added should be here?
Also, I swear to god the 1977 4 door is the rarest version of the cutlass ever... If my efforts to find parts have been any indication anyway :|
There's a few problems here.
1.) The Supreme was a trim package. 2.) Both these pages duplicate information. 3.) It's confusing what should be where. 4.) GM tried to capitalize on the name of the popular Cutlass and used the same name for numerous cars lines.
It looks like, that at one time, the intent was to refer to the '78-'88 A/G body as Cutlass Supreme, which would be confusing, at best.
I propose Oldsmobile Cutlass cover from '62 to the '97 W body, with the Ciera and N body Calais on their own pages. Dagorlad 04:42, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
No more distinct than the difference between any other generation. The claimed distinction is arbitrary, an F-85 is a Cutlass, a Cutlass is not (if it's not the "right" year), a Cutlass Supreme is a Cutlass (if it the "right" year). I agree the article could get long, probably about as long as Chevrolet_Corvette, if that's the primary concern this page should just be an overview linking to pages for each major variation.

Attempted to clarify the confusing text which described the various Cutlass sub-models in the 1980/90s, and added some pictures for the unfamiliar. IMO, Cutlass Supreme should remain its own article, but the text could be clarified in both articles to describe the relationship with the plain Cutlass.

A friend of mine owns a 1964 two-door convertible and a Google search is turning up a lot of pages about them but that body style is not listed in the Second Gen section body styles. Should I add it or is it considered a sub-style of the coupe? FyreFiend 03:36, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
What causes cruise to activate but doesn't lock in the speed? It also will not accelerate when trying to increase the cruise setting> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.73.230.12 ( talk) 14:08, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

We had a 67 2dr cutlass supreme with the 455 engine, purchased new, so apparently this engine was available prior to 68. The rear of the car was very light, and with nothing in the trunk, and no one in the back seat, it was difficult to start moving without screeching the tires.

Why no mention of the designer series of Cutlass Supreme? My hub and l owned the Bill Blas's edition...a black beauty with camel half roof and interior. Loved that car! 2604:2D80:D410:BD00:90A4:AB42:6A8A:7A6A ( talk) 03:36, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
Did :Oldsmobile make a Cutlass convertible in the 80s I'm seeing a few now and I don't remember ever seeing it back then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1005:B0B2:E416:443D:9267:9A47:9926 ( talk) 22:43, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
I can't find in this article any explanation of what the name F-85 means and where it came from. That's important information that should be added (or made easier to find if it's already present). 38.49.72.17 ( talk) 16:12, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
