1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass

 

I think maybe the '68 Cutlass was the biggest selling car in America. This here car is not claiming to be a 4-4-2, which was the hot Olds, but it is nice specimen of what's known around here as a 'summer car', in its natural habitat, the Blue Hill (Maine) Country Club.

There was a 1971 4-4-2 for sale in Searsport a while back. Close relative would be the 1972 Buick GS.  Here at AL, perhaps our favorite Olds is the '59 Dynamic 88. We caught a 1970 442 in the parking lot at LL Bean in Freeport.

And how about this 1958 Oldsmobile Fiesta swag wagon? 1958 was an atrocious year for GM but they followed it with the '59 sheet metal which was, somehow, a whole 'nother story.
