I just seen a sweet ass Cutlass!

Must have been an '81 or '82, black, chrome trim, 2 door, T tops, all jacked up in the back with Keystone rims. Gotta be a Night Ranger concert somewhere. The 80's were the BEST!
Did I ever tell you that I wore a mullet WAY too far into the 90's? :/

My dad drove a '81 Delta 88 back in the day, and my mom drove a Cutlass Supreme station wagon. I thought both cars were "old people cars." If my dad's car did THIS back then, I woulda changed my mind!

81 Cutlass? To each his own, but a late 60s early 70s Cutlass is totally boss.

I had a '72 Cutlass S once with a Rocket 350 in it. Pretty cool car, like a poor man's 442. It was primer gray (originally kinda orangish gold), had fake hood scoops, an eggcrate grill and taillights, fake mags and fake wood on the dash. I paid a dollar a cubic inch ($350) for it and every now and then I kinda miss it...

It looked a lot like this one except for the body rot, the paint and the black landau top that was peeling off.

I had a '69 Cutlass S convertible. My brother still has a couple 80's...I know at least one of them is a 442. Sadly it was mostly just marketing by that point. Still, IIRC Cutlass was the top selling car for much of the 80's.

My buddy had an early Cutlass, gray with 4 doors. That thing got abused. We would get going like 40- 50 mph and jump this reall y steep set of RR tracks. Eventually the frame separated from the body. To this day, he's 40 y.o. and still can't get more than 2 years out of a car. (shakes head)

That's not the one I had, believe me. Mine was in such bad shape (except for the drivetrain) I had to donate it to charity because even the local bikers wouldn't buy it for $250...in 1998
