r/Oldsmobile

A team led by GM Vice President of Design Charles “Chuck” Jordan worked on its design.

The concept broke completely with the angular and conservative styling of 1980s American sedans, featuring a radical, streamlined body reminiscent of a flying saucer.

Its unofficial nickname, the “Tube Car,” was a direct reference to its unusual, seamless silhouette with smooth, rounded shapes.

I know that it's a Ford, but it looked like an Oldsmobile to me at first.

My 94 cutlass ciera is awesome, it has the 3.1 v6 and floats like a boat down the road.

Can anyone tell me where this wire harness plugs into on the 307 Oldsmobile or if it needs to be plugged in

Have a 83 hursts olds. Lost the key for it. Title is in my name etc no weird stuff. But what can I do

The 1992 Oldsmobile Aerotech was an experimental land-speed and endurance prototype. Powered by a 4.0-liter Olds Aurora V8 engine, this "long-tail" carbon-fiber vehicle set 47 world speed and endurance records in December 1992 at a test track in Fort Stockton, Texas, including maintaining average speeds over 170 mph for 10,000 kilometers.

This is Nick's 1970 442 his dad bought it in '82 and drove it for the majority of ownership. The car went into a form of disrepair and before he could restore it. So Nick and his family decided to restore the car as a tribute to dad. We did a full video on his story it's pretty emotional in the comments if anyone wants to watch it it's a pretty amazing story. The amount of cool old photos they had was incredible because they were pretty wild back in the days!

It's a rarity to see a survivor car of this vintage. Under the tarp that is serving as a temporary convertible top the car still sports the remnants of the original one.

I have a 71 cutlass s holiday coupe. Was originally a 350 4 speed 10 bolt car. I’ve tried digging up as much information as I can on it including who did the engine swap and when and what car it came from. I have confirmed the 445 engine block, th400, and axle tube to be from a 68 h/o. My question is, would it be possible to put down 600-700whp with this combination of work? Baffled high capacity oil pan, high volume oil pickup, main girdle, main studs, rocket racing rotating assembly with +.30 pistons an restrictive crank plugs and a low fill of block fill (up to just below the water pump ports), full rocket racing top end package with head porting and restrictive pushrods, oil return port and polish work, 2-3/4-7 firing order swap camshaft from Howard’s, high volume oil pump, aftermarket water pump, dual to triple core aluminum radiator, Mallory or msd ignition system, walboro 550lph fuel pump, 3,700 stall converter and stage 3 clutch and friction pack accompanied by a aftermarket valve body with the addition of a bump box and trans brake, with a 3:42 rear gear and mossier axles. Suspension wise I havnt really done much thinking on. But ideally it’d be a 4 link rear with tubular front suspension and adjustable coils.

I suddenly became the steward of this little gem.

Not to many of them around here in little norway.

It's held up good trough the years and still looks quite good.

Had a repaint in the 90s, new crate 455 in 2012 and a rebuilt and modified trans in 2018.

New top somewhere between 2000 and 2010.

Today I mounted some octane lighting smoked lights on it.
