1962 Oldsmobile F-85 Cutlass Convertible. 1st. Year Of The Convert. Survivor! on 2040-cars
Mountain View, California, United States
Hi, up for auction is my 1962 Oldsmobile F-85 Cutlass Convertible. This very nice first year convertible is in very nice condition. A very nice paint job and a beautiful period correct new interior. Everything works on the car and it runs strong, shifts smoothly due to a fresh rebuilt factory automatic transmission. The design of these cute little cars make them a favorite of Oldsmobile Collectors, but as we know few have survived. The aluminum V8 is a awesome motor and had a long production run- a testament to its advanced design and durability. Fitted with a power top, this fun little car is just the thing for top down summer time cruising. Standard engine was the new small V-8, all aluminum with a displacement of 215 cubic inches (which later became famous as the Rover V8 engine) With a two barrel carburetor, it was rated at 155 H.P. and 210 foot pounds of torque. Transmission was the newly introduced three-speed Roto Hydramatic. The F-85 Cutlass Convertible line-up was added September 1962!! If you are looking for an affordable 60's convertible that you don't see everyday, this is your car! Please look at the detailed pictures I have taken carefully, if there is a specific picture of the Olds you would like to see, please ask. If there is a specific question you have about the car, again, please ask. Feel fee to email me with any and all questions you may have or you can call me direct at (650)400-8836 The Olds is located here in the San Francisco bay area and is available to be seen and driven in person!! This is a neat little car that is a blast to drive. This is a driver, not a trailer queen, although the paint looks great, it is not perfect, again, this car is driven!! Body is straight, and the black body with the white convertible top just sets this car apart. Thanks for the interest, good luck on the auction and as always....Happy Bidding!! |

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
