From Hemmings:

Oldsmobile's Cutlass didn't become America's number one selling car overnight. There was a lot of forward thinking as the series line evolved from its humble beginning. Things such as appealing exterior design cues; ample power, with plenty in reserve on the option charts; comfortable interior appointments; sound build quality; and the all-important low-impact on the family budget. And then there was the support crew: the Cutlass S, and our topic this month, the top-of-the-line Cutlass Supreme.

Available in just three body styles, the Supreme line was the only means by which an Oldsmobile customer in 1970 could attain a convertible--reintroduced into the sub-series for the first time since 1967--in Lansing's version of the cozy A-body intermediate. Still riding on the redesigned 1968 two-door platform--meaning a 112-inch wheelbase--the convertible's frame included fully boxed side rails to aid in rigidity. Bolted against the foundation was a GM-standard independent front suspension and coil-sprung rear counterpart. Power brakes (front drums or rotors) and power steering were handling and control options.

Oldsmobile's power team for the Supreme began with a 310hp version of the 10.25:1 compression 350-cu.in. engine, which included a four-barrel carburetor and a dual exhaust system. Buyers had the luxury of choosing a more economical two-barrel/single exhaust 350 that, with its reduced 9.0:1 compression, was rated for 250hp. The single upgrade over the base engine on the option chart was the 10.25:1-compression, two-barrel carbureted, 455-cu.in. V-8 that, at least on paper, was rated for 320hp. Backing these engines, depending upon certain conditions, were the three- or four-speed manuals, or the Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 or Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 (featuring a Dual-Gate shifter when ordered with a console) automatics. The final point of transfer for engine output was a standard open differential, or Anti-Spin option, the final drive ratio contained within varying based on engine/transmission combinations.

The Supreme body was slightly reworked for 1970, most notably the location of the side markers, lack of wide rocker and wheel opening trim and a completely reworked rear bumper and taillamps. Also tweaked were the front bumper, split grilles and hood, which provided a cleaner overall appearance to the front end. Inside, occupants were surrounded by "near limousine luxury" when they sat on double-padded, Moroceen vinyl-clad bench seats, or front buckets flanking a center console. Sprinkled throughout were burled elm vinyl appliqu?s, choice of radio and a full complement of gauges; air conditioning and a sport steering wheel were among the popular options.

Oldsmobile managed to assemble 4,867 Supreme convertibles, priced at $3,325 without options--drop-top production rose above 10,000 copies the following two years--making this 1970 edition relatively rare.

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The 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?

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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.
