Nice car and a red interior that hasn't turned pink and falling apart.. It does have the incorrect rims on it though, although i like them better.

A twin to the car I used to own! Looks identical, except for the mileage! Wow, 14K miles. The car has been in a time capsule. Mine was a one owner "little old lady" Cutlass with 51K on the odometer. That was in 1998. I really liked that car. :) The burgundy velour interior was the most beautiful, plush, and luxurious interior I've seen in a `70's car. Sold it to help fund the restoration of my 442. I wonder if my old Brougham is still around.

I posted on this car about a week ago. It was bid to nearly $11,000 and he didn't sell it.

I rather have the 73 that sold for $5900.:D

I was following the 73 also... It was nice!

Ok.. someone riddle me this: The rims on that car are from '86 Cutlass Salon?? Just remembering that they were nice, but were they not 14" rims??
Now if I could find a mint set of those in 15" , I would be interested.. as they are really sharp looking on the car. I know Brad has a set on his 442 with the gold painted to match.. I'd think about doing the red to match mine and take a break from those trim rings and purely stock look.

I know Wheel Vintiques sells them in different 14 and 15 inch sizes.

There may be others out there, but I just looked for about 5 minutes. You might look around for some other sites that may have them. Good luck!

The eighties Cutlass all used 14" wheels in that style but you can get them in 15s, besides the H/O and 442, the rear wheel drive big cars used those wheels in the 1980s with the same bolt pattern, 4.75X5, in the 15X7 size, with black painted inner areas and no pin stripe. That's where mine came from and I have pulled two other sets of 15s from 80's Deltas and sold them. Luckily, being in Texas means you can still find them with out rust, curb rash is another matter. :rolleyes: I got them for a change of pace but still have my originals and may run them when I get the car painted.(probably without trim rings)
I paid $80 a set when I found them in the local yards but had to pay to have the old tires removed.

I bought my 77 Cutlass Salon new in the same color but with the red vinyl roof and loaded except for the T-bar; salesman talked me out of it). I had to sell it in '83 to buy a station wagon (three kids with a fourth on the way). I found it again at the wreckers in the mid 90's with front end damage and some rust. I almost cried.
