Factory moon roof on a Cutlass?

[texxas8902]

I don't think I have ever seen a Cutlass with a factory moon roof. My mind wants to recall a 76 or 77 Supreme with one but I don't trust it anymore. I have seen Grand Ams, Grand Prixes and a 76 Monte Carlo that had a power moon roof, just like the one on this Grand Am. I've seen several 77 Can Ams with it.

Has anyone ever seen one on a Cutlass? I know Olds had the Vista vent early on, 73-74,75?

I've never seen one in person that I can recall. I did see a 76-77 with one on the net, probably the same one you [can't :D] remember, whether it was actually factory installed I don't know.

I'll contact the Heritage Center on that ?. All those Pontiac guys have PHS documents.
We Olds folks suffer with no good history archivest anylonger.. never fails we get the short end of the stick on documentation.
If I remember there was someone back about 15 years ago who used to do it for REO Olds Center.. Helen Early?? My mind slips in its age!!
So I will email someone at the heritage center and see if someone will get me an answer .

In the registry is a 73 H/O of a members car. I have seen a few in pictures of 73's but don't remember any years after that.

Not sure if its factory or not, but looks like it could be!

I have a 1976 Astroroof service manual that shows it was an option in 76 for the 88 98 and tornado models but looking at the pictures above it may seem that they put some on a cutlass. Here is a picture of the manual.

I'm pretty sure that's the car I've seen on the net, sure looks like a factory roof to me, possibly dealer installed? The control switch, access plug match up exactly like the one in the service manual ravinwolf posted.

I remember seeing these pictures before. I'd say that is a factory install. It makes me think the blue 76-77 Supreme I remember isn't a figment of my imagination.

I contacted Olds one time about a car and they told me most of the documents for our cars were lost in a fire, so they dont have much to offer.
