1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass Commercials
Cutlass Supreme and Calais coupes received new header panels incorporating four headlights, mimicking the 1977 model. The four-door Salon was dropped due to poor sales. Taking its place was a conventional notchback sedan known simply as “Cutlass,” with base, LS, and Brougham trim levels available. Sister division Buick did the same with their Buick Century sedan (the 1978 to 1980 Centuries shared the bodyshell with the Cutlass Salon). The 4-4-2 package was moved to the Cutlass Calais, and while it lacked the Dual Gate shifter, it was essentially a carryover of the 1979 Hurst/Olds, even having the Oldsmobile 350 V8.

I love the 80 Cutlass, This was my first car that I still have today. I had it stored for about 16 years, put in a battery and a little fuel in the carb, and it started up (after a few seconds of cranking of course). I plan on restoring it, but I am removing the tired 260 cid 4.3ltr v-8 and TH-350 trans and installing a small-block chevy 350 cid 5.7 and 700r4 gen II, but plan on keeping the stock 2.29 factory rear end gears to keep the RPM’s low. I estimate 18mpg city, 28 mpg highway… I hope. :^)
Dont crush em, restore them… “The Bean” :^)
I’m wondering about the wisdom of using the word “Please” in an ad.
