This 1971 Cutlass Supreme Convertible is When Oldsmobile Got It Exactly Right 

whenever im scrolling through my subscriptions and i see a thumbnail of a car in peter's yard, i know the next 30-45 minutes of my life will be a good time. thanks bill.

I can imagine going into a car dealership and chatting to Bill about a car, 45 minutes later I pretty much forgot what I went into the dealership for 😂

When I was 18 I had a girlfriend who owned a ‘71 Cutlass convertible. The early ‘80’s was a great time to be alive.

I had a 70 Cutlass. Hands down funnest car I ever had. Took all the abuse a young man could dish out and never gave up.

Great to have a second video this week Bill! Always like to hear the weather and humidity, the animal reconnaissance and who stole the whiskey? Best car channel too!

Bill: "I don't want to do any more forty-eight-minute videos!" So he does a forty-three-minute video. 👀

Such a beautiful piece of machinery! My dad bought nothing, but Oldsmobile. Used to say they were the gentleman's hot rod!

What an absolutely stunning machine! I was born a year later in 1972, so clearly curiously classic people like us just aren't made anymore.

"This is just a lovely boulevard cruiser"... Then goes 100 on the freeway. 👍This is how you do it. Thanks Bill.

The side mirror adjuster commentary was spot on 😎

Love me a 71 Cutlass. My dad had one as his first car, and it’s one of my all time dream cars

I was born in 71 and that thing is in a hell of a lot better shape than me

Manson was in fact released from prison (and to the mortuary) in 2017

Just another short and quick review! 😀 You’re the best Bill!

I have a 72 Supreme... love the car more than anything else. Beautiful body and machine. Blessed to have my dream car!

Great way to start the weekend … thanks Bill

You guys are quick! Seeing these beasts takes me back to my ill spent 70’s youth. Thanks Bill, from W Central Fl.

It's not only for the bautiful cars, but also for your original comments I like this channel a lot. Thank you sir!

Finally someone who gets it. 71 is the best looking year. In 1994 I purchased my first car 71 Cutlass Supreme convertible. Dark Green with Light green interior. I was just a young kid and I had to sell it. Then in 2009 I purchased another one exaclty the same. But the second one had to go because of buying a house and our second child coming soon. Now I drive a 21 Bronco to fit my 3 kids it is nice but it will never beat the feeling of driving my 71 cutlass!!

I had a 71 Cutlass w/350 in 78. I loved that car.

Your criticism of Dalton is hilarious. And I love that you show a picture of him while your doing it. He must be aware that you do this… yet he continues to slack on the detailing. He must not care.

My sons mother had a 73 grand am ,455 possi ,loaded !!! Black buckets that turned out ,power sunroof ,first model year to have it .What a beautiful example of a 70,s muscle car ! Cost two hundred dollars from the original owner ,who bought it brand new .it had 49 k when she got it ,show room gorgeous after a good cleaning and new tires .I miss that car ,just being driven in it was a pleasure!

Looking at this gorgeous Cutlass Convertible, brings back memories of the 1980s TV show Full House

25:22 My grandmother had a white on white on white, 1975 cutlass supreme (custom ordered with her initials on the door) and whenever me and my brother would hop in the back seat, the seat would always hit the horn and my grandmother would always jump! Memories!

What a beautiful car. I envy you getting to drive so many different special machines. Great video as always Bill!! Cheers Kevin

My dad worked for John Brown Olds from 1971-1977 and he was allowed as part of his pay to use vehicles on the lot. So, we experienced lots of those cars. The Cutless 442 he brought home one week the drivers seat turned 90 degrees to let you out and in if you wanted to swing it that way. Also he drove home 4 door Cutless and we owned a 1972 Delta 88 4 door. Blue with a dark blue roof. It also had the rocket 350 and we did flip the air cleaner cover to hear the secondaries open. So much fun thanks Bill for the trip down memory lane. Love love love the content and videos! Budlight

Your parents did good. Now we have a friend who shares great and interesting cars with us, and is a good philosopher as well.

I sold my '71 Cutlass Supreme 350 4bbl last week, what a car it was. Sienna paint/Sienna interior/Tan vinyl top. Extremely relaxing ride, yet peppy enough to be fun. Just an all around sweet package. And it was 99% original (one paint job and aftermarket radio), down to the vacuum hoses and spark plug wires. Off course it started leaking all over the place after driving it for a bit, but since everything was 50 years old, that was to expect.

Great work Bill, like always. Not sure about anyone else, I find these videos not just informative, comedic but almost therapeutic.

This has become my favorite RU-vid channel. Bill is informative and funny as hell! I love hearing him bitching about the weather and the animals! I’d love to have have a few beers with this guy! Guarantee I’d laugh my ass off!

My sister had a brand new 72 Cutlass Supreme convertible, it was one cool car, plus she had that for 11 years

Truly one of the most beautiful cars of the late 60's and early 70's era.

Some beauty car lately Bill enjoyed every single one so far keep 'em coming.

Corvette and then this Oldsmobile. Perfect machines. God bless you Bill!

I bought my 71 cutlass S 350 rocket when we were both 17 and drove it for 6 years, best car ever, and now I am the old guy who wishes he never sold it....wtf nice content thanks btw my first car was the 77 Monte with swivel buckets and a 350, you are working your way through my youth thanks man!

Bill, I love your videos and all of the personal anecdotes you include in them. From the wild birds to the miserable weather reports...it leaves me in stitches after a long day at work. I grew up in the 70’s and I love all of the classic cars from the 60’s and early 70’s. I wish that I could go back in time. Please keep bringing us your great videos!

I love it when he is annoyed almost fearful of the birds and animals

My first car was in 1979...a passed down, gold 1969 Buick Sportwagon. It wasn't the Trans Am I wanted...but as dad said at the time... " third-class driving is far better than first-class walking"

Olds Cutless is one of most beautiful cars. Thx

My Dad ordered one of these for my Mom from Gage Oldsmobile in Detroit in the fall of 1970...exact same car, exact same color. His brother, my Uncle, was service manager at Gage. Unfortunately, my Mom passed in April 1971. My Dad then let me take it to college at Emory University. So many great memories...drugs, sex and rock and roll! Had it restored to original condition in 1985 and happily cruised the streets of Kansas City...till a house fire claimed it 1987. It was the only car in the garage, our 2 Audi's were in the driveway and survived. I wish I'd lost the Audi's. Miss that ride! We also had a 1968 4-4-2 which was an incredible muscle car My Dad was a cool dude!

Bill, I've never heard someone with your voice in Gen X, which I am part of (born in 1969). The way you articulate, you sound more like an older Boomer, like a Dennis Farina. That's a compliment, BTW.

Gorgeous car! I love how one second you are talking about the car then in a flash your worried about bird poop, and squirrel attacks! long live the Corona Virus whiskey.

Enjoy your show and absolutely love the unfiltered commentary, even tho some things don’t always fit my worldview. Can’t wait for the next!

Thanks Bill. I respect your carology. No nonsense and great humor!

This guys commentary is unexpectedly golden!

Bill. You do an awesome job. Always putting smiles on both myself and my wife Penny. Thank You so much and carry on. Don & Penny

I just love this guy! What a salesman. Best thing is the weather comments. Keepem comin!

Man you got a warped sense of humor . So do I . Thanks man .

Thank God we have alsome people like you making great videos so we don't have to watch TV anymore.

I don't want these videos shortened in any way...

Thanks Bill Beautiful Cutlass, the old girl has plenty of get up and go.

Beautifully explained, this one is a gem, Thank you

This is Bill from Texas, a love everyone of your videos! Your commentary is fantastic!

"I'm not that drunk"😂 Love ya Bill, nice ride. Thanks for the video, so many of these cars bring back many memories.....I was born in 1968, so we aren't far apart on age. Buddy had one of these, so beaten up, it just kept goin.

Such a bad ass classic car!!! I really hope one day I can get one of these. So cool, thanks as always for sharing these cars Bill! You are my favorite page on RU-vid.

Oldsmobile built the finest GM A-body, period. From '68 - '77... a hands-down winner in all respects. Having worked in the auto business for many years, many of my colleagues back in the day concurred on that. I owned a '69 442 many years ago, one of the few cars I regret selling. The new owner of this one, will love it. Cheers Bill and thanks for the memories...

I was in First Grade in 1971. My dad bought a new Toyota Corona Deluxe that year, a 4 door compact sedan with 4 speed. It was a fairly good car, that dieseled every time you shut it off.

Bill, great job on promoting the Olds. A touch of whiskey never hurt anyone. Be yourself.

Bill, you are one of the most interesting and enjoyable people on RU-vid to listen too. I love the facts of the year of the cars. Very cool. I also have a red 71 Cutlass Convertible like you are showing, except mine has the off white interior and white top. I can attest that whoever buys this car will truly love it. I have been enjoying mine for 22 years. Great video Bill.

I know this vid is a year old, but....I had a 71 Cutlass Supreme SX Convertible back in the early-mid 90's. What a fantastic car it was! It had the 455 4V, T400 tranny.....SIGH....transmission....and was silver with black Rallye stripes on the hood and decklid, had a black vinyl interior with bucket seats with console and floor shifter, and a black convertible top. Also had the rear bumper that was 442-stlye, with the cutouts for the dual exhaust, and the chrome trumpet exhaust tips. Man, she was something! That 455 had GOBS of torque. I don't know what the rearend ratio was, but it was most likely a 3.08 or something like that, and a one-legger. She had the Olds Rallye wheels, BFG T/A Radials, and even had A/C! She was an original California car, and still in Cali at the time, so there was ZERO rust anywhere. The trunk inside was a s clean as could be, right down to the original trunk mat and spare tire/jack. Man, what a sweet ride. Thanks, Bill, for the trip down memory lane. I had the time of my life in the late 80's through the late 90's. It was definitely a PARTY back then! Take care, man.

Listening to Jimmi Hendriz with a pack of Newports. Love it. Bill, you're on top of your game.

Such an authentic good morning routine

That is one sexy car my brother-in-law had one for about 2 years just before he left for the military I miss him and I Miss the car love driving that thing

Your reviews are awesome and you're more humorous and witty than any current or late night comic. Thanks for the Love of cars.

Beautiful car takes me back to my high school days I graduated in 74 so I have a soft spot in my heart for these time period cars but I must say my all time favorite has to be the 1966 Chevelle 2 door 396 4 speed convertible thanks for sharing

Funny thing about the cutlass conv. You could get the 442 options with none of the badging. My neighbor has a sub 30k original car that has been wrapped in plastic as Italian ladies do since her husband passed in 1986. It still has the original tires. White with blue stripe, white and blue leather interior, power top/windows, W30/4sp. I have been trying to buy it for 15 years.

Bill, you are loved by the Lord. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I really enjoy all the automotive knowledge that you have. You have a great radio voice. Have you ever considered doing a Podcast? We are about the same age. I was born in 1969. You remind me of a guy I grew up with. He liked to cuss as well. We are getting older now. I worry about guys that drink and smoke into their 50’s. It’s usually not a good ending. It’s not too late to turn things around. Anyway, I want you to know that the only way you will experience real peace in your life, is to have a relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. This is what I did back in 2012. Bill, I hope you will consider surrendering your life to Him, so you can have the gift of eternal life in heaven. God bless Bill, Mike

You are absolutely great. I love listening to you as much as enjoying the featured cars. I was born in 1951 so these this car has a special place in my heart. My family was s Olds family. Have a great day

Gorgeous car. Also love your reviews. Cheers me up to know I’m not the only one with those views of the world. All the best from the UK 👍

Loooove this car. Tried to buy one when I was 19 (1978) but couldn't afford it. Great job, Bill. Thanks for the memories.

I love your buzzing video Bill, and that Cutlass is A-1 in my book!! I love that a lot!

I was born in 50,in 71 I was still in the Hanoi Hilton in Vietnam.

Always love the 10 minute weather update at the beginning of the video… very colorful:)

I had a '71 Cutlass Supreme SX 455 TH400 What a screamer! I truly miss that car.

Love the show you’ve taught me a lot of auto history that I never get on car shows from tv.

Your videos are excellent, love the cars and your wonderful sense of humour.

Good evening Bill from Ron from Manchester in England. The weather is cold and wet today. Sorry the weather is muggy and the birds are causing you some distress

I really enjoy your reviews of the nice cars. I learn and laugh at the same time. Thanks Bill!!

Beautiful car. It was a shame they retired the Oldsmobile mame plate. Thanks Bill

Great review! My father had a garage full of Oldsmobile cars, from the Cutlass, to the Vista Cruiser you love so much. By the time I was twelve years old (1976), I had already had my hardship drivers license, and was cruising Westheimer Rd., which was the main drag in Houston, listening to a JBL stereo and equalizer through a ton of speakers and amplifiers I had installed all around the car without cutting holes in any of the panels. My secret was that I had two big home stereo speaker towers in the trunk, hooked up to their own dedicated amplifier. It was always a hit and a ton of fun at parking lot gatherings. They don’t make cars like that anymore, and no one cruises like we used to, thanks to anti-cruising laws. It was fun while it lasted, but it didn’t last long enough, in my opinion. Just like the cars. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Im glad to see this car. And the last 2 months of cars you showed us. I was born in 69 so it's been a nice walk down memory lane. Thanks Bill

A chipper Canadian here from Ottawa, Ontario! Love your videos Bill, they're a highlight of my week.

Keep ranting Bill , 30 40 50 60 min , it's all good man , it's knowledge u give alot of times we never heard so , keep up the good work , an if I had money to spend spend , I'd have snatched up many a cars u have shown , but this olds is a beautiful beautiful ride , keep it Bill it's you man , sale your truck man , keep this bad boy

Beautiful Olds you guys have there, enjoy!

Hey Bill, great vlog on this '71 OldsmoBuick fella' - A few clarifications on the year's event history. First, Manson "kicked the bucket" in prison about two years ago. I believe the twisted SOB was in his late eighties. Secondly, the airline highjacker was known as E.B. Cooper not Dan. Hope this helps Yo !💥 💯 💥

Bill, I’m only two years younger then you and my first car when I was 16 was a 1972 Cutlass S! Jealous? Lol Thanks for the memories. Mine was a coupe with bench seat and vinyl top. Just some things I remember. The noisy speedometer. I believe the only speaker in the front was in the middle of the top of the dash. The radio antenna was embedded in the windshield. I only had a 2 barrel carb, so not sure if 4 was optional or discontinued for 72. 72 was very much a carryover. You set your mirrors once and done. The most annoying thing was the windshield wipers. Off, low, high. So you had to constantly do your own intermittent! Oh, and I was one of those punk kids with the Cherry Bomb and no tailpipe setting off car alarms, lol. Even got a ticket for it! And I can agree this is one of the most wonderful riding cars I have ever Been in. Really the best!

Thanks for all you do Bill...

Thank you for these videos Bill. You rock!

The way Bill describes his introduction into the world was hilarious.

You have me cracking up so hard 😂 we get history, hilarious stories, very entertaining, I love it!!

Love your nature and weather reports the most, and the rundown of these great cars! Well, they really weren't great cars, but it was a great era of stuff that was different and not all bean shapes or Stupid Useless Vehicles!

My first car was a 72’. Same car but white interior and white top. The 72 had fake hood louvers. They built a wonderfully reliable and comfortable product. Fast and really good looking too. It was 9 years old when I bought it in 1981 for 999 bucks. I was 16 and saved money for years cutting grass with my grandfather’s business. Memories...

Nice job again and again and again love your videos got my son into them. Born in 70 baby And God damn it I missed the seventies too!

My first car in 1978 was a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme coupe. Sherwood Green with buckets and console. $725. Kept it for nine years. Now I have Oldsmobiles I have owned for thirty years!

Love the videos, Bill. I think that correct, reproduction decals are fine and improve the overall presentation of a vehicle.

I love your RU-vid videos Bill. You're absolutely hilarious, keep the videos coming. 😁👍

Very nice Cutlass!! I once owned a 1972 Cutlass S, 2 door hard top, 350 2bbl, in a metallic bronze colour. It was one of my favourite cars and the closest I ever got to a 442. The biggest difference in those days was how difficult it was to find information. It was like being in the dark ages compared to today. It was really hard to know what was available, at what cost and where. Researching today is so simple in comparison. Over the years, I’ve had a few nice cars, but I think those GM mid sized 2 door hard tops and convertibles were the perfect size, whether they were Chevelles, GTO’s, 442’s or GS’s.

Mannnn I love your vids I watch them all end to end your very entertaining, & this is one of my fav cars keep up the good work 🔥🔥👍🏽

My first car was a 71 Buick Skylark 4 door with a 350. Love the video's, Bill. Keep 'em coming.

It's always a pleasure to listen to Bill's "Corona-Virus-Whiskey-Voice". It's no problem at all to listen to that "CVWV" for hours.
