Just so happens that I've been watching a lot of old 1980s Motorweek episodes on YouTube, and last night I watched the one on the 1985 Cutlass Supreme 2 Dr. Holy shite, there was loose rocker panels, missing/torn trim, bad paint in spots. Just a mess.

My sister had one from that model year. A V6 model. Got it when she graduated from LSU.

I have one. It was neglected for years when I got it as my first car. I kept it after Hs and recently refurbished it. Love it.

I loved that year-particularly the 442.

Anything GM made in the eighties was a POS.

I’ll tell you what, I love American cars, but those cars rattled like shite. Literally, when you bought it, you would make an appointment to come back in and fix shite that was broken.

I just gave away a 1988 V8 Broughm that belonged to my Mother in Law. She bought it new and took great care of it. It has 84k miles on it. I gave it to a relative that wanted to restore it all original and use it as a cruising car. It was a cool car but, I was damned glad to get rid of it.

The A/C system had slow leak, one can of Freon would make it work for 3 days.
Had a 70 Cutlass S also, coupe, red with black vinyl top. Loved that car BUT the a/c went out every couple of years (started in the mid-70s).

I had a 79 Cutlass Supreme. Bucket seats. Had the small engine. Had bucket seats and shift in the floor. Loved that car.

Had a '77 Supreme with the 350 that drowned in the May 3rd flood in New Orleans. Unfortunately, the design downsized for the next model year, but bought it anyway!
Both were fine autos!

I much preferred the Oldsmobile designs over the Buick designs. Even into the 1990s, the Aurora and Intrigue looked better than the LaSabre and Regal. IIRC, the Aurora had a 4.0L V8 when the Buicks had a supercharged V6.
