1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible

1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible, click picture to enlarge.

Hi people, I looked and looked and looked but I did not find just the right kind of information that I usually put with these old cars such as tech data, history and other stuff. I did find some material so instead of spending several more days hunting I will use what I found. Even so, I think there is enough here that you can pick out the info you want. So have a great day and enjoy some time with all of these old car pics.

1972 was the last year for the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible. It was also the last year for this body in general. A V8 engine was standard equipment. The 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme coupe and convertible rode on a 112 inch wheelbase with an overall length of 203.6 inches.
Automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes were options
