1991 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser

Looks like a nice wagon. Definitely an eye-catcher.

I like this one. I always favored these over their other GM counter parts

 

White is my favorite color on these, with the contrasting lower third in dark grey......

 

Agreed. Olds had a market that spoke to me with their "I don't need leather seats or electronic climate control or fancy interior appointments, but I don't need base model cheap plastic and vinyl seats either" mid-level trim on this car. Shame they didn't last long.

 

Yes, yes. IMO Chevys, especially the interiors, could come off as deliberately cheesy, and Buicks just too fancy for hard wear. The Olds and some Pontiacs tho would hit the sweet spot of looks and price. America loved the Olds Cutlass many years for this reason.

 

Olds and Pontiacs were great cars for the longest time. Not everything needs to be a cheap beater with a heater or a luxury Cadillac\Cadillac-lite. Leather seats irk me because of how hard they are to keep nice and vinyl just sucks. Decent cloth or velour interiors, door panels that at least have a door pull strap built into them and aren't super hard on your elbows, air conditioning that is well thought out with vent placements, and a gauge cluster with optional secondary gauges. They did this fabulously while Chevy just was... cheap. Then GM didn't know what to do and made them all the same or cancelled them and that's a rant for another day.

 

I prefer the Olds over the others as well. Especially the nose. And the interior as posted. Olds had comfort and options, and clean lines without looking cheap or luxurious. The right balance.

And cloth seats. To me, leather seats are no better than vinyl. Burn you when it’s hot, freeze you when it’s cold. Cloth seats FTW.
