1973 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser

That’s one nice Custom Cruiser. Wonder if we’ve seen it before on here.

 

Full power except windows and locks and I bet no power seat and asking 16K Lota money.

 

Also. I would like to see a full interior shot. I don’t know enough about these, but the interior looks like cloth, or some sort of dura-weave. Would that have been vinyl/leather, or was there some sort of nubby cloth available in ‘73 on the wagon.

 

Don't think that upholstery is 1973 GM factory original.

 

In looking at the rear seat, there is also a wall to wall map pocket along the back front seat portion. Is that right too? Not sure. Seems to me Map pockets are good if you have a split seat and can reach into it.

 

I was wondering if this is the one Hullinger had but I don't think it is. This one says "All original paint" (Hullinger's was sold to a dealer who refinished it and oversprayed the original dealer's name on the rear end) and his had fewer miles, this one's at 82k.

 

Vinyl interior was standard in several colors, including burgundy. Cloth was only available in dark saddle according to Olds sales brochure.

 

That one also had power windows, I think.

 

That interior looks more like 1976 era or later (or custom). No map pockets or cloth until the higher end cars of 1975-1976.

 

It's just a small detail but the yellow plugs for the anti rust prohibiter in the doors looks tacky to me.
