1975 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

Not a Olds junkie, but was that sun roof really factory?

 

Yup. That why they could STILL call it a 'Vista Cruiser' and not be wrong. I'm not sure the flip-up glass roof was standard on the '76 Vista Cruiser........

 

So this begs another question. The non wood “supreme cruisers” had this as an available option. So the sun roof is correct. As the seller claims this is an original car, was wood grain delete a way you could order a Vista Cruiser? The brochure indicates Vista Cruisers had the standard vinyl wood grain siding. Inquiring minds want to know.

 

If you look at the chrome moldings, I think this 1975 Olds VC originally had wood grain.

 

For comparison.

 

Yeah. That was my initial thought as well, but the seller is emphatic on the original verbiage. So I assumed he was saying original car, but maybe with a repaint, and removing the wood decals. I know on the early ‘70’s big Mercury wagons they had the chrome surround moldings, minus the wood. Not knowing enough about Oldsmobiles if you could order wood delete, or get them as shown here. Figured it lost its paper along the way.

 

Anyone notice the '67 Meteor sedan next to the VC in the pic above? Must be up in Canada.
