Extreme confusion here. I recently had someone from Hungary follow me on Instagram, and his account has pictures of this car. He says it’s a 1980 cutlass Cruiser. But it looks nothing like the one here in the us. It has a front end from a caprice with an Oldsmobile grill, and an interior from a caprice with an Oldsmobile steering wheel. There is also a badge that says cutlass Cruiser. I am extremely confused here.
Custom Cruiser maybe. With the way parts interchange between all of the B-Bodies you could put something together like that. Definitely not the smaller Cutlass Cruiser based on the A/G-Body though. Most likely it is a Chevy with Oldsmobile pieces on it. The Olds, Buick, and Pontiac had their own dashes in 1980 (if that is the real year of the car). The Chevy and the Pontiac dashes became very similar a few years later.
It looks to me, based on the appearance of the header panel and head lamps, that it might have been a Chevy Caprice wagon at one time, and the owner just wanted an Oldsmobile. That grill is from some other Oldsmobile model.
I agree it does look like a Later 80's Caprice wagon that has had a Olds Grill put on it. Besides the Dash, the other thing that points to it being a Chevy is the location of the electric window switch's on the door panels, as far as I know only the Chevy Impala, Caprice, & Pontiac Catalina Models mounted them there. All the Olds, Buick, & the Pontiac Grand Safari models mount them on small extensions in front of the door armrests. I don't know where the later Pontiac Parisian Models mounted them, just never looked that close at them. Also I believe I see a Caprice emblem on the top of the passenger side door panel.
This thing's got a mish-mash of parts on it. Steering wheel is a Pontiac - just like mine. Chevy instrument panel...or it COULD be a Pontiac Parisienne. That header panel it has though appears to be from an early '77-'90 Body though, based on the head lamp bezels.
