Strange Looking: 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Aeroback Salon
The 4-door coupe is a crowded segment on the road these days, I can’t drive more than a few miles in sunny SoCal without seeing a new Audi A7, Mercedes CLS, BMW 6-series, or a Porsche Panamera driven by some lady with freshly bleached hair. The Germans might be having all the lately, but it was in American that a luxury brand launched the concept of a luxurious sedan with a fastback roof shape — way back in 1978 with the introduction of the Oldsmobile Cutlass Aeroback Salon (not saloon like the British world for sedan, but salon like the place women pay to get their hair ruined). Find this 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Aeroback offered for $2000 in Vallejo, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Gotta love Old’s commitment to the vinyl roof.
Elderly, retired GM execs, sitting around the nursing home lounge: “I just don’t know how the company could have gone bankrupt…”
Nice price for a solid foundation of a rare sleeper build if you can title it out of state to avoid CA smog requirements. Or you can be financially irresponsible and go the LS E-Rod route and get the sticker. Lots of aftermarket goodies for G (technically A) bodies available now.
“please do not ask me what’s wrong with it”
Well that’s quite the buzz kill.
Well, it needs a built LS series motor and 6 speed transmission swap, of course.
Personifies malaise……
