1989 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Station Wagon

[sarstoon]

Nice car, seems very well equipped. I've got the same kit on my 89 Electra Wagon. Awesome cruising car! Nice video too!

@sarstoon Thanks! It's always good to hear from other wagon owners!

I have an 1988 Olds Custom Cruiser gun metal grey with the woody tape lite blue cloth inside, thinking about selling it( sdc7566@lausd.net) current registration

Nice car Mike! Does it have "throttle-body" injection? If so, that's why you didn't have to pump that big gas pedal to start it! I just don't like the fact that the rear-side windows don't foll down all the way. The controls on the rear-view mirror might be an auto-dimmer(reflective) for it, or an outside temperature gauge and maybe a compass. I have many old car catalogs from the '50's on! Don't forget to be prepared for the high gas cost for the car if you do buy it. (:

How sad is it that I drive a Lincoln and I'm drooling over a station wagon?

[MikeGuy993]

@PianoShapedObject There are all sorts of good cars out there!

[PianoShapedObject]

@MikeGuy993 I've actually had two of these and loved them but when my '91 Cruiser was totaled I couldn't find another. Even the rusty ones are getting hard to come by in my area. I've only seen one this nice in a long time and the guy wasn't interested in selling it and I couldn't find any Delta 88s either. If you're going to get rear ended this is a great car for it. I drove away and the other car got towed on a flatbed.

[MikeGuy993]

@PianoShapedObject Yeah they are very strong cars. And believe it or not I was driving it the other week and saw another one exactly like it. It is a shame that a lot of these cars have been mistreated and taken to derbies. Thanks for the comment and subscribe if you like, I am going to start making more videos of it soon!

@MikeGuy993 At least one of my past Cruisers ended up as a derby car. It doesn't bother me, I knew the car was done for so if it was going to end up cubed anyway better to be stripped for parts and go out with a bunch of huge bangs than just whimper while being squashed. One last blaze of glory. Wagons that are still good are different because then its just a waste and lack of appreciation.

Is that a factory radio? Looks new but I'm more a 1950's - 1970's car guy...

Retro

[MikeGuy993]

@RetroVintageItems27 Yes, it is factory, but it is in very good shape, the sound is really clear

[TheZach543]

Does it have anti lock breaks?



[MikeGuy993]

@TheZach543 No it does not, and I'm not sure if that was available for the time or not

huoww!! Congratulations my friend!

I love Olds'mobile and the Custom Cruiser is my favorite! I'm Brazilian, unluckily here never see this car! I hope that in my traveling for USA in 2012, I can see this classic. I agree with you " is America's original family car" Misses the 80's and 90's....

Do you have Facebook? Add me (Lucio Cozin) or Luthi!

Bye

Ah yes a 307 Custom Cruiser. I've got a 1988 with less than 50,000 miles. I wish it had cornering lamps and the fender lamp monitors and both power seats. Nice to see there are others out there like this model. All it needs now is a 350 or 403 engine for up hill get and go...

Have a look at mine... I might just sell it for the right money as it's stored in California and I'm in London. Look forward to your comments too. Cheers

[MikeGuy993]

@fennjones1 You have a very nice wagon, it is in really great shape. I wish this one didn't have as many miles as it did but it is still a very strong running car. It also has the towing package so it can tow 5,000 pounds and it will never over heat. The man I got it from used to tow his race car, which is how it got most of its miles. I really love cars like this that some people just tend to forget about. Thanks for your comment and I too am glad to see another station wagon like this one!
