I've always liked Oldsmobile cars of the early 70s over the Oldsmobile of later. Sure, they're bigger, heavier and get worse fuel economy, but I'd feel safer in an earlier car, like say, a 1970-71 Vista Cruiser than a 1980-81 Custom Cruiser.

VERY ENTERTAINING, I even remembered a few of the ads. A joy to watch again, thanks for posting.. I have 3 car related clips on my channel (just a suggestioin) 1: cruisin' in coldwater.....2: capri mustang 40th....and 3: parade of oldsmobiles at 100 year.........never been a fan of newer cars. Classic is where it's at!

I have that same car at 4:54 Lol @ the number when the picture showed up in the vid.

[Eyan1818]

I had the chance to buy one like at 0:14 in Walterboro,South Carolina But i bought a 1973 Olds 442 instead for $500.00 from a lady that wanted a VW

Very Nice! My first Car the 72 Olds 88 Delta Royal in Royal Blue. Everyone thought I was a spoiled 16 year old. I saved and paid $900 for it in 1977. Sold it 2 years after for $1500. and bought a 73 Cadillac Fleetwood for $1700. Now I was spoiled haha. Spending $70 a week for gas in 1978 was crazy. At 17 years old I was always driving in the car. And commuted to work 40 miles a day. Wish I still had both those cars now. Great memories.

[Drandamb]

my grandfather had an Oldsmobile 442

[UTOBEDUDE]

I had a 73 Cutlass - 4 dr and then a 77 Cutlass Supreme - 2 dr. ...followed by an 84 Delta 88 ...

Awesome vehicles ....I really miss the 77 Cutlass Supreme.

[vistacruiser67]

Ive actually got 61-74 Olds commercials originally on VHS now have been burnt to DVD. $10 plus $4.00 shipping. Descent video quality from non remastered source tape. See this same youtube channel for 68-72 segments. Does not include the light green 71 W-30 roadtest.

Memories of the past, keep us going to the future!!!

8:09. Good comparision, you really see why a Custom Cruiser weighed around 5000, and a Vista around 4000 (3900-4300 depending on year and options--from blueprints from GM posted on NASCAR website) making the Vista's weight managable to still go very fast with a big block thats built.

PS--I've always loved the "evil" lookin front ends on the large 71 and 72 Olds's. I like how it comes to a point in the center of the hi beam and low beam head lamps.

[1967PmdGto]

Great color pics, lots of work, VERY nice job. Very clear pics, I'd never known they were from a magazine if I'd not seen the magazine fold on some of them.

Thanks for sending/sharing everything, been too busy to get back to you. I loved the Linda Vaughan stuff too in the other vids, somewhere I have a magazine from 1988 with her pictured again in 1988, next to a 68 Hurst Olds....20 anniversary, man hard to believe that's now 40 years ago.

[vistacruiser67]

Hard to believe 1988 was 20 years ago.

[OldsMannn]

i loved those bench seats in the delta 88's they were like sofa's!

[Myaurora2001]

Well Oldsmobile is sorely missed, they represented America well and built great cars and too advanced for their time. Thanks for keeping the Oldsmobile legacy alive. I enjoy all of your vids of Oldsmobile. Keep on posting.

Thanks for the second part of the movie, it has been worth the wait. Notice between 1:13 and 1:27, the Vista Cruisers show the 1969 style front side marker lights but the 1970 tail lamps. Perhaps GM did not have enough time to change the brochures to catch the newer styled side lamps, which had to incorporate reflectors as well as lamps from 1970 and newer. Personally I think the front side lamps (and in the rear on the sedans and coupes) were placed too low .

[vistacruiser67]

Yeah I always noticed those 68-69 front side marker lights in the 70 brochure. Got some other photos left over to upload. Hoping to do an Olds musclecar video with some drag racing cars like the Smothers brothers. Also an Olds wagon video focusing mostly on Vista Cruisers but also including the Fiesta wagons from the 50's and hopefully a collection of art and photos of 64-72 Oldsmobile hearses and ambulances. Also thinking of a video devoted to 66-72 Toronados.

[Venable1965]

You are a very ambitious and devoted Oldsmobile enthusiast!

[vistacruiser67]

Thank you for your kind words.

[colibri1]

Very cool. I used to collect ads and brochures years ago, so I remember some of these, but most of them I'd never seen. Thanks.
