1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser Commercial

The Ford Country Squire LTD was the #1 selling wagon during this period as it had the superior 3 way tailgate compared to GM's and Chrysler's 2 way tailgate.

Olds didnt have a full size wagon like the Country Squire from 65-70. Vista Cruiser is based on the Cutlass line which would compete against Torino or Fairlane wagons if your a Ford enthusiast. GM introduced the clamshell tailgate on fullsize wagons from 71-76: Olds Custom Cruiser, Chevy Kingswood Estate, Pontiac Grand Safari, and whatever Buick  had. Olds were higher priced than Ford. Chevy would be a better comparison since both Ford and Chevy are budget priced high volume models.

i want a car like that.

can u still buy this car today

you can litteraly cruise the vistas!

lol thats from red that 70 shows

Nice! Thanks for the look

This was one of GM's experiments that actually worked . It had more cargo space and legroom than a full sized wagon, but weighed less and got better mileage. It sat a third of the way between a wagon and an minivan. It actually took the place of Oldsmobile's full sized wagons until '71.

Yes the Vista Cruiser worked well and there were no full size Olds wagons from 65-70.

It has room for 9 passengers!
