used car of the day 1991 oldsmobile custom cruiser

We're going with a weird wagon today because, hey, it's Friday. This one is a 1990 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser.

While there was factory vehicle called the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, this one really is custom. For example, there's a Chevy 350 under the hood.

There's also a long, long list of mods in the ad, and the pictures make it clear that this car has been heavily modified.

Even from the factory it was rare -- only 11,000 were made.

This one has an automatic transmission and it needs some interior work.

I'd list all the mods here, but there are just too many.

You're better off clicking here to see the car. The mileage is 214,000 -- the engine might be around 50K -- and it's for sale for $7,000 in Ocala, Florida -- a place I've spent a little bit of time.

If you're so inclined, click over and see it.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Folks, this car is big enough to live in. Dual deal: house and car for $7 large.

  How many palmetto bugs already call the car home?

I like station wagons and like this generation of Olds, Buick, and Chevy wagons but I would not touch this wagon.

28-Cars-Later Suggestion for future QOTD: Given the fact US road infrastructure is crumbling around us why must all new cars have 20+ inch wheels with tires an inch or two thick in sidewall which literally become bent over time bc of potholes? I know initially in the 90s wheels got bigger to accommodate larger disc brakes but its gone a little too far given the road infrastructure don't ya think?

SCE to AUX I can't warm up to the new look. Still prefer my 22 SF.
SCE to AUX I guess the direct sales stores weren't polled. Unless dealers are going out of business, I don't feel one bit sorry for them. They should most fear the mfrs who are eager to get rid of them, reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction.
