• Como Se Llama? Sport... Eurosport! [Classic Ad Watch]

  newVideoPlayer("/94_Chevy_Eurosport_Mx.flv", 506, 423,""); What we have here in this Mexican ad appears to be an Olds Cutlass Ciera with a wing and "Eurosport" badging. Apparently El General felt that Mexican car buyers associated the Oldsmobile name with mystery and adventure, and why wouldn't they? Thanks to Uncle Bo for the tip!

• The Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Knows The Roads From Oregon To Maine! [Classic Ad Watch]

  newVideoPlayer("85_Cutlass_Ciera_476.flv", 506, 423,""); You may know the '85 Olds Cutlass Ciera best as the car that Jerry Lundegaard gave to a couple of North Dakota hoodlums as partial payment for a harebrained fake-kidnap scheme in the movie Fargo . Quite a claim to fame, that- but don't forget that the Cutlass Ciera was all about patriotism back in the day. Yes, the Ciera was America's "native car," apparently due to Oldsmobile's "special feel." We're going to give this one an 8 out of a possible 10 reading on the Schmaltz-O-Meter™.

• Big Is Back, Because Bigger Is Better: The 6000SUX [Classic Ad Watch]

  newVideoPlayer("6000SUX_476.flv", 475, 376,""); If the folks who made the movie Robocop had really been prescient, they'd have made the 6000SUX (which was based on a '76 Olds Cutlass) a vast SUV instead of a big sedan. Still, 8.2MPG puts it squarely in Excursion territory. It's an American tradition. Posted Jan 11 2008, 03:30 AM by Jalopnik Filed under: classic ad watch, 1980S, Oldsmobile, cutlass, 6000SUX, robocop
