I could have sworn that this book mentioned something about the Cutlass being named after the F7U Cutlass (I didn't know the US used it). Oldsguy has a copy, I guess I will have to ask him to thumb through it this weekend. I could be mistaken.

I thought the F86 was the Super Sabre; however, it appears the F100 was the Super Sabre. Oh well, I still think it would be cool to make an Oldsmobile F 86. You could paint it silver with yellow or red on the front valance. Like the jets on the following webpage.

No offense to owners of the 80s 442s; however, I think they were pretty weak. Especially compared to the Buick GN. Oldsmobile could have done alot better.
