where's the shifter at, column or floor?

[dan1s]

They made a cutlass salon that had all those features. I had one that had everything a 442 would have except the dual exhaust and the 442 badges. Other then that it was the same car.

Mine also had T tops and my shifter was on the floor.

[dar83501]

the Salons look different than the ordinary Cutlass, the back is kinda chopped off and slanted isn't it?

[gm guy]

hi guys ....shifter is on the floor with senter console.....yes it has dual exhaust ...the funny thing about it is there's a inprint on the door panel where a 442 emblem was..?

[dan1s]

No, the 442, salon and the supreme all shared the same style. I'm pretty sure about this. The 442 and the salon had the rear wing on the trunk.

In 87 they also had the composite head lights.

Here a link to a guy that has a salon.

Mine was white and had T tops and the rear wing.

[gm guy]

by composite head lights you mean the euro style..or what ever ..sealed beem?

[dan1s]

Yes, sorry about that.

[gm guy]

my car looks just like his as far as the front end head lights..no wing

[gm guy]

and as far as i can tell..it was a double color car..gray/silver

[dan1s]

Look up the VIN number. and do a search on line.

[gm guy]

same interior but mine has gray dash inserts not wood grain pluss it has the double inlet air cleaner with the crome lid.

You're thinking of the 78-80 cars. By 81, the slantback body had been dropped but the Salon name remained.

Goto photobucket (dot) com. This is a great place to store photos. After your pics are uploaded you can use the links for that pic for other forums.

That's just how I do it. There's other way I'm sure.

Try this to decode your VIN
