Sorry, been meaning to reply to this but kept forgetting. Then I couldn't find the post!

Olds made 7,771 flat top Cutlass wagons. 85 of those were 6 cylinders, the rest were V8s. They were all two seaters.

Compare that to 34,094 Vista Cruisers. Now you know why you don't see many flat tops.

I think there's one (or used to be - they're crushing) in a junkyard near here. Might be a '69. Has vacuum power door locks.

Hi Scot,
There is a '72 on the cars-on-line website. I have been looking for a 68-72 Vista Cruiser and run across flat-tops once in a great while. They are rare, will let you know if I see any '70's around. Like to know more about yours too.

I was wondering what this car is really worth due to there only being 7,771 made? Everything on the car works! from all the marker lights to all the dash lights, the power window in back and it's a very solid southern car. all the glass is in great shape, no cracks in the dash. with 127,289mi on it and all the orriginal paper work from the window sticker, to when it was alligned in 72' and had exhaust work done in 93' by the orriginal owner. I'm the third owner. Anyone have any idea as to what it's worth?? Scot w.

Unfortunately rarity doesn't always translate to value with cars. I doubt if a flat-top would ever be worth more than a more common Vista Cruiser. Could be if it was some sort of special order or very highly optioned. How is the paint and interior, run good? I have seen them for 2-4 grand in that condition. Check the NADA and gold book sites for values.

Just my two cents worth, take it for what its worth.
