1967 Cutlass Convertible Turnpike Cruiser

Not mine.
First convertible I have seen with the turnpike cruiser option. Is it real? Sure looks right.

Wow. Very nice looking car. I can't read the build sheet, but the motor looks right and eng compartment looks unmolested.

On the far right I see W28 Turnpike Pkg. I thought the Turnpike Cruisers had a badge of some sort on the trunklid that denoted it.

The TC was available on the Cutlass Supreme conv. The TC badge on trunk lid never made it into production. I have only seen it pictured in the book Cars of Oldsmobile by Dennis Casteel.

Everything I can see looks quite legit. A very nice documented example.

That W28 reference is a little misleading. The L66 is what identifies it as a TPC. Notice that the W28 has a "*", meaning that is an "included" option. That W28 is the broadcast code referring to the "highway gears", engine, and trans combination. And that is part of the L66 TPC option.

There is no external identification of the TPC option.

I've got that book, maybe that's where I'd seen it.

Nice looking car. I didn't go through all the pictures, was there one of the data plate and what is the build date?
