This is not the greatest car in the world; this is just a tribute.

Edit: I wrote that in all caps. Guess this site has a computer illiterate filter.

Its a reference to the song "Tribute" by Tenacious D. The lyrics are below:

"This is not the greatest song in the world, no.
This is just a tribute!"

Appears the "tribute" moniker is now diluted even further to include body styles/models that never were. Maybe I should spray some silver and black paint on my old 4 door 68 delta and call it a Hurst/Olds tribute...

Maybe they should use the term "aspiration".

I'm near this car and am biting back the urge to contact the seller just to inquire about it. I am not a fan of the badging and mimicking another model, but for 16k this car seem pretty solid with tasteful upgrades? (subjective, I know)

I just don't get why it is so important to people to not have a Cutlass. Hello wth? Cutlass Supreme 442?? SX emblems would suit me just fine. Of course it has to have the towel rack on it too...🥴

Some people can't afford the real deal and are embarrassed by that fact, while they don't realize that a rebuilt Cutlass can be faster than a stock w-30 with enough work and engine parts.

At least there's no risk of a seller down the road trying to pass it off as the real thing.

True enough on both accounts. Its one of those things people will never agree on but thats cool..be pretty boring if everyone was in agreement..

442 emblems on a Cutlass Supreme is never right. Looks like there was a lot of work put into that car. Listing has been flagged for removal.
