You referring to the Cutlass Supreme's notchback style?

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!"

To be fair to the man, I should have put it in quotes.

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.

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.
