I am looking at what purports to be an original interior in a 1969 cutlass supreme ( which I did not think they made in 69?)
its the burgundy mist one currently on OldsCentral. ( drop dead pretty imo)
here is a photo of a door panel. Isn’t this a different year or did Oldsmobile even make this panel?
thanks in advance for counsel on this..
I do know that Olds Cutlass did have a Cutlass Supreme model in '68 and '69, my friend owned a '68 and the door panels were different as your photo shows in '69.
Yeah, 69 Supremes. They didn't have peak moldings on the body like the S and 442, but the "chrome" trim was along the bottom and around the wheel wells. They also came with the "flat" style hoods without the humps.
My God, that Supreme Town couple looks like 10x better than the coupe
Wish 4-doors would have more followment
You are definitely in the minority. In the 1969 model year, Olds sold 4,522 Supreme Town Sedans (four door post), 8,714 Supreme Holiday Sedans (four door hardtop), and 24,193 Supreme Holiday Coupes.

Sure im in a minority, but who cares. Whatever floats the boat, or how do you say it.

Correct. The reason for this is that in 1967, the only Cutlass model that was available with bucket seats was the Supreme, and bucket seats were base equipment in the 442.
Again, thanks to all…Now, the $64 question…
Who might be around Amsterdam New York who would be willing to go take a look and be my eyes for the potential purchase of the car.
Seller is a true blue Olds guy; or at least my impression in speaking with him. Said he has been a long time OCA member.
I would be happy to spend a dollar or two for a fellow Oldsmobile enthusiast to see, smell, taste, feel the car and provide feedback to me.
I hope this does not violate internal rules of which I am not familiar.
If not, and you are willing & have the time real soon, please PM me..
Thanks,

And I really do need a couch for a head examination!
Yes, 67 442s were Cutlass Supremes. 67 Cutlass Supreme could also be Turnpike Cruiser.
79 and 80 were Salons, I think but same body as Supremes, and 85-87 were Cutlass Supremes as well, I believe.
The idea behind the Turnpike Cruiser was similar in fashion as the Cutlass SX wasn't it? A 400 but with a 2bbl with automatic? Admittedly I'm not too familiar with the 67 TP but I did see one once seemingly 100 years ago on a used car lot thinking the 400 with 2 bbl got swapped from a 4 bbl. I really didn't know what it was all about then. The salesman said it was a TP but it never registered with me at that point. I think I was about 16 or 17 then.
Technically, the 80 442 was based on the Calais A47 notchback. The 85-86 442 was based on the newly resurrected Salon (Calais became it's own line in 1985 to add to the confusion) since they already had all the bucket seats, console, sporty stuff and F41, etc., but the 87 was based on the less expensive Supreme. Interestingly, 87 also retained a Salon which was a spitting image of the 86 Salon with the exception of the front end (that 86 was originally supposed to get along with the Monte Carlo SS style sport mirrors which never happened), and the Salon blacked out grilles and amber bumper lamps ended up on the 87 Supreme 442 to complete that look.
