Proud new 72 Cutlass Supreme owner

Just bought this from my cousin who was the original owner. 176,000 actual miles. Well cared for as you can tell. Needs a new top and some minor interior work. Engine and transmission were rebuilt about 8 years ago. Everything in this car is original equipment. Have lots of questions and a lot to learn about this baby so you will see me around.

Very nice and good to keep it in the family. I have owned two of these and just recently sold the second one after owning it for 24 years. They are really pretty cars.

Very nice. The Saddle Bronze is my favorite color for a '72 Supreme.

Saddle Bronze was the official color name? My cousin couldn't remember for sure and called it copper. Whatever, it's very unique for sure.

I had a 4 door cutlass that color, it looks twice as good on a convertible. Good score.

Very pretty Cutlass. I always liked Saddle Bronze, a one year only color. The white top really sets it off. Enjoy and welcome.

I LIKE it

Easy way to tell if it's the original color. Check the cowl tag under the hood. Where it says PNT it should sat 63 A. 63 is saddle bronze, A is white convertible top. I'd guess the interior would be Saddle. That would show beside the TRM as 979

Very well presented car.

I know it's original. Have a photo of it the day it was purchased new.

Top.

Did you say that it needed a new top? Why? I'm looking at one now.

Had a new top installed last June. Convertible frame had a lot of rust so it took a while to clean up but I'm really happy with the results. In that first picture you can't see the rip I had mended with some clear tent repair tape.

Got the hardtop. My paint is a repaint but cowl tag says 53. My paint has a soft metalflake in it. Got 95k miles. 455 engine rebuilt and bored 30 over, headers and mild cam. Love this car. It is a real head-turner and got a lot of trophies at car shows . Good luck with yours, it is a really sharp car. have fun with it . fewer and fewer around
