Oldsmobile Cutlass

The Oldsmobile Cutlass made such an impact in the ’60s that it didn’t take long before General Motors decided to turn the name ‘Cutlass’ into a sub-marque designation. The 1st-generation Cutlass was produced between 1961 and 1963 and featured a powerful engine that was either a Rockette V8 or a Turbo-Rocket turbocharged V8.

Also known as the F-85, the earliest model of the Cutlass was praised for its 0–60 mph time of 14.5 seconds and criticized for its slow steering and soft suspension. But even though the Oldsmobile Cutlass was not perfect, it did make a huge impact in the U.S. and was produced up until 1999.
