  1. Nie ma to jak zgrywać video z kompa kamerą i wrzucać na youtube :P +5 do zajebistości :)

  2. All football players in 1969 could afford was a Vista Cruiser.

  3. Jeeze, ya wouldn’t think the tail end would be draggin’ loaded with people in the COMMERCIAL?!

  4. Oh. The VISTA cruiser.

  5. I love the look of Oldsmobile Vista Cruisers, as well I am found of oldsmobiles.

  6. Haha the only problem is i dont have any spare vistas to cruse

  7. 1972 Custom Cruiser sales were 14,000 while the final LWB Vista Cruiser sold almost 32,000 units. The Vista Cruiser served Olds quite well in the medium-priced wagon segment. The only criticism one could make is that it was a full-size car based on a mid-sized model and thus probably did not receive the “respect” it deserved.

  8. The Vista Cruiser, while based on the mod-sized Cutlass Cruiser, had a 121″wb versus the Cutlass Cruiser’s 116″wb, with all of the added length dedicated to the second seat row. This compares favorably to the Impala’s 119″wb. The Vista Cruiser was 77.2 inches wide compared to the Impala’s 80 inches. Thus the Vista Cruiser was competative with the B-body wagons in terms of size and capacity and sold quite well through the end of the 121″wb series in 1972.

  9. thats a vista cruiser. you can litteraly cruise the vistas.

  10. @YOCOSMINMAX16 Yeah.. Formans or the win :D

  11. Did oldsmobile test this car to see if it could literally cruise the vistas

  12. … I hate videos of videos. Try original content instead of recording your computer screen.

  13. Detroit Lions lol

  14. i search the car , just because i saw it on “that`s 70 show “ :D

  15. “you can cruuuuise the vista.” Red Foreman (while high)

  16. @Manongjojo Wasn’t in the world then, but I’ve heard the story. It seems that GM didn’t get the message and realize their customers actually *cared* about the difference between an Olds and a Chevy. Instead they just flipped everyone the finger and standardized the engines as corporate-wide.
    I think GM ruined their divisions by trying to “eliminate redundancies” in the equipment, which ironically just watered down the differences until the brands themselves were redundant.

  17. thats a car

  18. @Manongjojo That started in 1977. Wasnt Olds fault. GMs bad decision. There was a shortage of Olds 350 engines around this time as Olds was beginning to sell a million cars a year around this time AND THE OLDS MOTORS WERE MAKING THEIR WAY INTO PONTIACS AND BUICKS! especially in California emission cars and high altitude states. Of the the 109,000 79 Pontiac Trans Ams sold in 1979 92,000 had 403 Olds engines. I think the Chevy motors started in the Delta 88 instead of the Cutlass.

  19. anybody remember when Oldsmobile was caught putting Chevrolet engines in their cars? The way you knew you had one was the distributer was on front of the engine on one and the other it was on the back. But from what I understand it was mostly on the Cutless Supreme that happenned on.

  20. no wonder GM is not selling cars anymore, today cars are just ugly

  21. Yep – an Electra wagon with the nice interior was a damn nice car to travel in.
    Friend of mines dad had the ’74 electra 225 Limited with black button tufted leather–might as well be a cadillac as smooth as that car rode–really nice, even todays cadillacs dont ride like that.

  22. Buick built the Buick Estate Wagon. My family had a ’73 and it was a classy wagon. Basically an Electra in wagon form.

  23. Youtube video of a Youtube video… wow, that’s original!

  24. Olds didnt have a full size wagon like the Country Squire from 65-70. Vista Cruiser is based on the Cutlass line which would compete against Torino or Fairlane wagons if your a Ford enthusiast. GM introduced the clamshell tailgate on fullsize wagons from 71-76: Olds Custom Cruiser, Chevy Kingswood Estate, Pontiac Grand Safari, and whatever Buick had. Olds were higher priced than Ford. Chevy would be a better comparison since both Ford and Chevy are budget priced high volume models.

  25. The Ford Country Squire LTD was the #1 selling wagon during this period as it had the superior 3 way tailgate compared to GM’s and Chrysler’s 2 way tailgate.
