This car was about to land in the same “woof” category (for being slow as a dog), until a little online research yielded some interesting facts. First of all, this car was built in Canada, but not in Ontario near Michigan as you’d expect. It was built in Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, so instead of angry union labor building your car, you had angry French-Canadian separatists doing the job. And in GM’s attempt to acknowledge the changing times, what with increasing oil prices and the greater influence of imports, they released their new 1978 model with a fastback body style, as well as an optional LF7 260 diesel V8 engine, bursting with 90 furious horsepower. They were furious because the engines were underdeveloped, and the diesel fuel at that time was of poor quality. You can find this 1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass Diesel for sale in San Diego, CA for $3800, or $3200 if you can read Spanish.
