 Oldsmobile Cutlass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, the proliferation of Oldsmobile Cutlass models caused confusion in the market-place in the 1980s, when four different vehicles (the Cutlass Calais, Cutlass Ciera, Cutlass Cruiser, and Cutlass Supreme) all shared the name.
About 3,000 Cutlass Calais coupes were equipped with the Hurst/Olds W-30 package, featuring aluminum wheels specially trimmed with gold paint, an exclusive console mounted Hurst Dual Gate floor shifter, special gold over fl or white two toned paint and an otherwise unavailable Oldsmobile 350 V8 with 4 barrel carb and dual outlet exhausts.
The 4-4-2 package was moved to the Cutlass Calais, and while it lacked the Dual Gate shifter, it was essentially a carryover of the 1979 Hurst/Olds, even having the Oldsmobile 350 V8.
