A typical car that most high school kids end up driving as their first car, most often Olds from the 80's. The mother of all hoopties.

Get the oldsmobile mug.The greatest minivan ever produced. It has been described as a "fire-breathing grocery-getter," equipped with a fairly powerful 3.1L, 3.4L or 3.8L V6. Introduced in 1990 and discontinued in 2004, one of the three "dustbuster" minivans produced by GM (see Pontiac Trans Sport, Chevy Lumina). Has more low-end torque than an identically-equipped sedan, since it hauls more cargo (ie seven people plus things). If the seats are removed, it beats some pickups in cargo room. People are surprised when they pass me, thinking that because I'm driving a minivan I must be going slow, when I pass them up by accelerating to 100 MPH.

Get the Oldsmobile 455 mug.A luxury front wheel drive car made from 1966 to 1992. The 1966 to 1970 years consider it to be the only front wheel drive muscle car ever made. The 1971 to 1985 years have got to be one of the biggest and ugliest cars ever made. The 1986 to 1992 years brought back some more muscle to its style and looks similar to 1980's Monte Carlo's and Cutlasses. Only thing is it had no V8 like all the previous Toronado's but rather had one of the best and strongest engines ever, the Buick 3800 V6.
John: What kind of car did you buy?
Steve: A 1988 Oldsmobile Toronado.
John: Wow it looks bad ass, does it have a V8?
Steve: No it has a Buick 3800 V6.

Get the Oldsmobile Toronado mug.Introduced in 1941, the Ninety-Eight was Oldsmobiles top of the line model and was a very stylish rear wheel drive land yacht up until the early 80's.
The fuel crisis pretty much doomed the Ninety-Eigh, and all large sedanst. Experimenting with Diesel engines proved problematic in the early 80's, so sales suffered. So in 1985 it was downsized to a front wheel drive generic design that looked like every other GM car at that time. 1991's bloated round restyle proved unpopular too and the model was axed in 1996, to be replaced by the Aurora.

You can probably find a 50's/60's/70's era Oldsmobile Ninety Eight on ebay for a good price. Many were driven by senior citizens when new, and were looked after.
