Nice looking pace car, and Cutlass is a cool name for a car, though Oldsmobile sounds like a car for pensioners.
I saw this Sheikh chariot today, not seen a Roller styled like this before. It looks good from the back, more like an old Aston Martin than a Rolls.....
...but the front is pretty gopping in my view, those angled lights just look too Dame Edna. Interior was amazing but looked like many trees and cows were sacrificed to make it.

Matches the very politically incorrect nickname for that model of Rolls though.

Yeah. They were really nice family sedans in the 40s/50s with good racing heritage from the 30s that they cashed in with the Rocket 88 engines in 1949 - some consider those as the first muscle cars. GM visionless ownership didn't help and they got lumped into the morass of the 70s and 80s era and that's when they became, like Buick and Pontiac, the car for old people. GM killed the brand in the 90s. They were the oldest American car brand for a long time.

Lovely Olds Cutlass 442 - '69 or '70. Rare, rare, rare as fuck and never seen one outside of the US. Beefier than my '68 Olds Cutlass convertible so I think that looks more like the redesign that they did in '69.
442 - 400ci engine, 4 barrel carb and 2 exhausts
The pinnacle of these were the even rarer Hurst Olds 442 seen here in the '72 Indy Pace Car Edition.

I had one of these park next to my Cutlass at the auto parts store and I spent a really lovely 20 minutes chatting to the guy. This was '98-'99 and his had 67k original miles on it. It was immaculate.
