FactIts last year, 1990, marked the end of Oldsmobile's own V8, and its carbureted 307 was the final engine the company built without fuel injection.
For the 1977 model year the second-generation Custom Cruiser was released as part of the downsizing of GM's full-size cars, a station wagon on the B-body shared with the Buick Estate, Pontiac Safari and Chevrolet Caprice and Impala wagons, built until 1990 at Fairfax, South Gate, Detroit and Arlington. Engines were Oldsmobile 5.0, 5.7 and 6.6 litre V8s and a 5.7 litre diesel V8.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

The last one, built on 5 June 1992, was the final Oldsmobile with a V8 and rear-wheel drive, and the last sold only with a three-seat front bench.
The Custom Cruiser was the last Oldsmobile to use a body-on-frame, rear-wheel-drive platform shared with the Chevrolet Caprice and Buick Estate wagons.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Cooling the C6 RS6’s twin-turbo V10 took seven separate radiators and four electric fans under the bonnet.
The original RS6 debuted Audi's clever hydraulic Dynamic Ride Control suspension — and enough owners got tired of its leaking dampers that they ripped the whole system out for plain coilovers.
The C7-generation RS6 Avant never officially reached America at all — buyers there got the RS7 Sportback instead, running the exact same engine and platform in a different body.
For a few years, this Outback's six-cylinder trim came with genuine McIntosh audio — the same esteemed hi-fi name found in home theaters, one of the only cars ever to get it from the factory.
Subaru didn't have the budget for an all-new SUV, so it dressed up a Legacy wagon instead. A Subaru of America executive later put it bluntly: "[the Outback] saved our company."
The new Outback's full-width tail light bar has a 2 ft ruler built in, for measuring whatever you are about to load.
This Outback shared Top Gear's Car of the Year crown — an unusual honor for a jacked-up wagon to split with the Ford Mondeo in 2007.
A wagon beat the SUVs at their own game: this Outback generation won Motor Trend's Sport/Utility of the Year award for 2010.
