1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Coupe

  • Chassis Number: 3K47R9M537832
1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Navigation
This car was ordered with the Hurst/Olds option (RPO code W30) which was available on the Cutlass Calais. Power is from a 350 cubic-inch four-barrel V8 and is fitted with an automatic transmission. The last Hurst/Olds W30 option was built on the 1975 Cutlass Supreme and it was basically an appearance package with Hurst-built T-Tops. The 1979 W30 option was different; it was an Oldsmobile-built car with a Hurst Dual/Gate shifter and the only General Motors A-body car that was equipped with the L34 350CID V8.

The base Cutlass Calais sold for around $5,800. The W30 added another $2,000 on top of that price. With that, the buyer got the 350 CID engine, TH-350 automatic, graphics, power brakes, and Dual/Gate. The buyer had a few options, such as T-Tops and color choices - which included two-tone black and gold, or gold and white. The white and gold colors got Doeskin Derma Grain vinyl in Oyster White or Camel Tan, or Camel Tan Lochland velour. The black cars had black or tan Derma Grain vinyl or the same cloth.

Production of the Hurst/Olds was low with just 2,499 examples built.
