So this is a Cuttlass in Sweeden, and not a Cutlass in Sweden as one would presume?😏
Turns out it’s actually a Cutlass in Finland. 🙂
Beautiful ride!! Awesome setting.
She’s a Beaut!! Looks all kinds of muscular w/ the mags (what kind do we think those are — Cragar SS?) and raised-wht letter TAs. Love the profile pic. Nice find and photos, Eric.
Those are factory olds rally wheels hope they have high octane fuel as olds had high compression engines !?
Mr F85, those are Olds Super Stock wheels. I think Olds 1st offered them in 1968, but fit very nicely here.
These pics are taken in Finland, not Sweden.
It’s close, but since 200+ years not the same country.
Fixed now. Thanks for the correction.
They also had 9:1 compression engines.
Very much like seeing pictures like this…an American classic auto in Finland, Sweden, etc. There is always going to be a story regarding how the car ended ‘off-shore’. I grew up as a military officers brat & we moved state-to-state, country-to-country with pets & furniture but never moving our cars. Think Dad regretted leaving his Mercedes in Germany.
As an adult moved state-to-state and transferring auto registration’s many times. I imported three USA cars into Canada & when I retired and moved back to the US exported two autos back to the US.
Never an issue with cross-border paperwork….but could wright a chapter how three different auto transport carriers managed to screw up. One, left all the critical import paperwork at customs: another known carrier crossed the border into Canada with my 1966 T-Bird conv. and then disappeared in Canada for two weeks with a trailer of six classic autos.
I respect anyone who loves their auto so much to transport between countries.
Dad did that in 1971. Shipped the family Fiat from Lae, New Guinea to Liverpool, UK, drove it as far East as the then Yugoslavia.
Shipped it to Australia when we’d finished our adventures, and was still in the family in 1980
Beautiful Olds, thank you Eric! Wish we could have such attractive, almost-artisan roadwork, here in urban Canada. Milder Canadian cities could. I know the frost cycles here, would cause it to wave and/or open, after a couple winters.
Such a lovely car and nice photo .

Nice that it’s still a Cutlass, and hasn’t been turned into a bogus 442.
