This 1988 Custom Cruiser is
in very good condition, and from the looks of it, has never been molested
by any distressed family on an excruciating cross-country trip. No
scowling children have smeared bubble gum under the seats or dripped
Coca-Cola in to the carpet. No savage or troubled dog has gnawed the arm
rests or soiled the footwells. No vomiting, spitting, bleeding, or peeing
has defiled the soft and attractive seating areas. Records indicate that
it was owned by a quiet older couple, who may have been quite rambunctious
and foul-minded in their youth, but had probably calmed down a great deal
by the time they purchased this pleasant and tan Oldsmobile.
Speaking of great deals, at
just $2000.00 (US), this fits the bill - it's got 73,000 original and
cheerful miles, no mechanical or cosmetic issues that require attention,
and runs like a Swiss watch. It seats sixty (OK, 8), has very cold air
conditioning, and with the rear seats folded down, you could snugly
transport a refrigerator or small hybrid car with room still to spare for
several of the Spice Girls or some delegates to the UN. The massive
luggage rack on top seems only excessive and ridiculous, as a family of
five could find accommodation inside this automobile for a month, carrying
all of their worldly possessions in climate-controlled comfort, without
feeling very cramped. With the economy still struggling, it just may pay
to have an apartment on wheels as a backup to your more permanent
residence.
But while it's truly lovely
to look at, and great fun to drive, it really isn't our cup of tea and
also lacks yuppie appeal - unless you're a trendsetting yuppie, hoping to
make your neighbors cringe in horror at the way your sparkling old wagon
looks in their stylish neighborhood while choking out a froth of
frappuccino on their well-tailored Abercrombie & Fitch casual wear.
Whatever the case may be, if this thing is what you desire, please give us
a call and get it the hell out of our driveway.
