I may not seem like it, but I do have a couple of dream cars........ One of which is the 1991-92 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser and the other is a classic from That 70s Show, the 1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser!
I don’t know if I’ll ever have either one in real life, but my sona can at least drive them. X3
They were both taken from GTA mods but I’ve made extensive edits and modifications to both. Heck, the Custom Cruiser was originally a Chevy Caprice, it didn’t even HAVE the Vista Roof on it!

Flashback to when my dad picked up his 86 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser with a forklift. Granted it didn't have an engine, but still-

🇺🇲 1948 OLDSMOBILE 98 FUTURAMIC CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE
Tumblr media
For the first time since 1940 Oldsmobile offered totally different styling during a single model year. Third generation (1948–1953)
The top of the line 1948 Oldsmobile 98 was also included in a marketing campaign for what Oldsmobile called "Futuramic" on all 1949 Oldsmobiles primarily focused on the automatic transmission 1948 Oldsmobile Futuramic introduction. Standard equipment on 98s included a solenoid starter, fender skirts, E-Z-l rearview mirror, and foam rubber seat cushions. The 98s also included front and rear bumper guards, vacuum booster pump, plastic radiator ornament, dual horns, dual sun visors, and cigarette lighter. Deluxe equipment added front and rear floor mats, Deluxe steering wheel, wheel trim rings, rear seat armrests, and hydraulic window, seat and top controls on all convertibles. Upholstery was either broadcloth or leather. The standard tire size was 6.50 x 16. The Custom Cruiser name was retired until 1971 when it was used to denote full-size Oldsmobile station wagons. The new styling was apparently popular with a record 65,235 98s sold, exceeding the number of 90s sold in 1940 for the first time. The following year the new styling was joined by a new engine, the now famous Rocket V8. In February 1949, several months into the model year, General Motors introduced three highly styled "hardtop convertible" coupes, the Oldsmobile 98 Holiday, the Cadillac Series 62 Coupe de Ville, and the Buick Roadmaster Riviera, the first hardtop coupes ever produced. The Holiday was exclusive to the 98 series that year. Available in four special Holiday colors, as well as four two-tone combinations, it was priced the same as the convertible, and was similarly equipped, with hydraulically operated windows and seat. Only 3,006 Holidays were sold in its first year compared to 20,049 Club coupes. Total sales reached 93,478 in 1949, setting yet another record. The 1950 Oldsmobile 98 repeated its 1948 precedent of previewing some of next years styling cues for the 88. The 98 was restyled after only two years. It was the first totally slab sided Oldsmobile and the first sedan with wraparound rear windows. A 4-door 98 fastback appeared for one year only in 1950 and was called the Town Sedan, selling only 1,778 units. Standard equipment included bumper guards, dual horns, parking lamps, dome light, rubber floor mats, aluminum sill plates, foam rubber seat cushions, chrome interior trim, lined luggage compartment and counterbalanced trunk lid. Deluxe 98 equipment included rear seat armrest, Deluxe electric clock, Deluxe steering wheel and horn button, special door trim and stainless steel wheel trim rings. Upholstery choices spanned nylon fabric, striped broadcloth or leather. Standard tire size was 7.6 (193) by 15 inches (381 millimetres). In 1950, Oldsmobile stopped naming the 98 series and so from then through 1996, with the exception of 1957 when it was called the Starfire 98, and in 1961 when it was called the Classic 98, it was simply known as the Oldsmobile 98. Sales of the 98 Holiday nearly tripled to 8263, approaching the 11,989 sold of the Club coupe. Given the rapidly growing popularity of the 2-door Holiday hardtop, 1950 was the last year for the pillared Club coupe. Total sales set yet another record of 106,220. The 98 topped the Oldsmobile line again for 1951 with Three body styles available. The 4-door sedan and convertible came only with Deluxe equipment, while the Holiday hardtop was available with either Deluxe or Standard trim. The 98 standard equipment included bumper guards, cigarette lighter, dome light, rubber floor mats, stainless steel moldings, lined trunk, illuminated ashtray, foam rubber seat cushions and extra chrome moldings. Deluxe equipment was special rear door ornament, rear center armrests, Deluxe electric clock, Deluxe steering wheel with horn ring and special chrome trim. Upholstery choices were nylon cord, nylon cloth and leather. The pillared Club coupe was no longer offered. With the only choice in a closed 2-door 98 now being the hardtop, Holiday sales nearly doubled to 17,929 units. Read the full article

Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser
Funny enough, two custom Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser wagons were built as 442 models with the W30 package back in the day. This particular tribute model isn’t one of them, but it nonetheless comes equipped with a rip-snortin’ engine under the hood, specifically 455-cube V8 mated to a 700R4 automatic transmission. There’s also power brakes and power steering to make driving it that much easier.

You can’t tell me this isn’t one of the sexiest things you’ve ever seen. This should honestly have a mature content label, smh.
If the first generation Custom Cruiser had a Vista Roof, it would probably steal the dream car spotlight... Just saying.
But since it doesn’t, third generation Custom Cruiser and 1969 Vista Cruiser (with third row bench, of course) are #1 in my heart.
(Who am I kidding, it’ll ALWAYS be the Vista Cruiser <3)
