1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass

The Cutlass became America's best selling car this year and would hold this title for most years into the 1980s. A restyled front end with waterfall type split grilles and new rectangular headlights was introduced that would become an Olds Cutlass trademark in coming years, and the coupe bodies were reshaped for a smoother, less contoured look, a change shared with Buick's A body coupes. The 1976 car's waterfall grilles lasted into the late 1980s.
