Everything about The Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera totally explained
The
Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera was a
mid-size car produced from 1982 through 1996 at the
Oklahoma City plant, the
Saint Therese Assembly plant (until 1991)
Framingham, Massachusetts, the
Fremont, California plant (1982 only) and
Doraville, Georgia plant for the
Oldsmobile division of
General Motors. It shared the
front-wheel drive GM A platform, which was based on the earlier
X platform, with the very similar
Buick Century,
Pontiac 6000 and
Chevrolet Celebrity, during those years. Available bodystyles included a 2-door
coupe, 4-door
sedan, and the
Cutlass Cruiser station wagon (added in 1984). Between 1983 and 1986, 814 Cutlass Ciera convertibles were made by Hess & Eisenhardt/Car Craft. During the 1986 model year, the coupe received a new, more rounded roofline that wasn't shared with the other A-body models. At the same time as the Cutlass Ciera, Oldsmobile produced two other different Cutlass models, the smaller
Cutlass Calais and the larger
Cutlass Supreme. The Cutlass Ciera was a modern redesign of Oldsmobile's famous
Cutlass line. Sales were strong and the car enjoyed many factory specialty models including Holiday coupe, GT, International and Eurosport models, the latter of which had a stock body kit. For 1996, the Cutlass name was dropped and the car was simply called the Ciera. This generation was exported to certain countries in
Asia. Throughout much of the 90s, it was ranked as the most stolen vehicle.
1982-1988 engines
1989
The Cutlass Ciera was updated for 1989, with the sedan receiving a new more modern roofline, and both coupe and sedan models wore updated rear-end treatments (the 1989/1990 taillights were Oldsmobile-themed - squared with a center emblem, and 1991 to 1996 models had a revised three-sectioned taillight lens similar to the
Ford Mustang). For 1992, the coupe, along with the sporty International Series models, were dropped. In 1996, the final model year, the cars dropped the Cutlass name and were known simply as Ciera. The Ciera was popular with rental fleets. Production of the Ciera ended on
August 30,
1996, and it was replaced in the U.S. by the 1997
Oldsmobile Cutlass, also built at the Oklahoma plant. This Cutlass wasn't sold in
Canada, leaving the new
Intrigue as Oldsmobile's only mid-size offering there.
