Today I learned I need a Hurst Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in my life. ‘Cuz that’s just frickin’ glorious, man.

Sadly, I do not have 30 grand of disposable income in my life. Sigh...

I wish Oldsmobile were still around just so they could make machines like this today....

It could do without the wing.

I’ve started to think about ways to make a white XJ more palatable, visually speaking. Green highlights, hmm.

I have the toy car version of this. Would love to have the real thing.

If they were still around today their offerings would likely focus around something like the Trax, except with a classic Olds name that just makes people who know any car history sad..

Eh, it’s unnecessary but not the end of the world. I think it’s just there because the real Hurst Olds had them, so the wagon version should as well.

Actually they’re gold highlights, but green might work as well.

This, the future of GM is pickups, SUVs, and Chinese developed crossovers.

I never knew they built a Hurst wagon! Very cool.

My buddy daily drives an old Vista he dubbed the “Vista Bruiser”. Check him out at:

Oldsmobile never officially made a Hurst Olds Vista Cruiser,  but a few people have built their own using Hurst Olds parts, and this is one of them. Kinda like how Pontiac never made a GTO wagon, but a few exist because enthusiasts made their own. Doesn’t make it any less cool, though! Also, your friend’s Vista Bruiser is neat!

Like others, I could do without the wing.  But that is gorgeous.

The spoiler is a bit much but it suits the era of the car.

That is fantastic. I wish I had the cash because I think the price is reasonable too

It’s the kind of detail I might roll my eyes about, but secretly love and decide “it’s not worth removing” :)

My thoughts exactly. Take the roof spoiler off and it would be perfect.
