Available in just three body styles, the Supreme line was the only means by which an Oldsmobile customer in 1970 could attain a convertible--reintroduced into the sub-series for the first time since 1967--in Lansing's version of the cozy A-body intermediate. Still riding on the redesigned 1968 two-door platform--meaning a 112-inch wheelbase--the convertible's frame included fully boxed side rails to aid in rigidity. Bolted against the foundation was a GM-standard independent front suspension and coil-sprung rear counterpart. Power brakes (front drums or rotors) and power steering were handling and control options.

Oldsmobile's power team for the Supreme began with a 310hp version of the 10.25:1 compression 350-cu.in. engine, which included a four-barrel carburetor and a dual exhaust system. Buyers had the luxury of choosing a more economical two-barrel/single exhaust 350 that, with its reduced 9.0:1 compression, was rated for 250hp. The single upgrade over the base engine on the option chart was the 10.25:1-compression, two-barrel carbureted, 455-cu.in. V-8 that, at least on paper, was rated for 320hp. Backing these engines, depending upon certain conditions, were the three- or four-speed manuals, or the Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 or Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 (featuring a Dual-Gate shifter when ordered with a console) automatics. The final point of transfer for engine output was a standard open differential, or Anti-Spin option, the final drive ratio contained within varying based on engine/transmission combinations.

The Supreme body was slightly reworked for 1970, most notably the location of the side markers, lack of wide rocker and wheel opening trim and a completely reworked rear bumper and taillamps. Also tweaked were the front bumper, split grilles and hood, which provided a cleaner overall appearance to the front end. Inside, occupants were surrounded by "near limousine luxury" when they sat on double-padded, Moroceen vinyl-clad bench seats, or front buckets flanking a center console. Sprinkled throughout were burled elm vinyl appliqués, choice of radio and a full complement of gauges; air conditioning and a sport steering wheel were among the popular options.

This beautiful car runs and drives with an impressive growl from the factory V8. The car appears to need a new water pump and there is a leak that was seen during inspection (see the video). Additonally and realistically, she will likely need other investments of time, energy and money to ensure she's roadworthy and reliable to get you from A to B. Brand New Battery just installed a week ago. Sold As Is. Due to the leaking water pump we suggest bringing a flatbed or having your preferred mechanic come to safely pick her up so a new pump can be installed asap to prevent the engine from overheating. This would also serve as a perfect opportunity to have then perform a full inspection to inform you of any issues the vehicle has that may need attention.
