When I was 18 years old in 1978, the first car I owned was a 1972 Oldsmobile 98. It was a two-door color silver and black with vinyl interior seats, power windows, a power truck, and an AM and FM radio with an 8-track tape player.
I had a 67 cougar. It had a small pedal on the left side. When you pressed down, it would squirt washer fluid and sweep the wipers once. I found it very convenient.
My 71 Riviera has this option. I love it, the button is easily depressed with my pinky finger while the car is in Drive and my hands are at 10 and 2. Press halfway and hold to swipe the wipers until you let go, press in all the way to activate the washer solvent sprayers. There is a low & high speed wiper switch on the dash with a Wash button, press and hold to spray and it clicks the wipers into Low when you do. I rarely use the dash button, because the shifter button is just more ergonomically convenient.
Wow … the ‘71 Delta 88, the first car I remember my parents buying … the build quality was bad not only due to shitty tolerances, also because there was a GM strike in fall 1970. I vividly recall us pulling away from the dealer in January 1971, sitting in the back seat with my brother and hearing my dad already swearing about the squeaks! About the things you mentioned, and getting a car built by supervisors. We turned in a ‘66 Polara 500, metallic green with a black hardtop and the spinning hubcaps from the Charger. I loved that car. We still hung onto the Delta 88 for more than 5 years.
Mum’s 78 Cutlass was the first time we had a car with the single-wipe feature; it was mounted on the dash. And it wasn’t extremely annoying to use. Dad’s 77 Monarch didn’t have such a control, but his had the wiper control on the turn signal stalk, and it was vastly easier to use, both because it was closer to your hand, but also because the Monarch didn’t have “hidden” wipers. On the Olds, you had to hold the control in the “mist” position for 2-3 seconds until the wipers unparked themselves. If you let go too early they would just park themselves without sweeping the windshield, and you’d have to start all over again.
My dad's 1972 Buick Electra Limited had the Gearshift-Mounted Wiper Control... that car was a beautiful ride for sure. You never really knew how your mid 70's GM car would perform... I drove a 75 Buick Century 4 door with a Buick 350 2bbl carb and catalytic converter. That car really moved out well and had plenty of power... it was actually a very fast car for the era. I also owned a 76 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon with a 350 4bbl carb and that vehicle was a very weak performer... a Ford Pinto 4 Cylinder could go around it with absolute ease.
Around 1974 a new co-worker was obsessed with BMWs and took me to lunch a few times in his BMW 2002tii while he pointed out how advanced the features were compared to American cars of the day. One feature was the fully independent suspension which he demonstrated by putting the passenger wheels onto the rough shoulder of the road and how easy it was to recover versus the live rear axles that were prevalent. But I was more impressed with the stalks on the steering column that housed the wiper, headlights, and bright light functions without having to lean forward to scan and reach the instrument panel. It wasn’t until the mid-80s with the Taurus/Sable that an American manufacturer fully embraced logical ergonomics.
If you go to car shows in the Lansing area, you will find more Oldsmobiles typically. There's an Oldsmobile Homecoming show most years in Lansing that brings quite a variety.
I use the Mist feature on my wipers mostly when I'm wiping away morning dew and less when the vehicle is moving. Having the Mist control on a column mounted gearshift lever would be more convenient than having the control in the dash. Of course, being retired and having more flexibility in my schedule, I avoid driving in wet weather.
I remember a 1973 Buick Electra with this option. I only saw one car with that option. I was 10 years old and my friend’s father sold Buicks. He pointed out the control. Maybe they used some left-over parts from the Olds. My uncle’s 1973 Centurion did not have it.
Adam, look at the 74 Buick Electra 225’s glovebox lock. I believe it was a one year type lock. It was a pain in the A(; the way you put the key in and slide it to lock it!!
I remember when these were introduced and thought the new full sized '71 Olds 98's were beautifully restyled compared to the "dowdy" looking '70 model myself. I especially liked the mini "fins" above the taillights and the sculptured sides that bulged out at the wheels/fender skirts - could've passed for a Cadillac.
I got my license with my parents' new Grand Ville in 1971. What I remember about the wipers was that they had a sort of separate parking cycle where they'd park not on the bottom of the glass, but on a piece of metal running under the glass. When I'd turn the wipers on they'd require a brief period of time to come off the glass first, and same in reverse when stopping.
Adam, What a fascinating chapter in Oldsmobile gear shift history. Looking at the Cutlass in the brochure, I am reminded of the 3 wagons Oldsmobile was selling in 1971. With the full -size Custom Cruiser making its debut and joining the already famous Vista Cruiser in the lineup, we are left to contemplate the more obscure Cutlass Cruiser. 🤔
69 and up Pontiac had as standard equipment on all cars with hidden wipers a “pulse” feature. If you pushed the washer button half way and let go (when the wipers were off) it would give a single cycle of the wipers (no wash) and then shut back off automatically . A good idea but ironically the concealed wipers just took too long to get up into position to make it a worthwhile feature.
Adam, have you ever heard of the Cadillac “trunk positioner”? Years ago, I was looking through an old issue of Automobile Quarterly, and they had a big article on the 1965 Cadillacs. One of the options written about and pictured was the “trunk positioner”, that would allow the owner to pull the trunklid down and stay in a certain position, like half open. I know this option never made it to production, since it’s not mentioned in any brochure. Someone must have nixed it before production started, and I don’t see how anyone would want it - for example, I don’t see a Cadillac owner in 1965 driving around with the handle of a lawnmower sticking out of the trunk. But, I can remember seeing this in AQ, likely an issue from 1964 or ‘65. I imagine it went the way of Studebaker’s mechanical (not hydraulic) power steering, that almost made it to production for the Raymond Loewy designed ‘53 models (I read an article about that in an old Popular Mechanics or Mechanics Illustrated).
The ones I just saw on Google images had vertical HVAC controls and horizontal radios. They also had GM's infamous empty clock face if the optional clock had not been ordered. Speaking of that, one of the oddest filler pieces I've ever seen was the squishy square of plastic GM put in non-AC-equipped Citations in place of the driver's vent. It pivoted just a little for no apparent reason.
Holy cow! 2:28 It seems like the Olds Toronado had a primitive version of rear ABS back then. In the lower left corner of the brochure, they refer to "True-Track Braking". It says that a computer monitoring system automatically "pumps" the rear brakes for smooth straight line stops even during extreme braking. I also heard that GM was playing around with air bags in 1973. This disappeared by the early '80s though, as my 1982 Oldsmobile catalog does not mention any of that stuff. Instead, it mentions stuff like "Computer Command Control" aka a feedback Q-Jet with sensors and lockup torque converter and of course, the 350 diesel.
@@jonathanjohnson1339 I wondered whey they got rid of it? The "downsized" RWD cars from all of the Big 3 in the late '70/early '80s could've benefited from it. I don't think it reappeared until the early '90s when GM had the Bubble bodies ie the Roadmaster, Fleetwood, Caprice, Impala and Custom Cruiser. I could be wrong. Airbags (at least for the driver) also reappeared, due to gov't mandate. As for Ford, I think the Panthers got it back also around this time.
I loved my 78 Cutlass Supreme, and my cousins 73 Cutlass, I was just never a fan of the dashes on the full sized cars.. IDK why.. .I liked all the others Chevy, Pontiac and Buick.. never a big Caddy fan, but for some reason Olds never wowed me with the 71-76 big cars... Great Video.. Happy thanksgiving, Adam!!!
Mom, had a 72 Cutlass Supreme. 350. Oldsmobile didn't offer a 6 cylinder that year. That was a nice car. I wanted mom to get the 72 Luxury Le Man's. She didn't like the nose Pontiacs had. It was less. Money. GM made beautiful cars in the 60s and 70s. My first car was a 76 Pontiac Grand Le Man's. Beautiful car. Factory 8 track. Factory Air.
So much interesting content Adam. Thank you for providing it.. 👍 Also have to mention what an attractive looking car the '71 Delta 88 coupe was in side view as seen in that G-Ride system ad. Was that 'side vent' just aft of the door opening actually functional?
The closest thing to this feature I can recall was the automatic clutch on VW's "auto-stick" equipped Beetles. I've heard that some drivers complained about the fact that you couldn't rest your hand on the shift lever while driving because the slightest pressure would make the clutch kick out. Then there were Opels and Fox-body Fords (as well as a few English cars I can't name) which had the horn on the end of one stalk or another. One comment from the UK suggested that these designs were a response to campaigns by local governments to discourage unnecessary honking. Given the threatening road signs I've seen in NYC on the subject, I wouldn't be surprised.
The button has to go somewhere nearby and if you compare to our modern cars, the placement is not that odd if you think of the shifter as another stalk. Now, if they used the end of the gearshift as a cigarette dispenser - that would be WIERD. lol
I love the old 60s & 70s car ads. “We bought a new car let’s drive it into a field or onto a golf course & takes pics with it” Here’s a seductress very proud of her ‘71 Olds Ninety Eight.
I have an ad for a '73 Ninety Eight in my collection. It proudly has the chairman from Tiffany's on it and the car is parked in front of a fancy place with a well dressed couple- very classy. By the time they got to the early '80s (I believe the one I have is for 1983) the couple has that snobby "Yuppie" look as they walk out of a country club. The Olds is parked in front of a Valet area it looks like.
Fords had the horn at the end of the turn signal stalk for several years. Deloreans also used this feature as well which is interesting because in Back to the Future, marty hits his head on the steering wheel when the car won't start and somehow hits the non existant horn pad and the car magically starts when the horn honks.
1:30 I remember seeing "computer selected springs" on the list of standard equipment on the window sticker of a new 1979 bare-bones Nova and thinking they really did some embellishing to come up with that. Not that I didn't believe the springs were computer selected, or that such selection was not a good idea, but it seemed a bit desperate listing it as if it were something that might plausibly have been optional. In any case, given the lack of much of anything else on that sticker, the computer probably selected the lightest springs in its range.
Are there any rear wipers with an connection to the windshield wiper interval setting? It seems like regardless of what level the front is on I would like one rear activation per say 5 front activations.
Always intrigued to see an underdash mounted record player! I have seen pictures of aftermarket. But not sure what year, that it was an actual option on a car! Late 50's is a guess!
Wasn't there a "one button does everything" cruise control on the column shifter? I seem to recall something like that where you pushed to engage, pushed again to disengage, then did some other push sequence to tap up or tap down maybe?
Pretty much. I don't remember a cancel or disengage feature except for touching the brakes, but push once to engage, tap to increase speed, hold to coast is how the cruise control (shifter mounted) in Grandma's 1980 Skylark worked.
I had to comment again since you feature my 1st (drivers permitted 15 yr old) car- A blue 98 LS w/white vinyl top). Pretty car was mom's but she wanted a sporty new car so bought a Mazda RX 7 in 1980 (where i learned to stick shifting at the local huge parking lot😅 w/pop I kept that Olds tank car all the way to 1990 before i blew out the (recently overhauled) 455 Rocket that drank gas and oil like it was nuttin'. Gas was cheap in the 80s, luckily, but oh that smoke trail my oil burner would do back & forth for my daily haul 😮 Not proud of being an 80s rollin' coal mofos.

The Chevy Nova also used a vertical radio, starting with the 1968 redesign and going through 1974.

Vertical radio emulated 1960s Ramblers.
Didn't Ford put the horn on a stalk? In the 80s?
Escorts, I think?
Yes, starting with the Fox platform cars in 78.
I think that was on the turn signal stalk, not the gear lever.
It was 1975, not 1971 when unleaded fuel was mandated. That is when the fuel tanks had the flap and the ignition system had the H.E.I. distributor.
Buick had it too. Our 71 98 LS didn't have that feature,
Only ones i can think of on the column shifter is the tow/haul button on GM trucks and traction control on some GM cars in the 90s/00s
The front on the 71 was all steel, 72 the face was fiberglass
Interesting!
It was no-lead or low-lead fuels, 91 octane.
Adam, speaking of unleaded fuel, when did high octane unleaded become available?
I don’t remember when it was, but am also curious about that. I do remember the first brand that I ever saw with premium unleaded - it was Amoco.
I desperately tried to think of a GM vehicle with anything, but failed miserably. Trust you to find a solitary quirk 👌🖖🙏
