History: Greetings! I’ve finally decided to sell my beloved 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera convertible. Here is the history: Back in late 1985, Thacker Olds - Cadillac in Annapolis, MD acquired a loaded Olds Ciera convertible. Since GM did not offer a factory convertible, the convertible conversion was professionally done by Hess & Eisenhardt (H & E) coachworks in Cincinnati, OH. Upon seeing this unique car on the showroom floor, I immediately fell in love and promptly purchased it in March 1986. For the age of this vehicle, the condition is fantastic! Not surprising considering this car was: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 On Jan-27-16 at 20:13:57 PST, seller added the following information: History: Greetings!

The V6 engine starts easily and the transmission shifts fine as well. All four power windows are functional as is the power convertible top. To properly assess the car’s overall condition, please refer to the 24 photos included with this listing. Note how both the interior and exterior are in great condition for a car of this vintage. Inside, there are no stains or tears on the leather seats. Outside, the body is free of any substantial dents or scratches and there is no visible body rust. The Gloss Black paint still has an alluring shine as evidenced by the reflections in the pictures. Also, both the convertible top and boot are free of tears or UV degradation. Best of all, the entire car is almost 100% original right down to the wire wheel covers and floor mats! While there are numerous positives with this car, in the honesty of disclosure, there are a few problem areas. While by no means an auto mechanic, these are the issues I’m aware of: Paint flaws on hood (Should eventually be resprayed).Driver’s power seat not operational (Motors run, but no movement).Trunk air struts won’t hold trunk open and need replaced.Left headlight bezel is damaged (See detail photo - GM Part #22527845 provided free to new owner!). To further enhance the collectibility, the following items will be included: The original title. GM Olds Cutlass Ciera Owner’s Manual.Hess & Eisenhardt Convertible Manual.Miscellaneous 1985 GM Documents.Service Records.The original spare tire and portable jack.Spare key.Front license plate mounting bracket (currently installed). You would be hard pressed to locate a Cutlass Ciera of this vintage in better condition and with fewer miles. Furthermore, it would be nearly impossible to find one this nice with a Hess & Eisenhardt convertible conversion. For sure, this is a rare find that would make a great collectible car!
