I stumbled over this while looking for something else. Interesting that what I consider to be the ugliest Cutlii were the best selling. Oh well...
This chart also shows why those of us who grew up in the 1960s and 70s look down on more-doors.

Thanks Joe P. Facts are facts. Apparently others thought a Cutlii were good looking enough to buy one. More-doors were not desirable back than and they aren't now.

Back then there was such a thing as a family car. The amount of two doors that you saw was exactly what that chart says. One reason that I have always been a wagon fan. We saw four doors all day everyday.

I was 65, when I bought my first 4 door car. All others have been 2 doors.

I wonder how many of the 78-79 that were sold were the "Buttless Cutlass". The chart doesn't break down the Salon bodies.

Not your Grandfathers More Door car

Sorry, still not a fan.

joe_padavano

Actually, those numbers are available.

1978

Aeroback 2drs (Salon and Salon Brougham) = 31,939
Notchback 2drs (Supreme and Calais) = 399,639

1979

Aeroback = 11,956
Notchback = 459,047

The people have spoken.

Hey Joe, are all your 85's 2 dr models too?

joe_padavano

I wish. I didn't say that I was happy with the situation...

Besides two of them are for the wife, and she wants more door cars. The black one that is my DD these days is a stopgap until I get the 67 Delta done.
And obviously the 62 wagons and the 64 Vista and the Firenza wagon (and the two crewcab dually trucks) all have more than two doors.

A little bird told me that Steve DeNovi will be putting his 67 2dr Delta at Midwest Car Exchange soon.

joe_padavano

That's not the Delta Custom, is it?

Hammerdrop

No, confirmed, it is not a "custom". It is a 2 dr black Delta 88 with a 425 and 50 or 60k miles.

Sweet!
