Tests
of the OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS SUPREME TURNPIKE CRUISER when the car was
newly released averaged out to approximately 16.8 Hwy MPG.
Magazine
tests rarely evaluated a regular 1967 Cutlass, but there are plenty of tests of
the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with the amazing Turnpike Cruiser package. The TC package
gave decent gas mileage for the era, stable and very quiet high speed handling,
plenty of room in a package that provided easier parking than a full size car.
The TC had lots of torque for decent acceleration and hauling families with
luggage over Interstate highways economically, quickly and comfortably.
The
name Turnpike Cruiser was first used a decade earlier by the Mercury division
over at Ford. Interstate philosophy inspired comfortable highway cruisers or
full size economy cars. Various formats appeared over the years but it
wasn't until 1967 with the Oldsmobile Turnpike Cruiser that all the
elements came together in one package…….
……
The 1967 Oldsmobile Turnpike Cruiser took all the factors that had been
tried before, incorporated them into one new package and expanded upon the
concepts further. The Olds TC came on the heels of the home run Oldsmobile
achieved with the Toronado the previous year. Olds was known as a cutting edge
division back in the 1950s. In 1966 Olds revived their image as innovators with
the radical for the time full size front wheel drive Toronado. Cadillac let them
work out the bugs, and then used the platform for the new Eldorado in 1967. In
1967 Olds beat a new path ahead of the crowd again with the Turnpike
Cruiser. Below is one of the first advertisements for the TC which appeared
in the page of the
Oldsmobile
magazine ROCKET CIRCLE.
The
Turnpike Cruiser Package was only available on the top 1967 Oldsmobile
Cutlass model, the Supreme. Out of the five Supreme body styles, the
442 and Turnpike Cruiser could only be ordered on the two doors: Sports Coupe,
Holiday Coupe and Convertible. The economy family hauler formula was slightly
changed this time by building it into an intermediate instead of a full size car
as was every other prior attempt by other manufacturers. The Olds TC didn't stop
at economy. The frame and suspension was pure 442, making the TC a valid high
speed highway cruiser.
The
TC squeezed out decent MPG even with a 400 engine. The tiny two
barrel carburetor was calibrated to work with a revised camshaft.
Cam
timing optimized torque at a lower RPM range to accommodate the highway cruising 2.41
rear axle. The AMA specs on the car list both 2.41 and 2.56 axles. The magazine
test cars used 2.41, but the axle was switched up to a 2.56 ratio upon
public release. The early 1966 advertisement above lists a 2.41, proving that
Olds originally intended to release the lower axle to the public
Below
are a few pages out of the AMA spec sheet issued by Oldsmobile. AMA sheets are
available through the Oldsmobile History Center, Lansing Michigan and GM Canada
Historical, Oshawa, Ontario. To see other pages of this booklet refer to the 67
Cutlass 330 story also in the GAS LOGS section.
Oldsmobile
barely mentioned the TC package in the spec sheet, providing minimal information
about the 400 engine in the detailed charts to follow.
As
seen above, the TC used the Turbo- Hydro Matic 3 speed auto which was
otherwise only available for the 442 or as an option on the Custom Vista
Cruiser. All other F85 and Cutlass packages had to make do with the two
speed Jetaway. The Turnpike Cruiser used a unique Turbo-Hydro Matic with
modifications specific to the Turnpike Cruiser application.
Below
is a dealer bulletin dated Oct 11, 1966 updating the sales people about the
Turnpike Cruiser package. The dealer brochures provided sparse information about
the TC.
One
important part of the TC package was a new Oldsmobile system named Climatic
Combustion Control. This system provided heated air at startup ducted
in from atop the exhaust manifold. As the engine warmed up, a plate in the air
cleaner opened to mix in cooler air maintaining constant air temperature.
Controlled air temperature allows carburetor settings to be optimized at
100 degrees F. The Turnpike Cruiser was thus able to run leaner carb
settings than typical 1967 carburetors which had compromise settings designed to blanket
a wide variety of outside air temperatures. This system was optional on other
Oldsmobile engines and later became a standard item on most US cars in the
1970s. Below is a diagram of the system in the 1967 Oldsmobile dealership sales
brochure.
The Turnpike
Cruiser handling was the equal of the 442: both have a convertible
frame and heavy duty suspension which improves stability at high cruising
speeds. The 442 was considered the best handling of the muscle cars of that
era. Even the standard Cutlass with regular suspension was praised for balanced
handling in an Owners Report published in May 1967 POPULAR MECHANICS. Anyone
who has driven a 1967 Cutlass will notice the directional stability and nice
cornering of the car. It is a terrific handling car when considered in
the context of the era it came from.
The
Turnpike Cruiser tested by magazines improved handling an extra step with
radial tires which were offered primarily to boost the economy of the
package. The added side effect of great dry handling was a bonus that testers considered
not worth it in view of the scary wet handling. Rain and wet adhesion was too
slippery. Radial tires have come a long way since then. The radial tires weren't
included in the public version of the TC, but radials could be ordered as an
option in addition to the TC package.
The
magazine testers had cruise control on their TC packages to enhance MPG one step
further, but couldn't realize the potential because even back then traffic was
too congested to truly cruise on the highways near metropolitan areas. Sadly,
the powerful and yet fairly economical Turnpike Cruiser wasn't a major success
due to consumer indifference. The concept trickled into the 1968
2 barrel 442 option and the 1970 Cutlass SX which offered a 2 barrel 455.
Extrapolating
from the lousy police fleet MPG, someone using a 1967 Oldsmobile
Turnpike Cruiser primarily for stop and go won't realize the advantages of
the TC. This may be the reason for the failure of this great car to catch
on with the public. Joe Average primarily commutes to work and grocery
stores, typically only vacationing for 2 weeks a year. Even the guy
commuting 100 miles from the suburbs to work was likely trapped in gridlocks
which were common even as early as the 1960s.
Aside
from long distance salesmen few people mainly drive on uncluttered
Turnpikes far enough to derive benefit from the TC. Given the low price of
gasoline at the time, the cost of the TC package wouldn't entice many
buyers. The package was cheap at $142.18 but the mandatory Turbo Hydromatic
option coupled with the TC inflated the cost quite a bit. Rather than the
economy angle, the TC held appeal to someone wanting smooth quiet fast
poised cruising capability.
ENCYCLOPEDIA
OF AMERICAN CARS FROM 1930 says 62,178 Cutlass Supreme Sports Coupes, Holiday
Coupes and Convertibles were built in 1967. STANDARD CATALOG OF AMERICAN CARS
1946-1975 quotes 1967 Cutlass Supreme production numbers as follows: Sport
Coupe: 18,256, Holiday Coupe: 57,858, Convertible: 10,897 which totals 87,011.
There were 24,849 cars built with the 442 package which was available on the
same three Cutlass Supreme models as the Turnpike Cruiser. That means 62,162
Cutlass Supremes in those three body styles were not 442s. This SCAC number
is close but not exactly the same as the EAC number.
Below
are the old CAR LIFE articles. Following the articles, OOCC has created a
summary of the Turnpike Cruiser MPG figures from various sources.
This
article is from CAR LIFE April 1967. CL tested the TC extensively and
enthused that it was the car of the future. Unfortunately it took a few decades
before USA car makers began producing cars capable of running low RPMs at
highway speeds. Occasionally a decent sized highway cruiser would pop
up such as Chrysler's 1976 Feather Duster and Dart Lite, but economy was
usually equated with small econo boxes. We never really saw the potential
of the TC translated to reality. Eventually when CAFE standards began worrying
automakers, low highway RPMs were accomplished using overdrive transmissions
rather than low rear axles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE
TURNPIKE CRUISER MPG ORIGINAL MAGAZINE TESTS
HOT
ROD tested a Turnpike Cruiser in their April 1967 issue and came up with
"18-21 MPG" while riding on 195R14 sized radials and running drum
brakes for less drag.
CAR
LIFE April 1967 recorded steady speed gas mileage for the Turnpike
Cruiser. A steady 60 mph produced 19.2 MPG, at 70 it was 17.2, at 80 it was
still an impressive 15.2, and at 90 it was 13.1. They also were running four
wheel drums and Uniroyal 195 radials.
MOTOR
TREND Feb 1967 tested the Turnpike Cruiser and recorded 16.3 MPG
Highway at a steady 70 mph.
The POPULAR
MECHANICS Owners Report tabulated the results for Cutlass drivers
with the 400 4 barrel and the Turbohydromatic 3 speed auto: 11.9 MPG City
and 14.7 Highway. The 400 engine Cutlass is listed without reference to what
proportion were 442s or Turnpike Cruisers, but mentioning a four barrel
carb suggests they were all 442s. The 442 was more popular, so it's likely that
the majority of the data came from 442s with the automatic transmission and
the normal auto 3.08 axle. There may have been a few Turnpike Cruisers
represented in this figure. To read about the 1967 442 check the story filed
after this one in the GAS LOGS.

MPG
REAL LIFE USER- 22 MPG Hwy. John Gordon has owned a 1967 Cutlass
Supreme Holiday Coupe Turnpike Cruiser for over 20 years.
He
was a GM Century Cruise Participant on August 16, 2008 cruising from the GM
Global Headquarters at the Renaissance Center up Woodward Avenue to the heart of
the Woodward Dream Cruise in Royal Oak and the surrounding suburbs. John wrote
an article about his car for The GM Heritage Center website. John bought
the car in 1987 and has kept it in show car condition. It is never
trailered to shows no matter how far.
"When
I drive my car on the open road at 65 miles per hour, I can get about 22 miles
to the gallon. Some of the newer cars on the road now do not get that kind of
gas mileage. But, when I want to play or show off a bit, I can touch that
accelerator and be gone in a flash. Unfortunately, I’m getting a bit too old
now to behave in such a manner very often, but I’m not dead yet so every now
and then... "
The
Turnpike Cruiser produced figures equal or superior to the
regular 330 Cutlass highway mileage figures. A standard 330 four barrel
Cutlass using Jetaway 2 speed auto with 3.08 axle managed City figures of 13.3
and Hwy 16.3 MPG according to readers reports submitted to POPULAR MECHANICS
April 1967.
An
OOCC contributor, Magnus King recorded 8.5 City and 18.2 Hwy with a Cutlass
330 2 barrel, Jetaway and 2.78 axle. To see more details look up 1967 Cutlass in
the Gas Log section. To read road trip stories taken in that Cutlass
go to Destinations section and read DESERT OLDS and ROUTE 66.
