The Cutlass began in 1961 as the best-trimmed version of Oldsmobile's compact F-85 and grew into a mid-sized line of its own. It was the basis of the 4-4-2 muscle car, and in 1976 it became the best-selling car in America, a spot it held several more times into the 1980s. The name was used until 1999.
