Why 1982 or later? This bodystyle was introduced in 1980.

The quarter glass on rear door is open. Never seen that before on a sedan.

If I recall, the rear windows in the G-body sedans did not roll down. These pop-outs were the only things that opened.

Thats stupid. What was GM's reason for that?

Probably cost - that way they did not have to engineer the mechanics to roll the rear window up/down. Most of those cars had factory air conditioning as well.

I don't agree that it's a 1982- model - I checked my references and older versions of the 4-door Cutlass Supreme sedan (1978-81) also looked the same from that angle. Given this single photo, there is no reliable way to say what year it is.

The Buick version of the 1980-83 G-body 4-door sedan (Century or Regal, depending on model year) also had powered rear quarter windows. When I was small, friends of my parents owned a 1981 Buick Century and I distinctly remember being impressed by them opening and closing.. :-)

Thanks for the clarification on the C-piller style :)

I agree... could be as old as a 1980. I think it's a Brougham trim because of the wire wheel covers and opera light on the C-pillar.

I think the confusion comes in because the first two years these were "Cutlass", and in 1982 they became "Cutlass Supreme". I think it's the same year they went from being A-bodies to G-bodies.
