Description 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass S

Hurst mocked this car up as a proposal for a 1976 Hurst/Olds.  Oldsmobile declined.  It was then revised into a 1977 proposal (seen here).  The goal is to eventually return this car to 1976 proposal specs.

got any shots of a Supreme forom about the same era? Been re-watching Mythbusters, and they used a '78 for fuel-efficiency conspiracy tests, and BY GOD it was gorgeous. Until, of course, they wrecked it

Mmmm... the grille isn't quite the same - the chrome ruins the slick transition theirs had, and I don't think the picture  quite does it justice tbh

Of course theirs might not have been in pristine condition - the chrome of the grille may simply have been missing.

This is a different model year.  Back in that era they changed the grills and trim on a yearly basis (for example, this one has quad lights as opposed to the duals on the one used in the show).  They're not particularly collectible, so there's not much interest in them, and hence I don't see them at car shows.  It is what it is.  Instead I wade through rows of modern cars I can see on a used car lot and an endless array of street rods that are 'expressions of the owner's creativity' that all look surprisingly alike.  *Rolls eyes*

Thus proving there really is no such thing as "original thought;" no matter how off the wall your idea is, with billions of people out there, somebody else has thought of it, too.
