That A/C belt has been off a while so you can count on A/C work. It appears to have Oldsmobile's Custom Air Conditioning instead of Comfortron which makes repair a little easier.

 

Car really doesn't look bad except that front seat. Wear is one thing but the stains make you wonder about a windshield leak, and what you'd get into fixing that. Notice this car has a "halo" style vinyl roof.

 

Oddly optioned too with wind-up windows, yet a 60/40 split bench seat. 

 

Even though the front end styling is a little "heavy" I like the 71 and 72. They still had a little bit of grace and svelte- which Toronado lost completely when the federalized bumpers appeared.

 

Wish I could read that dealer badge. Mitchell Motors and Ed Voyles Oldsmobile were both in business in Atlanta during the 1971 timeframe.

Come on now.  It just needs a recharge!

 

Who took over styling for Olds in 71?  Stevie Wonder?

A.J.:

Wayne Kady's Advance Design Studio generated many of the overall themes and detail features that eventually were 'production-ized' by the specific make studios.  Bill Mitchell, much like his mentor Harley Earl, seemed to be losing his 'touch' when it came to which designs were given the green light as the late 1960's moved into the 1970's; heavy-handed and overwrought.   Before he retired in 1978, Mitchell did redeem his design leadership reputation somewhat with the 1975 Cadillac Seville and the full-sized 1977 downsizing program.
