The Dark Maple Red Metallic paint may be fading but you can still see the lovely lines that made the Cutlass Ciera Oldsmobile’s best selling car for 14 years. This one was built in March of 1983 and sold to the Verhoff family by Jack Howell Chevrolet-Oldsmobile in Ottawa, Ohio, for the princely sum of $10,818. Base price for the LS Sedan was $8,892. Add to that the 4.3L diesel ($500), four-season air conditioning ($725), body side moldings ($55), accent stripe ($42), rocker panel moldings ($56), 14-inch radial tire upgrade ($36.60) and block heater ($42).

With a 119-inch wheelbase, the 9120 is a long tractor. That was a good thing from the weight balance and ride comfort standpoints, but made for a wide turning circle. This tractor weights more than nine tons before weight are added. It came standard with AWD and an 18-speed partial power shift transmission. This one has already lived a life of hard work but is not done yet. The rear dual radial tires make this a tractor that’s still up to long days in the field with big implements and tough ground. It’s seen here on AGCO Dealer J.L. Wannamacher’s lot in Ottoville, Ohio.
