History
The following section is an excerpt from Wikipedia's Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais page on 28 January 2018, text available via the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
The Oldsmobile Calais, renamed the Cutlass Calais for 1988, and briefly available in 1987 as the limited edition GMO Quad 4, is a compact car that was produced by Oldsmobile from 1985 through 1991. In part, it was intended to replace the Omega in Oldsmobile's lineup. It shared the GM N platform with the Pontiac Grand Am and the Buick Skylark/Buick Somerset and was replaced by the Oldsmobile Achieva in 1992. During this time, Oldsmobile also produced two other Oldsmobile Cutlass models, the Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera and Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, each on its own platform. The 1985 Calais, named for Calais, France, was chosen to be the Indianapolis 500 Pace car that year; it was driven by actor James Garner.
