The Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera was a mid-size car produced from 1982 through 1996 at the Oklahoma City plant, the Saint Therese Assembly plant (until 1991) and Framingham, Massachusetts plant for the Oldsmobile division of General Motors. It shared the front-wheel drive GM A platform, which was based on the earlier X platform, with the very similar Buick Century, Pontiac 6000 and Chevrolet Celebrity, during those years. Available bodystyles included a 2-door coupé, 4-door sedan, and the Cutlass Cruiser station wagon (added in 1984). During the 1986 model year, the coupe received a new, more rounded roofline that was not shared with the other A-body models. At the same time as the Cutlass Ciera, Oldsmobile produced two other different Cutlass models, the smaller Cutlass Calais and the larger Cutlass Supreme. The car was featured prominently in the 1996 film Fargo.

1989
The Cutlass Ciera was updated for 1989, with the sedan receiving a new more modern roofline, and both coupe and sedan models wore updated rear-end treatments (the 1989/90 taillights were Oldsmobile-themed - squared with a center emblem, and 1991-96 models had a revised three-sectioned taillight lens similar to the Ford Mustang of the 1960s and 1994/95 model years). For 1992 the coupe, along with the sporty International Series models, were dropped. In 1996, the final model year, the cars dropped the Cutlass name and were known simply as Ciera. The Ciera was popular with rental fleets. Production of the Ciera ended on August 30, 1996, and it was replaced by the 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass.
