Vehicle Description
The name had its roots in a simple formula: 4-barrel, 4-speed, dual
exhaust. As simple as it was, the 442 moniker became the symbol of
a most intimidating machine, the Oldsmobile 442 - but few were as
instantly intimidating as this 1969 442 convertible, whose
triple-black color scheme evokes a singularity of purpose furthered
by its blacked-out grille and chrome dual-exhaust trumpets. This is
a unique 442 convertible, thanks to its combination of color,
4-speed manual transmission and factory air conditioning. This
genuine Code 344 442 is the culmination of an excellent restoration
to complete factory originality, including its 400ci Rocket V8
engine, power steering, power brakes, wood-grain sport steering
wheel, bucket seats, console, power windows, remote driver's mirror
and pushbutton radio. From the John Staluppi Cars of Dreams
Collection.
