Vehicle Description
The 1967 Oldsmobile 442 convertible was everything you could want.
It's big V8 power wrapped in a premium package, and so it's great
to find such a correct-style example. This is also quite a rare
piece of 60's muscle as only 3,080 real-deal 442 convertibles
produced in this year.
The Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible was already a great-looking car,
and the 442 package added a touch of aggression to its
straight-laced style. In fact, this one does it exactly right by
adding the polished Torq Thrust wheels and with larger 17-inch
size. Proper 442 tri-color badging and louvered hood add to the
performance attitude. This one was even upgraded from white to a
sporty red later in life. But while the powerful style announces
the big motor under the hood, we also love these because there's
always an underlying sophistication. The chrome bumpers have the
added shine of investment, and the way the rocker trim follows the
car's full form was a touch of Olds elegance. So it's attractive
for far more than just muscle car aggression.
Black and red are a timeless color combo, especially for powerful
machines. So we are not only happy to see the crisp black vinyl
roof, but with the flip of a switch, it disappears to also reveal
an eye-catching full black interior. There's plenty of room for
family and friends across two wide benches, but the driver is truly
the king. That's why you have a fold-down armrest for true
individual comfort. This has a ton of terrific vintage details,
like the working courtesy lights, three-spoke Olds steering wheel,
and the classic AM/FM radio that's there for display. But because
this is a true driver's classic they cleanly installed under the
dash an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input. That way you get to choose
the best driving music for this 442.
Under the hood is exactly what you want to see. The 400 cubic-inch
V8 is an era-correct powerhouse that looks exceptionally stock. So
you can love it for a survivor-like presentation or give the 442
air grabber a nice polish to really make it pop. Underneath that is
an upgraded four-barrel carburetor w/electric choke. The power
makes a terrific rumble as it exits out of the dual exhaust
(Yes...400 cubic inches, four-barrel carburetor, and dual exhaust:
the namesake of the 1967 Oldsmobile 4-4-2.) Plus, features like the
stout TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
power brakes, front discs, and grippy modern tires keep this big
motor classic in the confident cruiser category.
The trim tag tells you this is a real-deal 442, and the exhaust
tells you there's a big V8 under the hood... So this powerful
convertible offers a very appealing package. Call today!!!
