The Oldsmobile 4-4-2 (also known as the 442) is a muscle car
produced by Oldsmobile between the 1964 and 1987 model years.
Introduced as an option package for US-sold F-85 and Cutlass
models, it became a model in its own right from 1968 to 1971,
spawned the Hurst/Olds in 1968, then reverted to an option through
the mid-1970s. The name was revived in the 1980s on the rear-wheel
drive Cutlass Supreme and early 1990s as an option package for the
new front-wheel drive Cutlass Calais.
The "4-4-2" name (pronounced "Four-four-two") derives from the
original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual
transmission, and dual exhausts (Some maintain that the '2'
indicated a limited-slip differential). It was originally written
"4-4-2" (with badging showing hyphens between the numerals), and
remained hyphenated throughout Oldsmobile's use of the designation.
Beginning in 1965, the 4-4-2s standard transmission was a 3 speed
manual along with optional 2 speed automatic and 4 speed manual,
but were still badged as "4-4-2"s. Because of this change, from
1965 on, according to Oldsmobile brochures and advertisements, the
4-4-2 designation referred to the 400 cubic inch engine, 4 barrel
carbeurator, and dual exhausts. By 1968 badging was shortened to
simply "442", but Oldsmobile brochures and internal documents
continued to use the "4-4-2" model designation.
