By 1969, the Oldsmobile 442 had earned its rightful place in the raging Muscle Car wars. All of the American Marques were “swinging for the fence” in hopes to grab up as many enthusiastic car buyers as possible.
The debut year: 1964, the 442 was available only with a 4 speed manual transmission. Makes sense as 4-4-2 meant: 4 bbl, 4-speed, dual exhaust. As the 1960’s rolled on, a 3 speed manual transmission, and an automatic transmission became available…
This particular 442 stays true to it’s original form in that it left the factory with a 4 bbl, a 4 speed, and dual exhaust. Love that!
Add to this a beautiful color combination of Burgundy Mist paint, deep black bucket seat interior, and a crisp white power convertible top, and you have the best of both worlds…A smooth, classy, upscale, well appointed, comfortable car, and, a strong, high performance V8, with an equally stout drive train!
Completely restored with all of it’s factory original components, and quality workmanship to include the paint, interior, engine and drive train, this 442 convertible is as much a fine investment as it is a fun investment.
An absolute pleasure to drive, this 442 will turn heads as fast as it turns the tires, and will put a smile on everyones face who sees it either standing still, or cruising the boulevard!
1,161 Oldsmobile 442 convertibles with 4 speeds were produced..That’s not very many! Considering this outstanding color combination, the list of options, and the quality of restoration, this is a rare and spectacular Muscle car that has the look, the performance, and the desirability we all need in a classic car! Truly an excellent example of the iconic Oldsmobile 442!
