Jim Stohlman is a Name That Might Be Familiar to Many Muscle Car Guys, Especially if You're a Fan of Classic Oldsmobiles From the Heyday of Muscle. Jim Had One of the Largest Olds Dealerships on the East Coast and Ran His Virginia Showroom Right Up to the Day Gm Pulled the Plug on the Storied Brand. He's Had More Than His Share of Classic, Top-notch Muscle Rides, and Counts Over a Hundred Prime Examples Which He's Held the Title on Since His Youth. Those Cars Include Four of the Original Fifty-four '66 W30 442's Built by Oldsmobile During the Opening Salvos of the Muscle Car Era.
Back in 1980, Jim Had the Opportunity to Snatch Up a Clean 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Flat Top Wagon From California. The Deal Was a No-brainer in His Mind, So the Long-hauler Was Quickly Sent Packing for Its New Home in Virginia. The Wagon Was at His Shop When a Very Rusty 1970 442 Parts Car Was Brought in for Its Last Rites. "i Belonged to an Oldsmobile Club Called the Capital City Rockets, a Club That Still Exists Today Out of Washington D.c. I Would Have Garage Days at the Dealership Where Guys Would Bring Their Rides to the Shop and Work on Them. I Decided to Give That Dilapidated 442 to the Club for Parts. I Took the Engine and Trans, and the Rest of the Club Took the Parts They Needed for Their Own Rides," States Jim.
That Engine and Trans Combo Was Soon Put to Good Use. "I Took the Station Wagon Into the Shop and Dropped the 455/four-speed Combo From the 442 Into Its Engine Bay. Since the Wagon Was in Good Shape, It Became an Instant Driver. I Used It Sparingly as a Local Cruiser," States Jim.
