The Oldsmobile 4-4-2 (also known as the 442) is a muscle car that was originally introduced as an option package for US-sold F-85 and Cutlass models, but 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 "4-4-2" name (pronounced "Four-four-two") derives from the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhaust system. This muscle car crazy style design celebrates these legendary performers that were well-known to tear it up both on the street and on the track.

Back in the '60s, 'racing division member' decals were all the rage, and this Oldsmobile example is no exception. They all followed the same basic formula, and muscle car aficionados would add them to their rides to give them a little more street cred ;)

1968 was a very big year for the 442, starting with the fact that it was finally made into its very own model. From the time that the first 442 was released in 1964 up until 1967, it had been purely a performance package that could be added to the F-85 or Cutlass midsized Oldsmobile lines. With stellar sales and growing interest in the muscle car class as a while, Olds wisely decided to put the 442 out on its own. 442 models that came equipped with the W-30 Force-Air induction system took in cold air from around these lights. The W-30 package, which had been first introduced at the end of the 1966 model year, had unique internal engine modifications that included special heads and a high output cam.

The 1968 Cutlass represents the start of the third generation of this car. In 1968 it was advertised as the car that performs young, rides young, and feels young.
