Model Overview:
During the Muscle Car wars of the 1960s and '70s, the Oldsmobile 442 emerged as a formidable contender, symbolizing power and performance. Originally introduced as an option package for the 1964 F-85 and Cutlass models within GM's family of “A” body intermediates, the 442 designation epitomized its attributes: a 4-barrel carburetor, a 4-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. Evolving over time, the 442 maintained its commitment to high-performance driving, transitioning into a standalone model by 1968, firmly rooted in Oldsmobile's popular Cutlass platform. As the golden era of Detroit muscle waned in 1971, the Oldsmobile 442 W-30 emerged as one of the last icons of this exhilarating period. The W-30 designation signified the epitome of the 442 lineup, boasting a specially tuned 455-cubic-inch V-8 engine delivering 350 horsepower, paired with a distinctive twin-scooped hood featuring functional ram air induction. Bold hood and bodyside stripes completed the iconic look, solidifying the W-30 as a true standout of its time.
