MANY EXPERTS CLAIM THAT OLDSMOBILE
CREATED THE FIRST MUSCLE CAR WHEN IT STUFFED IT'S HOT
NEW ROCKET V8 INTO A SUPER 88 SERIES BACK IN 1949. BUT IT WASN'T
UNTIL 1964 THAT OLDS
WOULD RETURN TO THE CONCEPT, ENCOURAGED BY THE SUCCESS OF THE PONTIAC GTO.
FOLLOWING PONTIAC'S LEAD, OLDSMOBILE BEGAN TO OFFER FULL SIZE MUSCLE IN THE
MID-SIZE CUTLASS MODEL.
THIS PACKAGE, NAMED 4-4-2, SIGNIFIED THE USAGE OF A
4
BARREL CARB, A 4
SPEED TRANSMISSION & 2

EXHAUSTS. ALTHOUGH SPECIFICATIONS WOULD CHANGE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, THE
NAME STUCK.
WHILE NEVER THE FASTEST OR BEST SELLER OF THE GM A-BODIES, THE 4-4-2 IS
KNOWN FOR IT'S BALANCED PERFORMANCE AND EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING AND HAS
BECOME ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER COLLECTIBLE MUSCLE CAR'S TODAY.
THIS RESTORED 1965 OLDS 4-4-2 REPRESENTS AN OUTSTANDING & RARE
