I own one of these, convertible. Bought it when I was 16. Took my wife on our first date in this, she was 14. I’m 62 and we’re still two kids when we take it out. Our routine is while top down cruising; she says you’re going too fast, I say what? I can’t hear you, you want to go faster? Down goes the peddle up goes the laughter volume. What a great life and wife I’ve been blessed with.

When I was a kid, the Olds 442 W-30 and Cutlass S W-31 were my heart throbs! I never heard of a W-32; maybe it was produced in Canada? Gorgeous car! The original paint may have been a metallic mint green, which was popular back then. The saying was, "it could pass everything on the road, except the gas station and the radar trap!" I'd love to hear it run!!

Beautiful 442 and one heck of a wash & detail. Back in 1993 i pulled a 1974 442 out of a garage at my then Wife's Uncles garage. It was covered in mice and they ran from everywhere. The car was White with Black racing stripes ,bench seat w/auto on the column. The mold and dirt in the white paint took time to clean up but it looked decent when I was done. Unfortunately i sold the car and the nimrod that bought it broke the frame and it went to the junk yard in the sky !!!!

It looks like it has the W32 option if it has the 400 engine, automatic transmission, special camshaft, heavy duty suspension and cooling system. It looks like someone added W30 stuff on it like the induction system and red inner fender wells. I hope one day you guys take a car as special as this car and do a mega detail like detailing the engine and really take the detail to the next level so the car is transformed. As always great video guys!

This 442 looks pretty solid especially considering that it came from Ohio. Back in the mid 70's tires like these with big fat raised white letters were available at your local tire dealer. They were very popular with the younger crowd at the time! I personally liked the Firestone Super Sport tire with the big fat raised letters. In 1980 I bought a 1970 Matador Red 442 convertible with the 365 horse 455. It was pretty fast and it had BF Goodrich radial T/A's on the styled rallye wheels that were original to the car. Anyhow great job on getting the old 442 all cleaned up!

My dad assembled Cutlass and 442’s in the 60’s and 70’s at the Framingham Massachusetts plant. That one being a Lansing car wouldn’t have been one of his. But he bought a 69 red 442 assembled at Framingham with the GM employee discount. A 400 4spd car that was loaded with options. He bought one every two years.

I remember seeing these tires on many Oldsmobile products. Pause the video at 13:32, you could see the amount of safety protection you had in those days. Back then, there were no airbags. But you did have a padded dash on some cars.

Back in the day w RWL tires I used SOS pads. Didn’t have any of these sprays in the 70s/80s.

My grandmother had an Oldsmobile with a 442 in it. When I was 16, an used to drive it. Man I wish I had that car. What a beautiful car y'all just cleaned up!

442 is the model, not the engine size.
