1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 convertible
If this car is authentic it's one of only 436 Cutlass 442 convertibles made in 1964. That was the year that GM approved engines larger than 330 cubic inches for mid-size cars. Pontiac immediately introduced the GTO and Chevy the Chevelle Super Sport, while Buick followed up with the Skylark Gran Sport in 1965. For Oldsmobile, it was the "4-4-2", named for the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. Love that air cleaner!
This car is authentic - I'm the owner. We restored this car from the ground up, it was a 7 year labor of love. My husband brought it home, he'd always wanted one and who am I to crush his dreams? It's been modernized in a few very subtle ways - it's a car meant to be driven and enjoyed. And we drive it as frequently as possible :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura, it's a magnificent car. I've never seen an authentic '64 before.
