1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Convertible

This 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Convertible is a wonderfully restored, well-documented Real Deal 4-4-2 convertible! In 1964, Oldsmobile's GM sister brand changed the course of automotive history when Pontiac released its performance-oriented GTO package and kicked off what would become the muscle car era. Of course, muscle car aficionados know that the muscle car was born when Pontiac took mid-size car and placed its large 389 cubic inch V8 into it with the GTO package. In an effort to stay on pace with Pontiac, Oldsmobile repackaged its lesser-known "Police Pursuit" package into its own new performance-oriented package, the "4-4-2" which was released in the middle of 1964 on the F-85/Cutlass midsize platform. In its initial year, 4-4-2 stood for a 4 barrel carburetor, 4 on the floor 4 speed manual transmission, and 2 (dual) exhausts.
