    1966 442 Coupe

    The first generation of the 442 was a subtle but capable version of Oldsmobile’s lowkey coupes and convertibles. Generally not as flashy as their Pontiac GTO cousins, the 442 was nonetheless available with very effective and powerful motors, and firmer suspension components, to make for a more sporting car than the Cutlass upon which it was based. The model year 1966 also saw Oldsmobile add some more style to the exterior, with a more steeply raked C-pillar, and rear fenders with a rising profile and increased height.

    This is a beautifully and comprehensively restored example of the iconic Oldsmobile 442. Not only benefiting from exceptional cosmetic and mechanical work, this example has only been driven 500 miles since the restoration, and it shows in every aspect.
