This is a real-deal 1970 oldsmobile 442 at it's best. This is a very well done respray of the factory-correct bamboo cream. In fact, there was so much invested in the restoration, that this received top tier scores for paint and body at oldsmobile club of america meet in 2014. The color nicely represents the premium oldsmobile image, which gives the car a great dual luxury and performance personality it had from day one. The best example of is probably the dual hood stripes. They are usually reserved for an aggressive image, but when it combines with the premium black vinyl roof, original-style goodyear polyglas tires, and the pinstripes, it almost feels like this car has a subtle two-tone. These are the sleek kings of the streets, with the fastback profile, bulging quarter panels, force-air hood, twist lock hood pins, and spoiler on the rear deck. Plus, the nicely integrated chrome rear bumper design was one of the best to ever come out of the '70s. The black interior is pure oldsmobile. The handsome button-pattern buckets have to be this perfect because they attract so much attention. And, when the wood-like appearance is this good, it does a very nice job of adding character to the interior. There's comfortable seating for up to six, but this is a true driver's car at heart. The engine bay is an impressive time machine that looks like this car just left the lancing factory. That's all part oft the investment in this car's care. As usual with an oldsmobile, no matter how much power it's putting down, it still has all-day usability. This comes from features such as front disc brakes. This is a real-deal (vin 344) olds 442 in amazing and distinctive paint.
