When my dad came back from Vietnam, he bought a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 with the W30 package. 455cu in, 4 speed, 3:90 gears! He loved that car! This W32 package depending on year should have the 400cu in with 350hp. Still an awesome car!!

I definitely remember those tires from the 1970s! They had full tread, which made them safe for daily driving while emulating the look of drag slicks. They were bias-ply (not radial) and a must-have for street rodders.

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!!

Thanks for the memories. I grew up in Lansing, MI, where these were made. For all us schoolboys, the 442 was our dream car. Thanks again.

I had a '69 Olds 442 when I was in the Navy. This brought back some memories.

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 !!!!

I hope they have the original wheels still! Although I think they would probably be painted the original body color of "Meadow Green metallic". If it were mine, I'd take the original beautiful body color of Meadow Green metallic (Oldsmobile paint code 59). It's stunning when it's mixed right!

Best video yet guys! But I love 442s. I have one now with 17k original miles and had one 15 years ago. The Build sheet has all the options the car has along with the codes for each option. 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.

You do such a beautiful job with the exteriors and interiors with every car you do. It is amazing.
