The best way to get into an Olds convertible is with the always-wonderful Oldsmobile 442 W-30 options . This
convertible offers V8 power , a ton of luxury options, and the same handsome good looks as its big
brother muscle cars.This car was a frame-off restoration about 3 years in the making, this 442 ragtop certainly
looks the part of a muscle car. It seems that this was a straight, clean southern car when work started, so rust
was minimal, with good panel fit throughout, a hallmark of Oldsmobiles from this era. The overall look is crisp and
clean, with a minimum of ornamentation that would otherwise distract you from the handsome silhouette, particularly
the kick-up behind the doors. All of the chrome was refreshed at the same time, with bright bumpers and a very
nicely preserved egg crate grille from a 1969 model. I put new 442 badges because some parts were old.
