Oldsmobile

The Oldsmobile 442 was one of a handful of vehicles to help launch the muscle car era back in 1964 as an option on the Cutlass. Though it may not have been the first muscle car, it certainly helped establish the trend of placing powerful engines in post WWII mid-size cars. We’ve seen our share of Oldsmobiles over the years and below you can find a few that caught our eye, from the 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme to the 1969 Oldsmobile 442.
