1969 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible review from North America
"A blast to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've restored, replaced or rebuilt 95% of this car since purchasing it in 1977.
General comments?
This car defines '60's American muscle with it's refined good looks, superior handling (for it's era) and brutish V-8 powered strength.
Getting to your destination is half the fun while driving this car.
Cruising with the top down is (after all) what it's all about.
