Agree that the lettering is distracting from the otherwise beautiful car.Comment

I'd rather see a black strip front to rear following the same body lines as that lettering.
Going out on a limb here........back in '92ish a guy I worked with had a VERY similar car. not sure of the year, but it was darn close.
I don't remember an "Oldsmobile" sticker, but it had the same 442 lettering.
It stands out in my mind because I distinctly remember his insurance company giving him all kinds of grief because they did not show a 442 model for that year. He eventually went with stated value insurance to protect his investment, but never did resolve the 442 issue.
Any input guys? Did he have a phantom car?Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.Comment

The Oldsmobile 442 was a muscle car produced by the Oldsmobile division of General Motors. It was introduced as an option package for F-85 and Cutlass models sold in the United States beginning with the 1964 model year. The 442 appellation comes from the configuration of the car: a four-barrel carburetor, a four-speed manual transmission, and posi-traction. It became a model in its own right from 1968 to 1971, then reverted to an option trim package through the mid-1970s. Oldsmobile revived the name in the 1980s on the rear-wheel drive Cutlass Supreme and early 1990s as an option package for the new front-wheel drive Cutlass.Originally posted by STINEY View Post

I'd imagine the 442 option would have to be stated in the VIN? Most of the cars I've processed over the years had specific VIN characters for main & sub-models.Originally posted by STINEY View Post
Lettering it ok if it looks right. Not a fan of the 'Oldsmobile' lettering on that car.
Maybe a stripe that matches the trunk would look better?
The rest of the car does look great though.
