Olds Cutlass and 4-4-2: Rockets for The Road
39 1/2" x 28"
COST: Thrift store - $10
Picked this up a few weeks ago at the thrift store. I bought it for the frame. But after cleaning it up, it's a very nicely framed poster.
I spotted it easily, because it's big! I have some large prints that would fit nicely in here. But I think it will get hung in the garage for garage art instead.
4-4-2
The "4-4-2" name (pronounced "Four-four-two") derives from the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts (Some maintain that the '2' indicated a limited-slip differential).
4 Barrel
4 Speed
2 Exhaust
was how it started
330 engine
Later up to 455 inch from the factory
I try NOT to stray into thrift stores. I would have bought that..
2 COOL 442 School
In 1966, GM introduced a three two-barrel carb set up, but they did not change the name to 642. Now the first "4" represented the 400 cubic-inch engine.
I put that L69 tri carb on my "Cutlass" with 455 and 4 speed
What is that??
In 1965 OLDS started the 'Big Block" 400 for the 442
1966 saw a few w30 442 with 3 carbs ,,, 54 cars made
400 inch engine Up to HURST OLDS which almost ALWAYS had automatic transmission with a FUNKY Shifter and 455 Monster Motor
