The popular and respected 4-4-2 Package included FE2 suspension with heavy-duty front and rear stabilizer bars; wide 14- x 7-inch wheels; louvered hood; special 4-4-2 grille; hood and body painted stripes and 4-4-2 badging. You could choose from four body styles and you could also have a nice choice in powerplants. This excellent example runs with the big 455-cid unit with a four-barrel carburetor, flared dual exhaust outlets and a specially sculpted rear bumper.

This 4-4-2 convertible has been beautifully and professionally restored by the Thornton brothers; this process has been photo documented, plus the Oldsmobile is accompanied by a copy of its window sticker and broadcast sheet. Presented as original in Ebony Black with white interior (black dash and carpets), white soft-top and white stripes; this is a well-optioned car that is deserving of attention.

This Cutlass 4-4-2 was first shipped from its Lansing, Michigan final assembly point to Sandusky Chevrolet Company in Kingfisher, Oklahoma and had an MSRP of $5,547.94, which included $1,894.94 worth of accessories. Key among this group is the 455-cid V-8 engine. Among the other desirable factory options are automatic transmission, air conditioning, sports console, “anti-spin” rear end, Rocket Rally Pac, stereo tape player, various accessory lighting, remote outside mirror, AM/FM stereo radio, Soft-ray glass, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, bumper guards; power top, steering and brakes with front discs. Super Stock wheels were available in two styles, and this car features the chromed highlights style instead of the style that was color-keyed to the bodywork.

Reported as outstanding throughout, this is a prime example of the respected and coveted Cutlass 4-4-2.
