The Oldsmobile 4-4-2 (also known as the 442) is a muscle car produced by Oldsmobile between the 1964 and 1980 model years. Introduced as an option package for US-sold F-85 and Cutlass models, it became a model in its own right from 1968 to 1971, spawned the formidable Hurst/Olds in 1968, then reverted to an option through the mid-1970s. The name was revived in the 1980s on the rear-wheel drive Cutlass Supreme and early 1990s as an option package for the new front-wheel drive Cutlass Calais. The 4-4-2 name (pronounced Four-four-two) derives from the original cars four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. It was originally written 4-4-2 (with badging showing hyphens between the numerals), and remained hyphenated throughout Oldsmobiles use of the designation. Beginning in 1965, the 4-4-2s standard transmission was a 3-speed manual along with optional 2 speed automatic or 4 speed manual, but were still badged as 4-4-2s. By 1968 badging was shortened to simply 442, but Oldsmobile brochures and internal documents continued to use the 4-4-2 model designation. The 1966 4-4-2 shared a modest facelift with other Cutlasses. It came with a 400 CID L78 V8 rated at 350 HP 440 lb-ft with a single four-barrel carburetor. Two new optional 400 ci engines offered even higher performance: the 360 HP L69, with three two-barrel Rochester 2GC carburetors on a progressive linkage and 440 HP of torque, which was priced at US$264.54, and the rare W30.
