1971 | Oldsmobile 442 Convertible 4-Speed

The Oldsmobile 442 Convertible stands as an iconic piece of American muscle car history, embodying the raw power and style of its era. Emerging from the peak of Oldsmobile’s performance lineage, the second-generation 442 was equipped with a potent 455-cubic-inch V8 engine, delivering up to 365 horsepower when fitted with the W30 package. Its bold styling, with a dual-scooped hood, aggressive stance, and functional rear spoiler, made a clear statement on the road, while the optional sport suspension and heavy-duty handling package ensured that it wasn’t just about straight-line speed. With its distinctive trumpet exhaust tips and muscular body lines, the 442 Convertible turned heads and roared with authority, a true testament to the golden age of muscle cars.
