TheOldsmobile 4-4-2(also known as the 442) is amuscle carproduced byOldsmobilebetween the 1964 and 1980model years. Introduced as an option package for US-soldF-85 and Cutlassmodels, it became a model in its own right from 1968 to 1971, spawned theHurst/Oldsin 1968, then reverted to an option through the mid-1970s. The name was revived in the 1980s on therear-wheel driveCutlass Supremeand early 1990s as an option package for the newfront-wheel driveCutlass Calais.

The "4-4-2" name (pronounced "Four-four-two") derives from the original car's four-barrelcarburetor, four-speedmanual transmission, and dual exhausts (Some maintain that the '2' indicated positive traction rear differential). It was originally written "4-4-2" (with badging showing hyphens between the numerals),[1]and remained hyphenated throughout Oldsmobile's use of the designation. Beginning in 1965, the 4-4-2s standard transmission was a 3 speed manual along with optional 2 speed automatic and 4 speed manual, but were still badged as "4-4-2"s. By 1968 badging was shortened to simply "442", but Oldsmobile brochures and internal documents continued to use the "4-4-2" model designation.[2]

1970 was the pinnacle of performance from Oldsmobile.[12][13]In order to keep up in the horsepower arms-race, General Motors dropped the cap on engine size in 1970, and Oldsmobile responded by making theOlds 455 V8the standard 4-4-2 engine. Output was 365hp (272kW) and 500lbâ‹…ft (680Nâ‹…m), with a 370hp (276kW) variant available with theW30option.

The revised body style and increased performance resulted in the 4-4-2 being awarded pace car duties at theIndianapolis 500race in 1970. Those seeking to experience the ultimate in performance from Lansing could order a "W-Machine" version of the 4-4-2, dubbed the W-30 package. The 4-4-2 W-30 added a fiberglass hood (option W25) with functional air scoops and low-restriction air cleaner, aluminum intake manifold, special camshaft, cylinder heads, distributor, and carburetor. Two W-30 equipped 4-4-2 Vista Cruisers were produced by special order. Rear shoulder seat belts were optional at $23.[5]

Motor Trend tested a 4-4-2 W-30 with a 4-speed manual transmission and 3.91:1 rear gears, clocking a quarter mile time of 14.2 seconds @ 102mph (164km/h). However, Motor Trend noted that Oldsmobile engineers had earlier posted a best of 13.7 seconds on the same test car with a fresh tune.

New options for the 1970 4-4-2 included GM's variable-ratio power steering (option N47), a console-mounted Hurst Dual/Gate shifter for use with the Turbo Hydra-matic transmission, and aluminum differential housing and cover (option W27). All Oldsmobile V8s received new Positive Valve Rotators for the 1970s to increase engine valve life.

1970 model year spotting tips: vertical bars in silver grille, rectangular parking lights in front bumper, vertical tail lights.

A 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 was featured in the chase scene of the movieDemolition ManstarringSylvester Stallone.
