1969 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible

Description

There are very few designs from this era that could say both "sporty" and "luxury" so well as this 1969 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible. It has all the great dramatic curves, flared fenders, and a handsome front end that was instantly recognizable as being from GM's rocket division. And while this is a true classic, it's also helped by plenty of nice upgrades. For example, this was born a blue car, but the deeper color and electric-like luster are part of a modern high-quality respray. Even the white racing stripes are under the clearcoat. The interior looks great with updated correct upholstery patterns, and features like the retro-style radio and cold-blowing air conditioning make it an even better driver. Even the engine bay gets in on the investments because while it looks stock, the fresh glow of the engine block lets you know they want this big 400 cubic-inch V8 on full display.

We all love real-deal muscle cars, and we all know the convertibles were both expensive and rarer. So this Olds is instantly attractive. But its history is just the beginning. They took extra time to make this an all-around awesome car. It's why the Super Stock wheels were correctly upgraded to the same electric-like blue as the paint. And when a convertible has air conditioning, it keeps us dreaming of sunny summer drives. So while we all love a powerful 442 with four-on-the-floor, this drop-top is one we all love a little more.
