CONGRATS on the great looking car. Lovin' that color scheme. Definitely my favorite year of the Cutlass, and to top it off, the big block. SWEET!!!!

ALRIGHT JOHN!!!! I absolutely LOVE IT!!!

I almost picked up a 70 Cutlass Convertible last week, but just missed it by a day, it was gorgeous...the hunt continues...

Wow, beautiful car. Congrats!

Hey thanks guys.

Just a little trivia...when the first 442 came out 442 designated:

4 barrel - 4 speed - dual exhaust

not the cubic inch displacement of the engine.

Congratulations Johnnny!!! I know that you have been looking for the right Olds 442 to come along and that beauty surely fits the bill.

As awesome and killer as it is, I have only one question.

Where are the Redlines on the tires? I think I may have a set of 60 series with Redlines lying in the back of my garage.
I will check the size and call you tonight.

LOL!
