Oldsmobile…a name that’s not been around for some time now. Yet, this iconic American automaker created one of the most recognizable muscle cars in the Sixties, the 442. Initially, 442 was an option package for the Cutlass and F-85. However, by 1968, Oldsmobile acknowledged that the 442 had earned the right to become a separate model. And it did. Here’s an example of proof. Behold, we’ve got a first-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale, in all its golden glory, just waiting for its next lucky owner. Coming to you with all maintenance reportedly up to date, this is a time capsule that can still roar down the street in anger, thanks to its potent, unbridled V8 engine.

Oldsmobile is a name that was once revered for its line of impressive American iron. But, like too many iconic marques, it was put out to pasture decades ago. However, Oldsmobile’s legacy will forever live on in the hearts and minds of those who remember it. And, thanks to the efforts of owners like the one that has restored our featured car, cars like this 1970 Oldsmobile 442 will forever preserve the unique joys of seeing one on the road. The 4-4-2 was a celebrated muscle car loved for its good looks and impressive performance. Our featured example has reportedly undergone a complete frame-off rotisserie restoration and features a 442ci V8 engine.
One might think that the Oldsmobile Cutlass was named after the sword of the same name that was popular with sailors and pirates. Interestingly, that’s partially true; the sword was inspiration for the name, as was the Vought F7U Cutlass fighter jet. Initially, the Cutlass name was applied to the top trim level of the Oldsmobile 4-4-2. Then, variants started to spin off. One of these was the Cutlass Supreme in 1966. Representing the top of the Cutlass hierarchy, the Supreme sported different body styling as well. Today, we’ve got a second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme for sale from Los Angeles, California. With just over 68,000 miles on the clock, this car is a great classic for a seasoned collector, or a budding enthusiast looking to dip their toes into the classic car seas. Let us tell you more about this car.
Oldsmobile is a brand that the current generation won’t know much about because it was defunct by 2004. A division of General Motors, the company itself dates back to 1987, which tells you that it’s pretty historically significant towards American automotive culture as a whole. In the ʼ60s and ʼ70s, Oldsmobile was right up there with the rest, making muscle cars, personal luxury cars, full-size cars and everything else that Americans wanted, save for SUVs and pickup trucks. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme for sale from Saint Paul, Indiana. The Cutlass represented the brand’s compact car for a brief period before switching to the midsize segment in 1963, where it remained for several generations. So, this car is a great way to teach your kids some automotive history, as well as give them something that is not only a lovely car to cherish, but also a smart investment for the future.
Oldsmobile was one of General Motors’ well-known brands, until it was retired in 2004. One of the brand’s most prolific models was the 88 full-size car. Produced across ten generations from 1949 to 1999. In 1957, the third generation debuted, and had a few variants. One of these was the Rocket, which represented the base model. Moving up, one could find the Dynamic 88 and Super 88, but exterior badging on these variants was limited to merely ‘88’. Today, we’ve got a meticulously-restored 1957 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 for sale in Whittier, California. The car comes with a rebuilt engine and gearbox that have reportedly got under 1,000 miles on them.
Mazda is perhaps the only mass market auto manufacturer that has dabbled with the rotary engine for a few decades, and sold significant numbers of rotary-engined cars. Their legendary RX-7 is firmly cemented in enthusiast and tuner history as one of the greats. The RX-8 that followed was a bit more mellow, but added some family friendliness to the package while retaining that smooth, high-revving rotary motor. Apart from these models, there were a few others in history. One of these was the RX-3, which was offered between 1971 and 1978. This was the rotary-engined variant of the Mazda Grand Familia compact car, Mazda’s answer to Toyota’s fearsome Corolla and the Sunny from Nissan. Today, finding a Grand Familia is hard to say the least, much less its rarer rotary-engined variant, but we’ve got one right here. If you want a Japanese curio to grace your garage, this 1975 Mazda RX-3 awaits in Zephyrhills, Florida. It’s got an original 36,000 miles too.
Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
Shown to the world in 1968, the Series 1 Jaguar XJ is famous for being the last Jaguar to have been designed under the leadership of Sir William Lyons, the man who founded Jaguar Cars of Britain. The XJ is also well-known for retaining much of its classic styling cues for over four decades, offering a refreshingly different choice to luxury car buyers who didn’t feel like going for the popular German choices. Today, we’ve got a way for you to sample a modern classic XJ, in the shape of this Series 3 1987 Jaguar XJ6 from Cooper City, Florida. The car has traveled 84,000 miles which shows that it’s been enjoyed, but with continued maintenance, can keep on going and going. That’s why you should seriously consider taking it on, as it’s a classic that you can daily drive and even use for family transport requirements.
