The 1968 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 arrived during the golden age of American muscle cars, when manufacturers competed to deliver increasingly powerful engines, aggressive styling, and performance-oriented engineering. Originally introduced as an option package on the Cutlass, the 4-4-2 became its own distinct model for 1968, marking an important milestone in Oldsmobile's performance heritage. This 1968 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 Holiday Coupe, showing 77,674 miles, features a White exterior with a contrasting Black vinyl roof, Black fender stripes, and an Olive Green interior. Beneath the hood sits a formidable 455ci V8 paired with a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a Hurst Dual-Gate shifter, giving this classic coupe a particularly desirable muscle car configuration. Its Hurst-inspired styling, Oldsmobile Super Stock II-style wheels, and distinctive color combination contribute to its vintage character. With its big-block power, unmistakable late-1960s design, and performance-oriented appointments, this 4-4-2 captures the personality of an era when American manufacturers were pushing the boundaries of street performance.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1968 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 Holiday Coupe is finished in White, complemented by a contrasting Black vinyl roof that accentuates its sweeping two-door hardtop profile. The 1968 redesign introduced a shorter wheelbase and more muscular proportions, giving the 4-4-2 a distinctive appearance compared with earlier generations. Its sculpted front fenders, pronounced rear quarters, and long hood emphasize the performance-oriented character of Oldsmobile's celebrated muscle car. This example features Black 4-4-2 fender stripes positioned behind the front wheel openings, incorporating the recognizable 4-4-2 identification and adding a Hurst-inspired appearance to the exterior. Black hood accent inserts further reinforce its sporting character, while chrome front and rear bumpers, bright window surrounds, and additional exterior trim provide a traditional contrast against the White bodywork. The car rides on 14-inch Oldsmobile Super Stock II-style wheels fitted with Cooper Cobra Radial G/T raised white-letter tires, a combination that complements the vehicle's late-1960s muscle car styling. Its pillarless Holiday Coupe body configuration completes the appearance, preserving the broad side-window openings and elegant roofline that distinguished Oldsmobile's performance coupes during this period. The interior of this 1968 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 Holiday Coupe is finished in Olive Green, offering a distinctive color combination that reflects the bold interior choices available during the late 1960s. The cabin features front bucket seats with patterned upholstery, complemented by a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpeting that create a coordinated vintage appearance. A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of the traditional Oldsmobile analog instrument cluster, housed within the deeply recessed circular gauge openings characteristic of the 1968 model year. One of this example's most notable features is its Hurst Dual-Gate automatic shifter, positioned within the center console and offering separate shift paths for conventional automatic operation and manually selected gear changes. This distinctive piece of performance equipment adds considerable enthusiast appeal, connecting the cabin to the Hurst performance tradition associated with Oldsmobile's muscle cars. Additional equipment includes a factory-style AM radio and air conditioning, while an auxiliary three-gauge cluster mounted beneath the dashboard provides supplemental engine instrumentation. The combination of its Olive Green upholstery, Hurst shifter, and traditional cockpit design gives this 4-4-2 an engaging interior that remains closely tied to its muscle car heritage.
Engine
Powering this 1968 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 Holiday Coupe is a substantial 455ci naturally aspirated V8, delivering the large-displacement character and abundant torque associated with Oldsmobile's most celebrated performance engines. While the standard 1968 4-4-2 was originally equipped with a 400ci V8, the 455ci engine became particularly significant through its association with the limited-production 1968 Hurst/Olds, one of the earliest examples of a factory-supported collaboration between an automobile manufacturer and a performance equipment specialist. This example features a Rochester Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor, providing the traditional carbureted fuel delivery associated with American V8 performance of the era. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a heavy-duty TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, operated by the distinctive Hurst Dual-Gate shifter. The combination allows the driver to enjoy relaxed automatic operation while also offering greater control over gear selection when desired. Under the hood, the 455ci V8 is accompanied by a red Oldsmobile 4-4-2 air cleaner assembly, reinforcing the car's period performance character. With its substantial displacement, traditional rear-wheel-drive architecture, and Hurst-equipped automatic transmission, this 4-4-2 delivers the mechanical character that made Oldsmobile a formidable competitor during the height of the American muscle car era.

Now here’s a legend of the muscle car scene, the fearsome Oldsmobile 442. Made between 1964 and 1980 as a proper performance machine, it was well-known for decimating nearly all comers at the drag strip. The 442 was potent out of the box, but it could also be tuned with near unlimited scope. Today, those who seek a 442 do so not only for its performative capabilities but its style as well. That’s why we are proud to offer this Torrance-based second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale. With under 107,000 miles, it’s definitely been enjoyed but has so much more to give. Of course when you’ve got a 400ci V8 under the hood and a stick shift to control it with, you don’t want to end journeys too quickly…
