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.
The art of cruising is one that's done best behind the wheel of a convertible, and you can always take it up a notch and opt for a classic convertible to really savor a good drive. Finding the right classic convertible can be a task, you would want the looks on point, performance that's decent and a cabin that provides comfort and aesthetic. Present today is the perfect union of what makes a great classic convertible and takes shape with this lovely 1968 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible. With a reported 33,144 miles on the clock, this isn't just a convertible built for chilled out drives, this mighty behemoth of a machine is also proper '60s muscle as well.
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.
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.
Oldsmobile introduced the Toronado in 1965 as their personal luxury car contender. What made the Toronado most distinctive was not its styling or land yacht proportions, but the fact that it was front-wheel drive! Yes, this was probably one of a handful of V8 front-wheel drive cars around at the time. What a curious decision by General Motors, and you can discover their curio right here with this 20,197-mile 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham that we’ve got for sale. Currently relaxing in Grand Prairie, Texas, this all-original restored car awaits a new owner, which might very well be you, dear reader!
The Oldsmobile Cutlass was a car that was made by this now-defunct American brand between 1961 and 1999. The Cutlass saw the light of day as a compact car in 1961, where it remained for just three model years. Then, it moved to the midsize segment until 1981. That’s where this third-generation 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Tribute comes from. With 82,754 miles to its name, this car is styled to resemble the iconic 442 muscle car option package that was available for the Cutlass. Why not make this car your first or next classic, then? It’s largely original, with a few enhancements here and there.
Duality is an important factor when purchasing your next machine, blistering performance on track plus smiles per gallon on a spirited drive is the ideal sweet spot for many. Present today is just that and takes shape with this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro.
The Volkswagen Beetle was truly the people’s car and its production numbers was a clear sign of that. With massive production numbers, standing out in the world of peace, love and happiness was truly a task. Present today is a Volkswagen Beetle that is out of the ordinary and takes shape with this lovely 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Champagne edition. With just 1,100 examples produced and just a mere 36,800 miles on its clock, this low mileage limited edition German classic has all the charm a Volkswagen Beetle brings to your life and then some more.
Owning an Alfa Romeo is an act of lust, self-sacrifice and pure aural pleasure. That’s because these Italian machines are full of character, quirky, and need the appropriate maintenance to perform at their best. Neglect an Alfa Romeo and everyone will be sad (car included). However, if you look after it the way it’s meant to be, and drive it with gusto, you’ll find it quickly becoming your happy place, your solitude space. Furthermore, if you select a car like this New York-based 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 TS that’s done just 37,000 miles, you’ll also be in charge of a definitive future classic, and a potentially appreciating asset.
