Overview of 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible For Sale by Owner

The Oldsmobile Cutlass is a nameplate that’s been around for quite some time. It flirted in the compact, midsize and personal luxury car segments during its lifetime. Today’s 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 comes from the third generation, when Oldsmobile offered a Cutlass for everyone, it seems. You could pick from a four-door sedan, a two-door coupe, a two-door convertible and even a four-door station wagon. Interestingly, the two- and four-door variants had different wheelbases to ensure maximum interior space regardless of body style. That’s not all; you could also specify a thrifty in-line six or a powerful V8 depending on your preference. This particular car from Arlington is a two-door convertible with the biggest V8 under the hood. It’s done over 128,000 miles, but hardly looks it! So don’t miss this opportunity, DM or call us at the earliest if you’d like to drive off in this beauty.

Exterior and Interior

This 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 comes with a nice red body, and a white convertible top. Rolling on red wheels with white-lettered tires, it’s quite a looker, replete with two white elements on its massive hood. The car also sports a rear spoiler and the requisite 442 badging. The interior of this 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 includes wood grain trim, and white leather upholstered seats. It’s roomy enough for four occupants and pretty period-correct. The original heater controls remain intact, as does the radio. The latter is quite interesting, as it is an FM unit with tone control for whether you want a bassy sound, focus on voices, or more emphasis on music. That’s not all, there’s also a knob to adjust the bias between the front and rear speakers in the vehicle. You’ll also have noticed the unusual transmission shift pattern, called the His and Hers transmission. We’ll talk about that in the next section.

Engine

This 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 gets a massive 455ci V8 under its hood. However, the sizable engine isn’t the car’s neatest feature, but its His and Hers transmission. Basically, it’s a 3-speed automatic unit, but offers manual shifting. The idea is, those who want an automatic experience simply place the lever in D. Those who crave more control can move the shifter through its 1-2-3 section and select gears at will. Either way, the rear wheels are the ones that transfer power to the road.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
