Wow…they are truly beautiful cars. It is refreshing to see these cars as they originally appeared for a change. I have grown tired of seeing every Oldsmobile 442 or Cutlass painted and badged as a W-30. It is so cool to see these cars as they actually appeared “back in the day”. I love seeing the correct side stripes and non ram-air hood with correct hood striping. I especially love the blue 4spd car.

When I was first looking for Oldsmobile 442’s back when I was a young man - the majority of the cars for sale were just like these two examples. The W-30s were very rare and not well known or publicized. Most of the cars for sale were standard 442s with no ram-air hood etc… Now finding a 442 that has not been transformed into some type of a W-30 or a ram-air hooded car is rare. These two cars are such exceptional original examples... someone will be very fortunate to take them home. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

That's kinda what I was getting at with my comments about the hoods on both cars. It is &quot;odd&quot; to see them in their original state.
