... The 442 was considered a "gentleman's hotrod" just as the Chrysler 300's of the 50's and 60's were considered an "executive" or " bankers hotrod". The typical Olds 442 buyer was a guy in his late to mid 30's who wanted performance and the comfort creatures.

You may be absolutely correct in this. The one I remember most
( of the three I wrote about earlier ) was white and
it belonged to one of the DuPont's ( yes - those DuPonts ).
This particular car had a telephone custom installed in the
back console area. This was back in the mid-1970's, so car
phones were Star Trek stuff.
