The 442 was only a specific model by itself from 1968 through 1971, but it was available as an option on the Oldsmobile Cutlass starting as early as 1964 and on into 1980’s. Known for being one of the fastest cars on the road thanks to the range of monster engines the car had, ranging from 400-455 cubic inch motor putting out close to 400hp. The name 442 actually stands for ‘four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual, and dual exhaust’ which were all key parts to making the 442 one of the best muscle cars ever made
