Introduced in 1964, it was continually updated, receiving the big-block engines in 1965 and a performance option called the W30. From 1968 through 1971, the 442 was a model in its own right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In 1971 slight improvements were added to the Oldmobile 442 which can be easily identified by its round running lights and black grille with 442 script.<\/p>\n<p>Only 110 W30 models were built in 1971 which included the fiberglass force induction hood and turbo 400 transmission. Due to strict emissions regulations, GM killed off all the big-block cars and the 1971 442 was the last Oldsmobile muscle car.<\/p>\n<h2>More Details<\/h2>\n<p>The 1971 Oldsmobile 442 was a muscle car produced by the Oldsmobile division of General Motors. The 4-4-2 nomenclature stood for a four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and two exhausts. based on its combination of four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and two exhausts.<\/p>\n<p>Oldsmobile used hotshot parts previously only available to police departments. But the muscle car era was unmistakably in decline due to rising insurance rates and soaring gas prices. The 442 package had run into the 1971 fuel crisis, federal legislation that curbed 442&#8217;s power output.<\/p>\n<p>The car came with only minor modifications from the previous year. But what was 10.5:1 the previous year became 8.5:1, a drop in engine output which affected all of GM&#8217;s engines as the result of a corporate policy requiring engines to run on lower-octane regular-grade fuel, in preparation for the introduction of the catalytic converter on 1975-model cars.<\/p>\n<p>The interior of the 442 has cheap-looking, wood-grain vinyl dash but had a real race car feel. Bucket seat, custom steering wheel, and Hurst Competition gear shift came as standard. The monster 455cid V8 was stock for that 442 but that would be the swansong year although the 442 had put the Oldsmobile in the muscle-car map.<\/p>\n<p>The muscle car market segment to which the 442 belonged was disenfranchised by shifting social attitudes, crippling insurance rates, the Clean Air Act and the fuel crisis. The OPEC oil embargo led to price controls and gasoline rationing, as well as higher prices. Muscle cars quickly became unaffordable and impractical for many people.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a

He's on a first-name basis with his local Porsche dealership staff and considers the Porsche 911 to be his spirit animal. Ask him about the weather, and he'll tell you how the Porsche 911 handles in the rain. Mention your vacation plans, and he'll explain the best scenic routes to drive a Porsche. In short, Pete's life is a high-speed adventure with Porsche as the co-pilot.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.nickdellis.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nick.dellis.3","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dellisn\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/1nickdellis\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/caradmin\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
