Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this slick white 1969 Oldsmobile 442 Holiday Coupe. First produced in 1964, the "4-4-2" designation indicated "Four-barrel Carb, Four-speed manual transmission, and Dual Exhaust". As time rolled on, the 442 designation was an indication that the car was a potent street and strip performer, right off the showroom floor. While it may be a 54-year-old ride, the big 400 CID V8 under the hood has plenty of power to leave a ton of BF Goodrich radial rubber behind you! Topping that 400 is an Edelbrock 4BBL Carb (instead of a Rochester QuadraJet); and behind that, a GM TH400 3-speed automatic transmission sends the power to the 12-bolt rear end. While stepping into this muscle car, you'll notice the blue synthetic leather interior, light blue carpeting, and light blue headliner; all of which are complementary to the exterior striping, which is done in a very dark blue metallic (so dark, in fact, that they look black from a distance). Other features include A/C (blows, but not cold), AM/FM radio, American Racing 17" Aluminum Wheels, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Radial Tires, and (rear) Seat Belts. When it comes to American Muscle cars the 442 is a stout performer, so give our Houston Showroom a call or send us an email, and we'll help you add it to your collection!

About Oldsmobile
Ah, Oldsmobile, the very name conjures up images of classic American automobiles and the open road. Let's embark on a leisurely journey through the annals of automotive history with this venerable brand.

Our story begins in 1897 when a man named Ransom Eli Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company. He wasn't the first to build cars, but he was a pioneer in mass production techniques. In 1901, Oldsmobile introduced the "Curved Dash" Olds, widely considered one of the first mass-produced automobiles in the United States. It was simple, reliable, and affordable, making it accessible to the masses.

Fast forward a few decades to the 1930s, and we encounter one of Oldsmobile's most iconic creations, the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. This was a car that not only looked cool with its sleek design but also packed a punch under the hood. The Rocket 88 featured a powerful V8 engine, earning it the nickname "the first muscle car." It was a true American classic, a car that epitomized the spirit of the open road and the freedom of post-war America.

As we approach the 1950s, Oldsmobile continued to innovate. The Oldsmobile Fiesta, introduced in 1953, was notable for being one of the first cars to feature a fully wraparound windshield, a design feature that would become a hallmark of the era. It also showcased the brand's commitment to luxury and style.

But perhaps the zenith of Oldsmobile's excellence came in the 1960s with the Oldsmobile 4-4-2, a car that was both sporty and practical. The 4-4-2 stood for 4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. It was a muscle car for those who wanted power without sacrificing comfort. It was the embodiment of the American muscle car era.

Then there was the Oldsmobile Cutlass, a car that became an American institution. It was a family sedan, a sports car, and a luxury car all rolled into one. The Cutlass was reliable, comfortable, and versatile, making it one of the best-selling cars in American automotive history.

Sadly, as the years went by, Oldsmobile faced challenges, and the brand that had once been a symbol of American automotive innovation and excellence ceased production in 2004. It marked the end of an era.

But the legacy of Oldsmobile lives on in the hearts of car enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the classic American automobile. It's a brand that gave us some of the most iconic cars in automotive history, a brand that embodied the American dream of freedom, mobility, and style.

So here's to Oldsmobile, a name that will forever be associated with the golden age of American automobiles and the enduring spirit of adventure on the open road.
