1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Tribute

Description

This 1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass is a tribute to the first-year 442. So it has some bold red style and proper V8 power. And as you dig a little deeper, you'll discover a hardtop with a nice mix of vintage attitude and upgrades to create a solid total cruiser.

It's a Holiday Hardtop finished in Holiday Red, so this coupe already has a very cool sound to it. The later respray ensures a nice shine while also making sure this hardtop has a driver-ready style. After all, this one also wants to be a fun 442 tribute so you have sporty details, like the 442 badging, dual exhaust tips, and a cool set of upgraded Super Stock wheels with a sporty red line. The tires are even staggered to give this one a nice overall stance.

We like the look of a white interior because it always feels like a touch of upper-class style. Just like the exterior, it looks good but with a focus on being driver-ready more than a museum piece. In fact, high-traffic areas like the carpeting and steering wheel are done in black to show less dirt. There's the right classic feel with details everywhere from the working dome light to the factory AM radio there for a display. There are also nice updates, like the fully plumbed Vintage Air A/C system that should just need programming to start blowing cold. And features like the front bucket seats and the classic grip of the thin steering wheel get you ready for a proper driver's experience.

Under the hood is the 330 cubic-inch V8. We love this motor because it was the debut of a generation of the Rocket V8 that was one of the most successful in Oldsmobile's history. It has the right classic style with the golden block and matching valve covers. The V8 inhales through a four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet rumble of the dual exhaust. It has been properly maintained, and the way this one runs strong reaffirms proper care. And the reason why we like this one so much for a cruiser is that it feels quite solid on the road. That's thanks to features like an upgraded tubular A-arm front end, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and an automatic transmission.

Complete with the build receipts, this is a distinct driver's hardtop with the right hints of 442-style muscle car flair. It makes for an all-around cool cruisier that you need to get your hands on right now. Call today!!!
