The Oldsmobile 4-4-2 (also known as the 442) is a muscle car produced by Oldsmobile between the 1964 and 1987 model years. Introduced as an option package for US-sold F-85 and Cutlass models, it became a model in its own right from 1968 to 1971, spawned the Hurst/Olds in 1968, then reverted to an option through the mid-1970s. The name was revived in the 1980s on the rear-wheel drive Cutlass Supreme and early 1990s as an option package for the new front-wheel drive Cutlass Calais.
The "4-4-2" name (pronounced "Four-four-two") derives from the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts [1][2][3] (Some maintain that the '2' indicated a limited-slip differential). It was originally written "4-4-2" (with badging showing hyphens between the numerals),[1] and remained hyphenated throughout Oldsmobile's use of the designation. Beginning in 1965, the 4-4-2s standard transmission was a three-speed manual along with an optional two-speed automatic and four-speed manual, but were still badged as "4-4-2"s. Because of this change, from 1965 on, according to Oldsmobile brochures and advertisements, the 4-4-2 designation referred to the 400 cubic inch engine, four-barrel carburetor, and dual exhausts. By 1968 badging was shortened to simply "442", but Oldsmobile brochures and internal documents continued to use the "4-4-2" model designation.
The 4-4-2 was born out of competition between Pontiac and Oldsmobile divisions of GM. The high performance GTO version of the Pontiac LeMans intermediate had proved an unexpected success midway through the 1964 model year. Oldsmobile's hasty response was to beef up their own popular Cutlass, a task given to a team led by performance enthusiast and Olds engineer John Beltz (later responsible for the distinctive and powerful Toronado), aided by Dale Smith and division chief engineer Bob Dorshimer.[5]
Contrasted with the 1964 Tempest LeMans GTO with its 389 cubic inch V-8 (introduced in September, 1963[6] as an option package), the Oldsmobile offering was a conservative package. Technically the "B09 Police Apprehender Pursuit"[7] option, it used the four-barrel carbureted 330 CID (5.4 L) V8 with heavy-duty valve gear, and a hotter camshaft, raising rated (SAE gross) output to 310 hp (231.3 kW) at 5,200 rpm. Torque remained 355 lb⋅ft (481 N⋅m), although the torque peak rose from 2800 rpm to 3600 rpm.
The package was dubbed 4-4-2 based on its combination of four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts.[1][8][3] It was available on any F-85 or Cutlass model except the station wagon, although most were Cutlass hardtop coupés (Oldsmobile archives indicate that approximately 10 four-door sedans were built with the B09 option).
Motor Trend tested an early 1964 4-4-2 with a 3:55 rear axle (standard ratio was 3.36:1) and found that the 3,440-lb (1,560 kg) car ran 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 7.5 seconds,[7] the standing quarter mile in 15.5 seconds at 90 mph (140 km/h), and reached a top speed of 116 mph (185.6 km/h). A total of 2,999 were sold.

1964 I was working, pumping gas at a Texaco. One day my boss, the owner, drove up in a brand new 442. Burgandy with black interior. It sounded so sweet with dual exhaust. We all got rides in it that day. I knew I was looking at greatness. A week later my Draft Notice came in the mail and the rest - well I never really worried, I'd ridden in a 442. Nice build. Thanks for the memory flog.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@MichaelSmith-xc6pe]

Hey want to say thank you for serving our country

[@garyparker2969]

Thank You Sir For Your Serving and Sacrifces For My Freedom and This Awesome Country We Live In. God Bless The U.S.A. !!!

[@Formula2010]

You know it's a good day when you come home to a full 45+ minute build to watch. Forget the wife, forget the kids, who cares about work? I have a build to watch. Thanks for another great build.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot man!

[@mikehedrick7223]

442 stands for 4 barrel carburetor, 4 speed shift, (2) duel exhaust. the engine was a 330cid and added the Police Apprehender Pursuit Package. this was in response to Pontiac's GTO

[@spankyham9607]

Molds look really nice. I like that Round 2 is bringing back these old kits that Ertl didn't. Their tires are my favorite thing about the Round 2 era of AMT.

[@TheUselessGeniusX]

That black you put on the frame, reminded me of when my grandparents would take their new cars, and get them undercoated. They used to always say, "getting it Zeibart-ed." I can smell it now

[@hpiguy]

Ha, yeah! Just bought a big Rusty Jones barrel to add to my automotive signs on the garage.

[@danielbritton8588]

Autos or trucks have a different feel of a build. The atmosphere is special to the subject matter. Paint challenges helps also.

[@mitchgawlik1175]

I enjoyed watching this build, especially since I'm finishing up a yellow convertible. I'd love to see more simple kits like these Cutlasses. I just want to duplicate some of the models I had as a kid and don't need working suspension, turn signal levers that click or AM radios that only play Ventures tunes. I was surprised when you pulled out the Sharpies and paint pens. I was more surprised at how quickly you knocked out the trim without masking. You must have the steadiest left hand in the nation. Anyway, thanks for the build guide.

[@freddietee1225]

NICE...I'm pro-stocking(tubbed) mine with the 67 chevelle as a donor.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@BluestreekCustoms]

I've so been waiting for this car, I want one so bad so I can build it for my dad before he passes, to match the one he had, I hope it come out soon, but, great work building this one, keep up the great work. I love watching you build.

[@hpiguy]

Go for it!

[@BluestreekCustoms]

@@hpiguy Oh I will sir, as soon as I find someone that has it in stock and don't charge a crazy amount for shipping to Canada lol.

[@billhershkowitz5759]

AMT also offered two 1966 4-4-2s in the 2000s, hardtop and convertible. Lindberg offered a 4-4-2 hardtop in 1/25th scale . Great for Oldsmobile fans!

[@mickangio16]

Got one on the way👍AutoWorld closeout price $14.99. Wish I bought 2😵‍💫

[@michaelcooke2559]

Nice build with great attention to detail. It looks like AMT hit a home run with this kit.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@adrockcarnut6885]

I pre -ordered 2 64 Olds 442 Hardtops from Model Roundup, I also have a 64 442 Convertible. Hopefully I'll get to them this winter.

[@hpiguy]

Enjoy!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Looks like a fun kit to build..... 👍👍👍

[@hpiguy]

It is, fun and easy. A nice relaxing time.

[@CycolacFan]

Came out beautifully. Pity amt didn’t include a correct coupe interior instead of putting the convertible one in, looks like it’s all virtually identical other than the body.

[@johnmooradian730]

I REMEMBER MY DADS BROTHER MY UNCLE HARRY HAD A BRAND NEW CONVERTIBLE CUTLASS IN 64 IT WAS ABABABA CREAM YELLOW WITH A BLACK TOP IT WAS A 4 SPEED WITH A 330 IT WAS FAST I AM JOHN ORIGINALY FROM DETROIT MY UNCLE WAS FROM HAMILTON ONTARIO

[@mightywarrior5684]

Wonder if all the popularity of the Oldsmobile models will get GM thinking about bringing the Oldsmobile line back?

[@mickangio16]

As an EV?☹️

[@dsaucedoone]

can u show us how you touch up the paint after removing it from the sprew

[@haljohnson5729]

Nice build as always. My buddy had a 65 Olds as a first car in high school. Black with red interior. I may pick this up just for the history. He sold it to buy a 69 SS 396 Chevelle......

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@maryfiltz800]

Looks great - I remember the convertible, and I like both of them.

[@hpiguy]

You and me both!

[@teddyjones8027]

Looks great brother, even though it's a promo style it looks like a really cool kit. Lots of extras for the parts stash and pretty cool looking decals. You absolutely did this kit justice and as always Thank you very much for sharing your builds and PLEASE KEEP EM COMING. Remember to SMILE it's a hobby and it's suppose to be FUN, everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot Teddy!

[@johngallagher7680]

I just want to add something I know this is not the right video but when you did the 1966 batmobile to snap kit the things that go between the beacon or antennas and then the little thing in front of the windshield is the bat Ray all right thank you

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@Merylstreep1949]

Could you consider showing the whole of the instructions during the video? Thank you 😊

If they have unique stuff in them I usually try to. Basic car manuals, not much of.

Do you think AMT will do a 1965 Buick skylark Gran Sport ?

[@hpiguy]

I have no connections on what they will be making, I find out when the general public does. :)

[@jasongette3392]

Amt's 1969 442 chassis will be a good replacement for better detail.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot!

[@rosshemmings9384]

I'm an Oldsmobile diehard as my dad used to be the GM at an Olds dealer. My only gripe on the kit was making it a slushbox version (just 2 pedals) when the 442 stood for 4 barrel, 4 speed, dual exhaust. Other than that a nice kit. I''ve never seen that gadget you used to add the 'chrome'. What's it called and how do they work? Is the finish "chromier" than you'd get from silver paint?

[@hpiguy]

It does have a clutch pedal, shown in the parts unboxing. You glue it into place if you want a manual car, shown during the sub assembly part of the video. The pen is a Molotow Chrome Pen.

[@southern_angel]

This kit is sweet waiting on mine nice build

[@hpiguy]

It sure is!

[@louislegeret2063]

The 64 442 is a good looking car. Now that they have done that can they make a 65 442 with some small changes. I don't know if they will tell you but if can find out would you let me know. Thank you.

[@hpiguy]

I am given zero insider info. When the public is told is when I find out. Thanks!

[@jamestp]

excellent thank you !

[@chrisdiehl8387]

I'm new to scale models and the convertible is my first kit. I'm definitely following your channel. Future floor polish??? I can't find it on Amazon.

[@mickangio16]

I think I read that it isn't made anymore🙁

[@captnemomodelingzone7850]

Great open box review. It turned out awesome. I always enjoy your videos and the rusty build looks great. Thanks for all the information on the decals. Have a great week buddy 👊👊👊👍👍😎

[@robertbeliveau1692]

I have a nephew in NM that races sprint cars and I bought a cast metal sprint car model , took it apart and painted it as close as I could. Then I found a guy that makes custom decals, had my nephew send pics of his sponsors and spent 45$ on the decals and they are too big for the car I’ve been working on. Do you guys know where I can find an actual “ plastic “ sprint car model ??? I’ve been going nuts trying to find a model , plastic , of a sprint car I can have done for Christmas.

[@saltields7649]

Other than the fact that it’s not a true 442, I still want a couple of the kits. The car needs a rear anti sway bar and a clutch petal.

[@hpiguy]

The clutch pedal is shown during the unboxing and it gets glued into the car if you plan on making it a manual.

[@saltields7649]

Thank You for pointing out that clutch petal. Now just need to get a rear sway bar and you’re set on a true 442.

[@raphaelhernandez4088]

Dr. Old's loves it! Great job.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@ExisteDiosInc]

Quick question... When you hand paint.. do you thin paint or go straight from bottle?

[@hpiguy]

Right out of the bottle.

[@rickr442]

Nice job as usual, but why. Not finish the side molding where it curves down at the leading edge of the fenders? Otherwise, top shelf build.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Nice Chris man, as always bud!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks again!

[@stephenhudson6543]

My hands aren't steady enough for using one of those pins

[@mikehynes6632]

Chris, do you have a box filled with spare parts/unused kit parts or do you throw them out?

[@hpiguy]

Very few, only parts I can use if a kit is missing something like a manifold, intake, etc.

[@blackphantom99]

Another beautiful build Chris, I’m an Aussie so I’m probably wrong lol But did they use these cars as cabs over there? Cheers mate. 👍

[@hpiguy]

I don't think 442s or many Oldsmobiles of any type were used as cabs, but maybe someone somewhere did.

[@blackphantom99]

@@hpiguy Yeah if it was a 442 you definitely be getting round a little quicker lol 😂

Great build. I’m going to have to pick that model up when it’s available! Do you sand or prep the body in any way prior to priming and paint?

cool

Thanks!

[@Merylstreep1949]

Lol, except that was DEFINITELY not a 4 barrel carb ha amt forgot what 442 stands for lol Nice build though 👌

[@hpiguy]

Right, it's hidden under the new air cleaner so I suppose they saved some money on more mold work.
