On “My Car Story” we're in Rosemont IL at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals on 11-18-16.
We’re looking at a 1969 Oldsmobile 442 Hurst Olds with a H/O 455 High Output engine in White paint with Gold Stripes.
The car's Owners are Marlene & Keith Ferguson. Marlene shares Keith would take Marlene to car shows and when he asked her if she’d like a car she said she’d like a Oldsmobile Hurst Olds because she likes the wing on the back. After searching for the right one, they found this one in 1988.

This might be the nicest ‘69 Hurst Olds I’ve ever seen. Fell in love with it when I was 12 years old while my dad worked for an Olds dealership here in NYC and still love them till this day...

[@loucostabile]

Hi Joseph Saraco, Happy to read this car brings back memories of cars @ where your Dad' worked :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@chrisgoffe5048]

..christ !! you should of got your dad to get you one !! ..mow those 1970s lawns ..paperboy

[@Manning713]

yes beautiful car indeed, good pick grabbing the H/O instead of the GTO I would have done the same. That car speaks for itself and continues today to be a huge head turner, not many around ..... I've had around 8 oldsmobiles in my lifetime and Ive loved them all. Currently I have a 69 cutlass S convertible which I love to drive and take to car shows and do pretty well with it !! God Bless our Oldsmobiles

[@loucostabile]

Hi, Glad you like this one. Thank you for sharing your story that you've had 8 Oldsmobile's. When on KZbin.com, type in "My Car Story With Lou Olds" and I hope you'll find many others on the Channel you'll enjoy too :-) Lou

[@lilpalal]

I also had a gold ‘69 Cutlass S convertible with a white top in California. I was the second owner and it was beautiful. I often wish I still had it.

[@arnoldberk7686]

Real nice people. This lady has a man magnet. What a beautiful Hurst and it looks and sounds great.

Hi JON, High praise :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou

[@vincentbasso4903]

I remember the stock '66 442 as being the fastest car at the time. I just like them over the later 442's But I know, it's a subjective, Love your work, Lou

[@loucostabile]

442's are cool. Thank you Vincent for the compliment on my work, it's much appreciated, Lou

[@salb58]

I have one also and must say this is without a doubt one of the nicest examples I have ever seen. Beautiful car!

[@audieconrad8995]

Ohhhh man this car is the 💣!! Soooo rare. Nice ride Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Audie Conrad, High praise for this car :-) Lou

[@mmantei1]

My brother was a long time member of the Olds Club of Wisconsin and also had a 1969 HO. I really love that car. I honestly feel that it is one of the most aggressive looking cars of it's time. The 1969 Hurst is one impressive vehicle and yours is a real beauty. He also bought a new 1983 HO without ever seeing what it was going to look like. I bought it from him a few years later and really loved that car.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Michael Mantei, Thank you for viewing and sharing details on your Brother car too :-) Lou

Another advantage to Olds muscle cars compared to Chevy or Ford is they handled excellently as well as being very fast.

[@loucostabile]

HI Terri, Good to know, thank you for sharing, Lou

[@dustinmartin8986]

Yes Indeed, Olds were always known for their ride and handling, the gentleman's musclecar.

[@arnoldberk7686]

Unlike some of them not cheesy looking inside, Olds had body insulation ,and were fast as can be without the cut rate appointments inside of 100% molded plastic.

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

nice people and a super nice car = thanks lou keep up the good work.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Ronnie, Thank you for viewing and the encouragement :-) Lou

[@fleetwin1]

Always loved the 69 Cutlass styling...Never seen a red olds engine though, but I'm sure that's a part of the hurst olds package.

[@dustinmartin8986]

Both the 68 and 69 Hurst Olds 455s were painted red.

[@ckryses3962]

69 looks great too but 68 design is Badazz, bold..

[@loucostabile]

Hi Kramden, Happy to read you enjoy the styling of this car, Lou

[@antoniobattle2036]

Awesome 442 !!!

[@loucostabile]

[@Scotty5064350]

I love Oldsmobiles. I had about 22 of them from 88s 98s & Starfires.

[@loucostabile]

WOW - 22, you're clearly a Fan of the Brand. Thank you for sharing, Lou

[@Scotty5064350]

When I bought them they had about 60,000 miles on them till I sold or traded them with over 100,000 miles on them. I only had trouble with one of them. Some I took to the drag races & never lost a race. I racd 98s & starfires.

[@loucostabile]

Never lost, wow, that's impressive.

[@juliobello4561]

What's the price of one of this Because where I work at they have one in the basement cover and is just like this one everything is identical from the paint job and it looks awesome it just need a nice clean up and looks like new Probably it has low mileage as well

Monumental display of a genuine artifact of American muscle. Not too many Olds Cutlass and 442 editions rock that spoiler. Maybe that's a Hurst/Olds exclusive. Fantastic! Teddy Bears rule!!

The 442 is one of my favorite american muscle car! The 4 4 2 stands for 4 barrel carb, 4 Spd trans and dual exhaust, right? And they were called "Trompet tips" i thinks. Cool car, pretty good video!

Does anyone know what the name of the white and gold paint. Is really called? The 1970 Hurst 300 white and gold look a little different. The Olds 88 Hurst cars White and gold look different top. So what is the deal for the real Hurst white and gold colors does anyone have this info for me. Thanks, Shawn.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Shawn, I don't know. Hoping a Viewer can share knowledge, Lou

[@ScarlettFire341]

Double HO ! #1- HO = Hurst Olds (on trunk) #2 - HO = High Output (on hood scoops), FYI - all 906 units built were auto trans & the 455 engine was Oldsmobile rate at 380 HP / 500 Torque

How fast is this car? It accelerates EXACTLY at the same rate as a stock 1975 corvette. It's a very heavy and squishy car. When I say exactly. I mean neither car gains an inch up to 100 mph. After that ....IDK. Also..8 mpg.
