My highschool car was a 1971 Olds Cutlass Supreme SX with a 455 ci engine, 4 barrel carb and dual exhaust. What a way to get back and forth to school. I have had many big block cars since then, but still have a special place in my heart for the Oldsmobile.

My daughter fell in love with this tune when she was nine-years-old. We used to go to car shows every other weekend, and she laid eyes on a Rocket 455 in a Cutlass one night. She asked, "Dad, is that what that song is about?". I knew a local country band that played some Bar & Grill places, and at local events, and if we wound up somewhere where they were playing, she'd always request it. Her favorite line was, "Who's junk pile piece of Chevelle is this?".

I've worked on and restored several Oldsmobile automobiles starting way back in 1975 when I bought my first Olds, a '68 4-4-2 convertible with a 4 speed. My dad, an Oldsmobile dealer mechanic, drove a "souped up" '57 Olds Super 88, so Oldsmobile's run deep in our family. When I first heard this song I envisioned Kathy behind the wheel of a big early '70's baby blue Olds 88 or Ninety-Eight, which both were available with the Rocket 455. The highest advertised horsepower 455 came in the W-34 version of the 1968 through 1970 Toronado front wheel drive cars, with the '70 version called the Toronado GT. The next highest was the 1968 Olds 4-4-2 based Hurst/Olds advertised at 390 hp. These cars were all painted Peruvian Silver with Black trim. This video features a 1959 Oldsmobile, which came with either a 371 cubic inch Rocket or a slightly larger 394. Finally, the 455 Rocket was first available in 1968, and last offered in 1976.

Shortly after my Dad passed from Leukemia, I came across a used 1984 Delta 88 Royale, that had the Olds dieselized, piece of junk motor in it, for a song. My dear late father-in-law, also an Olds freak and mechanic found out about my find for Mom. We ended up putting a rebuilt 455, with a probuilt THD 400 trans in it for her. Added dual flomaster exhaust, and man, what a nice soynding sleeper!! She just loved that car (still remembering her smile, when she did her first brake torque with it)!!

I feel every word - them was the Good Ole' Days. I had a few Muscle Cars in the 1970s - 1969 Boss 429 Mustang, 1970 Mustang Mach I (351C) and a 1970 Torino Cobra (429/370HP). Everyone had a Muscle Car - and you drove it to work Monday through Friday, took it to the Drag strip Saturday Night, opened the headers and bolted on a set of slicks and raced all night! And if someone challenged you at a stoplight, wellllll........ The Olds 442 was a respectable ride in that time - cool stripes and scoops on the hood. Between the cars and the hard driving 1960's-70's Music, well, there hasn't been anything as good since! Thanks for the memories, Kathy!

Is there anything more addictive in a song than hand-clap percussion ? Love it here !

Grew up on Oldsmobiles! My father used to take me out on Woodward Ave when I was growing up. Those were the days!

Not a real big country fan. But I've always liked Johnny and Reba, I'm 63 and just recently come across this young lady who's pulling me in. And I like it. What gearhead would not.

My Dad had a car like this. His was black and a neighbor had one this color. I loved watching the speedometer go through the colors. I love this car

I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on KZbin🧡
