To fight the tightening regulations that were destroying the muscle car class, Oldsmobile introduced a bright yellow Rally 350 model. It was a clever way to avoid high insurance premiums with smaller but still powerful 350 V8 engines with 310 HP. This model was a 442-muscle car with a smaller engine and a lower price. The most interesting features were bright yellow paint, yellow bumpers, spoiler, and wheel inserts. It looked like somebody dropped the Oldsmobile Cutlass in a tank of bright yellow paint.
