The Oldsmobile Story – Why Is This Brand Still Relevant

Oldsmobile 442 W30 (1970)

The 1970 model year was big for Oldsmobile 442 and all GM muscle cars. General Motors lifted its corporate ban on putting engines bigger than 400 CID in intermediate bodies, so all GM muscle cars, including the 442, got the big block and more power. The 1970 442 got the mighty 455 V8 with 370 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque.
