    80. This video dives into 10 fascinating facts and secrets about the iconic Oldsmobile 442 muscle car that even die-hard fans may not know.
    First, we look at the surprising origins of the 442 name and how it evolved from initially meaning a 4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed transmission, and dual exhaust. In the mid-60s heyday of American muscle cars, the 442 packed a thumping 400 cubic inch V8.
    Next, we reveal some of the more obscure special edition 442 models like the rare W-30 and Hurst-built versions. These ultra-high performance takes on Olds' muscle car pushed the limits of what a factory 442 could be.
    We also explore some of the fascinating engineering used in the 442's powerful drivelines and muscular suspension setups designed for maximum acceleration and cornering prowess. The 442 was much more than just a straight-line muscle car.
    Shifting to styling, we look at some of the more subtle and lesser-known design cues that differentiated the 442 from other Oldsmobile models, helping give the muscle car its unmistakable look.
    Finally, we reveal surprising facts about the 442's pop culture impact and legacy as one of the quintessential American muscle cars from the golden era of performance in the 1960s.
    So whether you're a lifelong 442 fan or just getting into classic muscle cars, this video is sure to uncover some secrets and little-known trivia about this iconic Oldsmobile.

      @RogerMorazzano Have no clue, people that claims its the worst are nothing but clueless morons. The worst 442 is definitely the 73 to 78.

    I owned two 442s. A ‘66 tri-powered holiday coupe, four speed with 3:08 posi rear. It was very fast and handled very well. I then upgrade to a ‘69 four speed holiday coupe with 3:73 posi rear. It would brake the rear tires loose in forth at 70 mph when I floored it. I could smoke the tires from first to forth. It handled and braked with the best of them. Then I went all out with a 70 454 Vette coupe, for speed. Now that was really fast!

    I believe that the Oldsmobile 442 is not the worse muscle car, just became underpowered over a period of time, which is in my opinion though totally wrong in more ways than one,but still cool as hell good, great job with this video.

    The 442 was an OLDSMOBILE….which was a GENERAL MOTORS-BUILT CAR. ( Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick, & Cadillac.
    CHRYSLER CORPORATION (Mopar) was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COMPANY (Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, & Imperial) and would NOT supply engines to a GENERAL MOTORS CAR BRAND .
    Time for some more FACT CHECKING, maybe?
