I looked up the restorer on Facebook.Looks like their Oldsmobile W-30 guys. Surely these guys new the history of the cars before the restorations. It's a shame if they did because they do phenomenal work.To me it gives their shop a black eye.

When it came to 442 stripes Old recommendation was that the stripes should match the top and or the interior color whenever possible. To get a different color the salesman had to specify which color the customer wanted.

My 69' W-30 was black with white guts ... gold stripes.

I wonder why Olds changed the options besides saving $$ ...

What does the asterisk indicate?

Those colors were not available on the Toronado

So that would make it a W30 clone and nothing at all like the story board displayed in front of it ?
Yes, it is a 442 with the W30 option and 4 speed added as well as some other changes, so a clone.

Look at the top right of this attached file.

Hence, white stripes were the default for Burgundy Mist, so the person working the order form specified a different color.
