Kasey, guess its time to let the cat out of the bag. This is the rare "51 to 10" transition paint. Dusk blue in the front transitioning to Tuxedo Black.

The '68 Olds 442 is a neat car. A friend just picked it up. It's a PA car but the body and undercarriage are wonderful. 18K original miles, original paint in very nice condition. Unrestored with terrific original patina that'll knock your socks off. It's got a rather unique set of options: W30, power front drum brakes, vinyl top, am/fm, rear defogger, 8 track tape player, outside air induction (standard on W30?). There is no power steering. A real mix of luxury and performance oriented options

. Original owner bought it to race and exchanged the 3.42s for 3.91s. The car has plenty of curb appeal. Not the biggest '68 fan, but this one sends me. Looks menacing with the 2 large low-slung nostrils beneath the front bumper. His Olds collection now has 68,69, 70 ('vert) W30 and '69 HO!

'68 is my favorite 442. Great body, vent windows and that vertical stripe.

While we are on the topic of Oldsmobiles..... last week under the "Pavillions 04-01-06" heading I promised photos of my friends '66 L69 442 knuckle-dragger in Autumn Bronze. Well he had a small setback in gettin one of his grille pieces in and being the perfectionist that he is, he decided to wait a week to show off his new beauty. Well, Don forwarded me some early edition photos of his "new" ride.

Enjoy: Knuckle Dragger!
