I have seen 442's with the cutlass type of side rear window, the smaller one, and the rear window with the angle in the center. Then other 442's with the longer sloping side rear window, which my 74 has. The 73 would take a lot less time to restore. Any thoughts? Thanks David  |
The 442 package was only an option on the 73-77 cars, so it won't show up in the VIN. ALL 442s in those years used the sloping roof, not the Cutlass Supreme squared off roof. Any that you've seen with the Supreme roofline were fabricated, not factory. The 73-74 H/O also used the sloping roof, the 75 H/O used the squared off Supreme roof.
