I find that most of the Olds cars with trunk stripes are painted by Chevy guys that don't know any better. The Olds cars didn't have deck lid stripes. The hood was striped and the deck lid had pin stripes along the deck lid edge parallel with the bumper. Most cases just a single stripe or fine dual pin stripes. You need to look at some of the car photos to verify. That is not to say that the stripes can to some degree be what you like if you are not building a correct restoration. I slightly changed the stripe on my 67 442 because I wanted a little something different and I do get comments from the guys who are the "EXPERTS". They remind me that they are not "CORRECT" but I just laugh at those guys. I know some of the Hurst cars were different but production Cutlasses and 442's had no deck lid stripes.
