If you're referring to the 442 being an option on the Cutlass, Pontiac did the same in '64 with the GTO. GTO was an option package on the LeMans. Insurance companies could care less about whether the GTO and 442 were options or distinct models. They set rates by engine size.

The 442 was only a separate model with a unique VIN in the model years 1968-1971. From 64-67 it was an option package available on certain Cutlass and F85 models, but the package had a unique engine. For 72-up it was a "handling and appearance" package available on pretty much any 2dr Cutlass model and available with any Cutlass engine and trans (including the Buick V6, the dreaded 260 Olds, and even the 305 Chevy in some years).
