Hey guys, I am new to this forum but not new to olds. My first car, in 1980, was a 72 Cutlass S that I still wish I had
. I am driving a 1980 L82 vette right now and hope to be adding an olds to the garage
. I have a question about the correct hood and paint on a 71 442 coupe. I see some have a center stripe down the hood with a louvered hood. This configuration has different stripes on the side of the car than the forced air hood which has the raised part striped along with a similar but different stripe along the sides of the car. Are the hoods and paint sheme optioned differently when they are a 442 as opposed to a 442 with the W-30 option. I am looking at a 71 442 coupe with a correct vin and engine casting number which is currently painted with a stripe down the middle of the hood which has louvers. There are 3 thin stripes along the side of the car. Hope to be an olds owner again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
