I would like some insight on what to look for on the cowl/trim tag to verify it is a true 442. It's missing some emblems on the rear and sides, but I know the guy before me damaged panels in the past, so not sure. Anyway, I would like to see a picture of someones trim/cowl tag possibly edited with a circle around what number/letters I should be looking for which will differentiate it from being a regular F-85 cutlass to a true 442. Anyone know how many F-85's were made in production in '65? What about the 442 production numbers? Are both rare? One more than the other? Very curious to see if this car that I inherited really is a 442. I hope so, because it has a 400 cid and dual exhaust with a 4 barrel carb. hmmmm. Any other tell tale signs of a 442?

A picture of one's tag would be nice. I can't get to mine for another week to take a picture of my vin, tag, and engine code. This site really needs a section dedicated to tags, numbers, ids, etc..... ]]> 442 dmcianfa http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/442/26494-442.html 1969 442 wheel opening chrome on quarter http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/442/26493-1969-442-wheel-opening-chrome-quarter.html Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:35:59 GMT I am looking for a new wheel opening molding chrome that goes on the passenger side quarter panel on a 69 442.

Off the top of my head, it was in the neighborhoood of 1 or 2%. I dno't suppose you have those numbers, too, so you can embarass me again, do you? :o

Don't have numbers for combined options (unless they are exclusive).
Okay, now cruise definitively is a relatively rare option.
Approx 2.1% of the 442s had cruise. Highest % was in the Cutlass Supreme Series at approx 6.5%
Overall in the F-85 lines, it as approx 1.7%.
V-8 and auto trans required for cruise. ]]> 442 wmachine http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/442/26461-1970-cruise-control.html <![CDATA[Another '66 442 cowl tag quiz]]> http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/442/26443-another-66-442-cowl-tag-quiz.html Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:41:55 GMT Need help with this cowl tag:

Not sure what size the original radiator was as I got the car with the wrong one. I bought a 3 core radiator new from OPG. The tank with the trans cooling lines is 3 1/2" wide. The other side tank is 2 3/4 wide where the rubber mounts go. Is this normal for a 3 core radiator on a 67? All the other dimentions look correct. Looks like I will have to modify the right side top and bottom brackets to get this to work. Any insite on this would be apprciated. :confused:
