65 Oldsmobile Cutlass

First Oldsmobile and first classic car!

I just purchased a 65 Oldsmobile Cutlass, it has a completely rebuilt 330 in it. It was badged as a 442 and I’m not a big fan of clone cars. The grille has the 442 emblem as well as the trunk I have tried to find cutlass emblems or even what is supposed to be there, but no luck.. the dash also has the 442 emblems as well. looking for ideas.

Thanks!

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Nobody is going to mistake it for a 4-4-2, as it's missing the scalloped faux side scoops and 4-4-2 emblems that go on them.

As far as the correct Cutlass emblems go, reproductions are just as close as your Google search engine.

Nice ride, best of luck with it!

The cutlass has no emblem on the grill so you can just take off the 442 one.
To fix the back you may need to get a new panel with the cutlass emblem and sell the one you have.
The dash is not even a correct dash, it is out of a 66 or 67.
There was no emblem on the glove box door for the cutlass or the 442, depending on how it is mounted you may need a new glove box door.
If you keep the dash you could find a cutlass emblem to replace the 442 one.
The ones on the fender are correct.
