Thumbs up 442 in new Tom Petty song
The song "Let Yourself Go" on the new Tom Petty album "Mojo" has a verse about a 442.
By the way, it's a '69 Jamesbo.


"I got a 442 sittin' in the sun
Well, it been ten years since she used to run
Man, she was a beauty in '69
But there ain't no more comin' down the line"

The Prettiest One needs T-tops, then she could be just like the song.

Redgoat says the the Petty song would be a lot better if he said GTO.

I was told that Oldsmobile means,
"Overpriced, Leisurely Driven Sedan Made Of Buick's Irregular Leftover Equipment".

Is that true?...

Had to add "Let Yourself Go" to my song list since it mentioned an Olds.
