I bought this car about a month ago('72 442 convertible) & have been playing around with it, checking it out & so forth & trying to decide weather to keep it or flip it. Today I decided to pick up my girlie from school in it. She has ridden in my Rallye before & doesn't care for it(too loud).. Also took her for a ride in my Vista & she wasn't too impressed with it either. When I opened the garage door a few weeks ago & she saw the 442 for the first time, she said "ohh, pretty". I really didn't need much of an excuse to keep it & that made the decision even easier. So I drop the top today & cruise to her school & she comes out & sees it & says "Awesome daddy, awesome!" Needless to say I was a happy boy! Then on the way home she points her finger at me & says "Don't ever sell this car!" Another reason to keep it, don't want her mad at me.

 

very cute, just like my girls. Whats funny is I bet eventually she will ask why you know so many people because she will see so many people wave to you as you drive by,

 

NICE! Now it is set in stone - that car stays!
Good pics!

 

Tres cool, thanks for posting

 

And another father daughter moment brought to you by the collector car market! At this rate you know that car will be hers in the future, if not already!!!

 

Great Pics. After we got hit in the Old convertible my daughter took a while to want to ride in this one... Now she enjoys it. Cherish the time.... Here are a few of my daughter and mine

 

Out of the mouths of babes - My daughters first comment when I bought my 71 Cutlass S a year ago was - "It smells like old people" - I about peed myself laughing...

When I got the car there were some water leaks that had the car smelling a little musty inside - all good now!

The second funny thing she said was "Dad, how do the windows go down?" These young people - shes 14 and has never been in car with crank windows!

 

My little girl, 9 now, say's that this will be her car @ 16! Maybe if I put the original 350 in her!

 

haha my 4yo sons comment about my 71 convertable (stored for 15+years) "whats that smell" me "thats old convertable smell" him "can we get rid of the smell"
