I have that patch too, but not sure if it was an actual club. Windbreakers with car patches were pretty cool back in the day and a must have if you went to the drags. Some patches were available from speed parts companies, others you could buy from vendors.

I've done searching in the past and have not come up with any indication that there ever was a "442 Club" that related to that patch. That patch and that jacket *are* vintage, and there are a fair number of that combination out there. But as Mike suggests, I they were just offered as general merchandise "back then". That patch is being reproduced now, but there are still vintage ones out there, obviously. I'll try to post some jacket pics this weekend.

Okay, Tom here you go. As you can see, there are a couple varieties of the gold jackets, 3 shown.
The "maroon" colored jackets seem to be more common, but again their was quite a variety. There are 7 in that pic.
I have over 2 dozen more Olds jackets of various origins.

I used to see those car jackets for sale at K-Mart back then.
They had "The Judge" windbreaker jackets with the patch and stripe in several colors well into the 70's, mostly orange...I mean Carousel Red. The Ford Cobra jacket with the snake on wheels was big too. I don't remember Olds jackets but I wasn't looking for them.
I was in a car gang, one guy was a 6 foot 10 greaser who smoked a pipe, nobody messed with us. We ruled Big Boy and the McDonalds at the other end of the strip and all betwixt the two.
In '73 we had jackets made and I designed the lettering and logo. Not bad for a punk grease monkey 18 year old now that I look at it again, still fits too.
"The Continentals", what a bunch of throwbacks, the hippies hated us, no peace between us.....man.
