Information on title.
Hello all, great sight with so much knowledge from a great bunch of people. Here is a question, I recently purchased a 68 cutlass s convertible. My first Oldsmobile. The guy I bought it from did not tell me it was a 442 and the trim tag and vin tag both confirm that it's not a 442, but the title which is an Indiana title says it is a cutlass 442 convertible written on the title from the SOS.Anyone encounter this kind of thing? I'm not overly concerned about it but more curious.
Thanks for any help on this.....Mike.

I live in Indiana, and I bought a 64 Vista Cruiser, the title had wagon on it, but I had it changed to Vista Cruiser. DMV will put down what you want some of the time. Like ignachuck said. vin is the only thing that matters. and I would like to know what SOS is also

I kind of thought someone just told them to add it. Just checking if it was an Olds thing..would a 442 actually be titled that way as a model? And SOS is Secretary of state. Who we have to pay our money to for registration of vehicles in Michigan...thanks for the info guys....

A 68 442 is a car, as is a 69-71. All other years, the car is a Cutlass with a 442 package. The 68 model year often had Cutlass cowl tags, but 442 vin numbers for 442s. The Cutlasses had their own vin and the right cowl tag.
A 68 442 SHOULD be titled "68 442." A 67 442 SHOULD be titled "67 Cutlass Supreme." DMV people, however, are not the sharpest knives in the butcher block.
