sorry, i just had to do it. well, it does look new. we were in walmart and i was looking at the hot wheels for some reason. i never do that. i looked right over it several times because i did not like the colors of it. my wife said "isn't that a 442" i said where. and it was this one. shame on me for not noticing it.

Years ago a buddy bought one that was a police car. He cut off the lights, sanded it down and painted it the color of my car

 

Im always trying to find 1 bt never get lucky!!!!

 

My son says he loves your new car. It's pretty cool.

 

finally and Olds we can all afford to own

 

Hey Eric - nice find!! Good luck finding parts for it

If you're into diecast, there is a company that just started offering a 72 442. They also sell a Rallye and about 20 different 70 - 72 Olds. I own the 71 SX and the detail in incredible. Yes, they're a little pricey but they look great on a shelf in the garage. I bought a clear display case for mine to keep the dust off. Also, there are places that will take them apart and repaint to your specifications...or you could do it yourself. Here is the link if you want to give Santa a heads up: http://www.exactdetail.com/replicas.htm?series=3.

Send me a pm and let me know how the 72 is working out for you and the MS.! Happy Holidays!!

Theres a brown version of that badboy also!

 

I don't know why (and neither does my wife) but when I'm in Walmart or Zellers I have to check out the Hot Wheels, Matchbox and any other toy car makers. I always buy any Oldsmobile I find. The last one was the 1/64 scale 1953 Oldsmobile in both the transparent and the standard versions. I have a ton of little Oldsmobiles already.

 

I saw this one, 99 cents at Toys r Us

 

Thanks for the link but it says they are sold out of the one I would want. I will have to contact them to see if they will make another run.

 

I haven't seen that color combo until now,I'll have to look for it,

in addition to the brown one that BigJerr mentioned is a white one.

Then there are these without the wild & crazy 1970's car craft paint jobs.

i like the W-36 stripes on those. i like the blast and paint idea mentioned above. hay joe, will i need to relocate the 442 on my finders to paint these on there?

 

I would love to find a model of a 72 Cutlass Supreme somewhere, but I just don't think they exist.

 

Well, at least it won't take you that long to polish it!

 

Cutlass Gal, this one looks close!

http://cgi.ebay.com/1-24-1972-Oldsmo...item1e59916210

I did a search of 442 and 401 items came up, then tried Olds* and got 960 items.

 

I found a couple of them sittin' around.
The white one is a little worn and it looks like house paint, cop with OAI is pretty cool.

I'm not real familiar with newer models.
Is the orange thing a buttless Cutlass?

 

A butless cutlass??? I don't want a 442... just a plain old supreme. That cop car is cool!

 

Every one is sold out I definitely think the detail of those is worth the $100.

 

Till today!!!!! My lady and I were wrapping the last of the gifts and she hands me a ten pack of hotwheels to wrap.... First thing I see sticking out like a sore thumb!!!!!!

See Wyze there is a Santa Claus

 

I've searched all over for a 1969 442 hardtop coupe, crimson red.....(Like mine) Anyone know where I may find it?
Thanks
Eddie

 

Check these babies out, wish they were real! Hey Ida, johnny lightning makes the 69

 

Yeah, that would have been a 1970. Sadly I did the same thing. The police car and fire chief versions of the 70 442 are worth a few bucks to collectors.

The 442 was labeled "hot rod holiday collectables" and cost $.97. A screamin deal

 

AAAH!!! Lose the wheels!!!

 

Yeah... what he said!! If anyone ever sees a plain old 72 Cutlass, get it for me, will ya???

 

Congrats to all who got theirs! Just wish I could find a '65!

Ralph

 

Sandy,
I don't think the Supreme is made.I've been looking for a 71 Supreme and haven't been able to locate one

 

I wonder why??? They are nice cars too.

 

Sandy, The 71 and 72 Supreme are beautiful. The rest are nice too.

 

i had this for several years and decided to get it out. i just don't know where i am going to put it.
