My first Oldsmobile
This Kodak 110 picture is from 1978. I paid $750 for the 442, I knew it all at the age of 21 
and yes I did replace the factory buckets with a set of 1974 swivel buckets as I was working at a wrecking yard at the time and did not know any better as most of us did not at the time. This was my daily driver, I kept my 1974 Cuda bundled up in the winter.Wish I still had both of em, this was a beast, I blew the 400 up, replaced it with a 425, smoked that and then put a 455 out of a 70 98, broke a rod and ( I was not shy of mashing the gas) then put a 72 350 2 bbl in it so I could get to work, sold it for $500 in 1985, it was just a car then dohhhhhhhhh...........

ha well i guess if you would take some grand am now and keep it in perfect shape for 100 years it would be quite a classic (not to compare that beaut to a grand am but you know what i mean) But regardless that is a very very nice car.
