Saw no indication that it was a 442, just a customized supreme. Built for a specific purpose, go fast, be reliable and get fairly decent mileage doing it. Don't bash me, I still love my Olds.

Boasting 650 horsepower, Penelope is what happens when you resurrect a classic 442 Oldsmobile with $150,000 in the sort of bells and whistles its original owner could never have conceived, like a GPS system flagging local speed limits, or a rear-view mirror posting digital temperatures. Blomster is the first to admit she may have gone overboard. "It's like cosmetic surgery," she says. "It gets to the point where you've just got to stop."

Who cares. She put 150k in the car and I am sure it drives like a beast. Enough to handle a race from NY to LA to say the least. Also, aren't you happy to see an Olds mixed in with all those exotics? To the average guy in the crowd, they could care less what it under the hood as long as "it looks pretty"

The car belongs to my neighbor. I own a correct '70 4spd 442 convertible, but she definitely enjoys her car more. Although heavily modified, and not really to my taste, it is the perfect set up for very long distance road trips. It performs better then the original in every way, and she has driven the mileage to prove it.
