It’s All About the NUMBERS...... 69 HO Story

new to me from from 2009 +- (2 pages)

It’s All About the NUMBERS......By Judy Badgley

The 1969 Hurst/Olds hit the streets and the strips 40 years ago this year. They were as outrageous to see as their predecessor, the 68 H/O was understated. Their bold hood scoops and spoiler along with the gold stripes made them a “head turner” and people everywhere noticed them. The same is true today. They are the most recognizable H/O on the road. When Oldsmobile builds a car they have some identifying numbers attached to the cars. Then in 1969 you add in the numbering used for the Hurst/Olds. The H/O’s were not built in consecutive order. They were built mixed in with the other Cutlass’s, 442’s, etc. Some of this numbering is confusing and has caused some questions over the years. I would like to use this article to clarify some of the procedures for numbering the 1969 Hurst/Olds. (continued)

{ see Registration card included with a 69 Hurst/Olds. The H/OCA Research Library has a copy of the compiled registration list and the original owners.}

Judy has provided some very detailed articles about the '69 H/Os, the family has been into Oldsmobiles for many years. I got the chance to talk with her at the H/OCA Nationals in Indy last year, super nice lady.
