4-door front wheel drive Hurst/Olds???

The other day at a stoplight I saw a later model 4-door Olds with Hurst/Olds badges. I think it was a Cutlass Cierra or Calais maybe? It had some nice looking factory aluminum wheels with wider than usual tires. Was this a true factory Hurst/Olds or did somebody just stick the badges on it? Anybody ever see one?

There was the '85 Indy Pace Car that was a Calais, and the '88 was a Cutlass Supreme Indy Pace Car.
But no H/O, and no 4-door.

Which were not added by Hurst or Oldsmobile. Keep in mind that repro H/O badges are available to anyone.

By the way, George Hurst did build a custom 68 442 (not a H/O) with a FWD Toronado drivetrain. I never have figured out why...

Thanks for the replys. So I guess it wasn't a real Hurst/Olds. That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure.
