info

Welcome.

Just an fyi leather was not offered in the 1980 Olds 442. The color of the interior is black but the material is vinyl not leather. Vinyl interios were avaialbe in black, white or tan. Cloth interiors were all fawn.

886 1980 442s were made. If I recall correctly 540 of them were sold in Canada & the rest to USA. Roughly 40% were black cars. Of those approximately half had the T tops & half did not.

Enjoy your car.

I messed up in my above post. The correct production numbers are
538 black cars & 348 white cars with a total of 886 made. 540 of the 886 were sold in Canada.

The black cars got black vinyl with tan vinyl or cloth optional.

The white cars got white vinyl with tan cloth or vinyl optional.

There were no black cars with white vinyl & no white cars with black vinyl.

I used to know how many cars in total got T tops but I do not recall exactly the number. I have owned 6 of these cars & a 1979 HO. I think it was around 40% of the total 886 made that got T tops.

To my knowlege there is no specific break down on how many of the black cars got black viny vs tan vinyl vs fawn cloth.
