No Cutlass Supreme hardtop 442's so everything is wrong as far as 442 and W-30 are concerned!

100% correct. The ONLY Cutlass Supreme (68 -72) that was eligible for 442 was the convertible. There are tons of faux 442 Cutlass Supremes that are misrepresented in these years.

Should note (although not on topic with this thread) that 442 was offered only on the Cutlass Supreme (hardtop, sports coupe, vert) in 67 and on select models of 66 Cutlass, f85 and f85 deluxe as the V code option in column 5 of the cowl tag IIRC.

However, a picture of an original blue 442 does not prove that the car in the picture is the seller's 442.

Very True!! Good thing I have those 2 broadcast cast cards to substantiate the picture!!
