1970 Platinum w/blue stripes
Looking for a picture of a '70 442 (preferably a convertible) in Platinum with blue stripes and interior. I see that this was a "recommended" combination in '70 but every picture of a Platinum car I can find has black stripes/top - and this includes the one I found with a blue interior. Does anyone have pictures of this combo? thanks!

Not to get off topic here but ------ we where discussing why Oldsmobile ? I advised in my post earlier for me it was Gramps 57 Olds.
We were not Olds people in my family but we were GM.
It started with a 55 Bel Air 2 door hard top, My mom rolled it in a accident which resulted in a messed up leg and some facial surgery but she survived the car did not, so Mom and Pop then bought a 57 Belair 2 door hardtop, they then traded that in on a 63 Impala Convertible (moms first convertible, she was hooked) that was followed by a 1966 Catalina convert which was traded in on a 1969 Catalina convert, which was sold out right to purchase a 1969 Buick Electra convertible (long car !! even a longer story behind it) that car brought them from Chicago to Phx
Dad passed and Mom bought her first Ford a 76 Torino 4 door (it was actually a nice car ! that car broke the GM cycle she drove it till she passed.
Anyway that brings me to this point, DID THIS HAPPEN IN YOUR FAMILY ? both my parents worked so they needed two cars, Mom got the new cars and dad got what we called THE BEATERS ! Dad was not a car guy but he always seemed to pick mechanically sound cars but boy what a patch work of vehicles, there was no brand loyalty when it came to Pops beaters the only one that wasn't a beater was the previously mentioned 57 Olds he bought from Gramps .Here's the parade of beaters I remember. a 1952 Dodge Cranbrook 4 door with rusted out floor boards, a1957 Chevy 210 that was stolen from where Dad worked one day, a 1955 Nash Ambassador yes I said Nash it actually was a pretty cool car but it may have been the only lemon he picked . he even had a Renault Dauphine for a while (it didn't last long) and a 63 Chevy Biscayne 2 door sedan 6 cyl, radio delete with rubber floor mats. so that's it Mom had the nice GM's Dad got what ever rolled and was affordable at the time.
