1968 Oldsmobile 442 Mod Rod

Factory Show Car

Arriving soon! This is Oldsmobile's 442 "Mod Rod" - a one of a kind factory show car that debuted at the Chicago Auto Show in 1968. It was featured on a turntable in the Oldsmobile display under the banner "Olds is Young" along with a young model in matching attire. It continued to be shown at various other new car auto shows across North America. After the 1968 auto show season the car was purchased by an Oldsmobile dealer in North Carolina who displayed it on their showroom floor for a period of time. It later became a daily college commuter for the daughter of the dealership owner which is when it accumulated most of the 9,000 miles showing on the odometer today. The original owners removed it from long term storage in 2016 and put back on the road. It has 9,000 original miles. It's powered by its matching number 400 cubic inch V8 engine teamed to its matching number four speed manual transmission. Also equipped with power steering, power brakes, power windows, power top, AM/FM radio and a factory eight track tape player. For details call Dave Murray at 407 592-5039. All cars shown by appointment.
