Fit it with beefed-up wheels and Red-Lines. Add a high performance axle for action. Twin pipes for sound. Buckets for comfort. And the cool economics of a modest price tag. That's strictly standard stuff on America's most sweetly complete street machine: The new quality-built Olds 4-4-2. Now let your nearest Olds Dealer show you how neatly the package is wrapped".
