In the late 1960s Oldsmobile combined their efforts and took the already popular 442, added extra horsepower and flash, and created the famed Hurst/Olds. Using Oldsmobile's largest engine, the 455ci big block used in the Division's luxury sedans, the Hurst/Olds was packed not only with 390hp but a full complement of optional extras as well. Hurst sold every one it could build, a total of almost 1,500 over 1968-1969. The Hurst appearance package includes Cameo White paint with Firefrost Gold accents and black pinstriping, Hurst/Olds fender and trunk badges, the iconic twin-scooped hood with Ram Air intake system and 455 engine call-outs, a fiberglass rear spoiler and color-keyed Rally road wheels, here mounting BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Another trademark feature of the Hurst/Olds is the high-grade black interior fitted with bucket seats and console, Hurst dual gate "His and Hers" shifter, factory tachometer and gauges, and push-button radio.
