=='''Olds 442 Description'''==

==Description==
  +
The '''Olds 442''' is a Hot Wheels casting designed by [[Larry Wood]] which debuted in the [[List of 1971 Hot Wheels|1971 Hot Wheels]] range of vehicles, based on the 1970 Oldsmobile 442. It is undoubtedly the rarest overall casting of all cars from the Redline era (1968-1977). It is highly sought after and even cars in poor condition are somewhat valuable.
−
'''Olds 442''' was a casting released in the 1971 Hot Wheels line-up.
  
   
  +
It was manufactured in 1971 and was produced at the Hong Kong factory. It features an opening hood which displays a detailed motor. The glass varies from being completely clear, to having a slight light blue tint. It was packaged with a decal sheet of white stripes with stars which was to be applied by the owner, it also came with either a metal or plastic 'Collectors Button'.
−
Production models will have white interior only
  
   
−
There are black interior versions in red, it is unknown if it prototype or just a short version in early production.
 +
All production versions came with a white interior. Some Spectraflame Red cars have been found with a black interior and it is unknown whether they were a pre-production prototype or a very short run early in production. 
   
  +
It was painted in a variety of [[Spectraflame ]] colors. While all original '''Olds 442''' are hard to find, no matter the color, Purple is the rarest and is the rarest of all Hot Wheels from the Redline Era (excluding prototypes).
   
  +
In 1973, the '''Olds 442''' was given a light dome in the roof and renamed the [[Olds 442 Police Cruiser|Police Cruiser]]. Similar versions with lights on the roof were released under the names [[Fire Chief]], [[Maxi Taxi]] and [[Staff Car]] over the next few years.
−
Also see the [[Olds 442]] page to see all the different Olds 442 Castings. Ultimately, this '''Olds 442''' was [[Re-Tool|re-tooled]] in 2004 to appear in the [[HotWheelsCollectors.com Series 3]]-Real Riders.
  
   
  +
The '''Olds 442''' was re-tooled in 2004 for the [[HotWheelsCollectors.com Series 3#Real Riders|HotWheelsCollectors.com Series 3&nbsp;Real Riders]].

Description

The Olds 442 is a Hot Wheels casting designed by Larry Wood which debuted in the 1971 Hot Wheels range of vehicles, based on the 1970 Oldsmobile 442. It is undoubtedly the rarest overall casting of all cars from the Redline era (1968-1977). It is highly sought after and even cars in poor condition are somewhat valuable.

It was manufactured in 1971 and was produced at the Hong Kong factory. It features an opening hood which displays a detailed motor. The glass varies from being completely clear, to having a slight light blue tint. It was packaged with a decal sheet of white stripes with stars which was to be applied by the owner, it also came with either a metal or plastic 'Collectors Button'.

All production versions came with a white interior. Some Spectraflame Red cars have been found with a black interior and it is unknown whether they were a pre-production prototype or a very short run early in production. 

It was painted in a variety of Spectraflame colors. While all original Olds 442 are hard to find, no matter the color, Purple is the rarest and is the rarest of all Hot Wheels from the Redline Era (excluding prototypes).

In 1973, the Olds 442 was given a light dome in the roof and renamed the Police Cruiser. Similar versions with lights on the roof were released under the names Fire Chief, Maxi Taxi and Staff Car over the next few years.

The Olds 442 was re-tooled in 2004 for the HotWheelsCollectors.com Series 3 Real Riders.

Several castings have been made based on various Oldsmobile 442 models, please see the Olds 442 page to see them all.
