1. 10 cars that I think define
cool.
In no particular order.
2. 1970 Oldsmobile 442
It had 2 wheel drive, Four Barrel Carburetion,
Four On the Floor Dual Exhausts
1965 (First year of automatic and three
speed manual transmission option on 442)
400 Cubic Inch Displacement, Four Barrel
Carburetion. Dual Exhaust.
4: 400 engine 4: Nothing, 2bbl Turnpike
Cruiser option available 2: Dual Exhaust-Actually in 1967 the 442 did stand for 400
engine, 4 bbl carb and 2 exhaust. The 2bbl
Turnpike Cruiser was an option. The standard
400 engine was a 4 bbl carb. The name may
seem like it wasn't really associated with the
muscle car era but it still made a lot of profit.

5. Rolls Royce
Shadow
The Shadow featured a 172 hp (128 kW) 6.2 L V8
from 1965 to 1969, and a 189 hp (141 kW) 6.75 L
V8 from 1970 to 1980. It came in a 4 door or 2 door
saloon. It was a British car so the steering wheel
was on the right because they drive on the left side
of the road instead of the right. Its may not be a
muscle car, But the reason I like it is because of its
sweet grill and it’s interior, all seats were leather,
like most cars of the time. This model was a four
door with 5 sheets, 2 I front and 3 in back.

Light on the bottom of the car instead of on
