Hi everyone, Ive had my 442 a little over ten years and can't part with her. That is the longest I've ever owned/kept a vehicle. She drives and rides great and as the old saying goes "They don't build 'em like that anymore." Only thing she needs is an update to EFI for better fuel economy.

There were 17,437 1985 Cutlass Salon coupes build, though there doesn't seem to be anything on how many were built with the W42 442 package.

Normally, 442.com (Oldsfaq) is not is not one of the most reliable sources, but Mike Rothe is an authority on the subject. If (a big if) he was quoted accurately, the '85 section is accurate.
