This rare triple blue optioned 442 has undergone a meticulous frame-off rotisserie restoration to the highest degree, which is evident in every way, complimented by its laser-straight body and beautiful finish. It has show-quality panel fit, brightwork, date coded glass and upholstery. The engine compartment and underside are mirror-ready and will handle any white-glove test. The build sheet reveals that the body was built and assembled at the Linden New Jersey and was originally sold at Mack Markowitz Oldsmobile in Hempstead New York.
