HEMMINGS MOTOR NEWS COVER CAR JULY 2023
Fred Mandrick’s unrestored 1968 Oldsmobile 442 W30 Holiday Coupe is a rare 18,000-mile survivor that perfectly captures the raw spirit of American muscle, featuring the top-tier W30 performance package with a 400ci V8 rated at 360 hp, Force-Air Induction, a special Oldsmobile-only camshaft, and revised 455 heads. This pillarless hardtop stuns in factory Code “F” Teal Frost with red 442 stripes and a black vinyl hardtop—an eye-catching combo that’s as bold as it is rare. The W30’s signature red inner fenders and untouched factory quirks make this car a true time capsule, preserving the authentic craftsmanship and imperfections of 1960’s production. As originality becomes more prized among collectors, this Holiday Coupe stands out not just for its power and style, but for its unrepeatable authenticity—Auto World is proud to bring you this piece of muscle car history.
