Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds

The Hurst/Olds was a series of special-edition performance cars that Oldsmobile built with Hurst Performance of Warminster, Pennsylvania, from the Oldsmobile 442 and later the Cutlass Supreme. The first, the 1968 Hurst/Olds, shared the Cutlass body but wore a Peruvian Silver and black paint scheme and a 455 cubic inch Rocket V8 rated at 390 horsepower, with a Hurst Dual-Gate shifter; 515 were made. It returned in 1969 in gold on white, was dropped for 1970, came back in 1972 as the Indianapolis 500 pace car edition, and followed the Cutlass through the Colonnade years of 1973 to 1975, when it introduced the Hurst/Hatch removable roof. A 1979 version was the first built entirely by Oldsmobile, and the 15th anniversary cars of 1983 and 1984 used a 307 cubic inch V8 and Hurst Lightning Rods shifter.
