Hurst/Olds by chance! - Old Cars Weekly Newsletter

Old Cars has everything for the vintage car enthusiast

A Hurst/Olds by chance For one owner, a 1975 Olds 4-4-2 ended up with a matching Hurst/Olds purchase. The Oldsmobile and Hurst Performance partnership produced 10 Hurst/Olds models during the 20-year, on-and-off partnership that began in 1968 with the pavement-pounding, high-horsepower models through the anemic last Aero "kit edition" for 1988.  Although suffering from the low-power engines of the mid 1970s, the 1975 Hurst/Olds was significant for several reasons. It was the last year to feature the 455-cid V-8 that had been the standard Hurst/Olds powerplant since the model was introduced in 1968. The "Hurst Hatch" T-top was first introduced to General Motors vehicles with the '75 Hurst/Olds (and Buick Century Free Spirit) as a replacement to the convertible body style, GM having last offered an A-body convertible model in 1972. Catalytic convertors were now required, and the 1975 Hurst/Olds was the first to sell more than 2,000 units, delivering to customers 1,242 black cars and 1,293 white cars for a total of 2,535 1975 Hurst/Olds cars.
