About This Item
This 1/18 scale diecast model of the 1968 Oldsmobile 442 W30 Holiday Coupe in Teal Frost Metallic with red stripes and a black vinyl top is part of the "American Muscle" series by Auto World and was featured on the cover of Hemmings Motor News in July 2023. This limited edition model comes in a brand new box with real rubber tires and true-to-scale detailing, including steerable wheels, opening hood and doors, and a detailed interior, exterior, and engine compartment. Made of diecast metal with some plastic parts, it is an officially licensed product and comes in the manufacturer’s original unopened packaging. The model measures approximately 11 inches in length, 4 inches in width, and 3 inches in height. Fred Mandrick’s unrestored 1968 Oldsmobile 442 W30 Holiday Coupe is a rare 18,000-mile survivor, showcasing 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, complemented by signature red inner fenders and untouched factory details, preserving the authentic craftsmanship and unique quirks of 1960s production. This model captures not only the power and style of the original car but also its unrepeatable authenticity, making it a standout piece of American muscle car history.
