Dustin Trejo's 1987 Oldsmobile 442
This is a photo album of my 1987 Olds 442. It is one of 4208 442's produced in 1987. This was also the last year for the  RWD 442. I bought the car in August of 1996, and the car has undergone many projects since then. It is burgundy and silver and features the not-so common power moonroof. The car had 90,000 miles on it in 1996, and at the end of 2002 it will be at approximately 96,500 miles. Also, in 2003 I will be replacing the wheels with another set of stock 15x7 gold 442 rims.
Heres my car on August 30, 1996. This is the day it went into the paint shop. If you were to look closely at the hood and roof, you would notice the paints texture. This is the paint cracking, or spiderwebbing. GM's Dark red metallic paint was famous for this.Also, the striping was looking tattered. I have a better picture of the hood in my archives, that I hope to add here, as this pic isn't the best representation of it.
Here it is in 1998 at the annual all-Olds show at Renner Olds in Wawautosa WI(Its twin is parked next to it). It took 3rd place in its class. It was a pleasant, breezy 95 degrees that day! At this point, the car had a single outlet exhaust (it was like that when I bought it), and it still had its original body-side moldings
This is the only professional photo taken of my car. It was taken 5 years after I got the car. Its amazing to see that paint on the car now and remember;what it looked like in '96. The upper stripes were a personal touch that adds a little personality and seem to be a real hit at car shows! In 2001 I finally replaced them wornout body-side moldings.
Here are the 442 twins at the 2000 Fathers Day car show at Swan City park in Beaver Dam WI. The twins placed 3rd(my buddies) and 4th (mine) respectively.The single outlet exhaust was replaced with the 442 dual exhaust in 1999
