Hurst Pillows
Description: The 1969 Hurst/Olds is proof that even the most conservative manufacturers could go wild in the muscle car era. As high-performance raced into the late '60s, the idea of a mad scientist conjuring up ever-more-potent 442s seemed almost reasonable, and Olds advertising was rife with the image of Dr. Oldsmobile with his lab coat and mustache. The Hurst/Olds model was no longer a low-key affair as bold "Firefrost Gold" striping now accented its white paint. On the hood was a flamboyant dual-snout scoop more efficient at feeding the engine than the under-bumper Force-Air inlets on other 4-4-2s. And the decklid held an enormous airfoil that furnished 64 pounds of downforce at 120 mph. This design is based on swinging '60s style promotional art.
