1967 Oldsmobile 4-4-2: Cutlass Supreme trim, W-30 for everyone
Multiple carburetors were gone, the 4-4-2 was trimmed as a Cutlass Supreme, and the W-30 cold-air package became a regular factory option on about 500 cars.
United States · researched through 2026-09-23
This record's own dek states that multiple carburetors were gone for 1967, the 4-4-2 was trimmed as a Cutlass Supreme, and the W-30 cold-air package became a regular factory option on about 500 cars. This record's own overview states that the 4-4-2 was offered on Cutlass Supreme sports coupe, Holiday coupe, and convertible bodies, that the Tri-Carb option was dropped under a GM rule reserving multiple carburetors for the Corvette, and that the W-30 outside-air package was now sold to all buyers but not on the convertible.1
This record's own overview states that the Over-Drive production table lists 25,333 4-4-2s, 4,880 sports coupes including 129 W-30, 17,373 Holiday coupes including 375 W-30, and 3,080 convertibles, with the article text separately giving 504 W-30 sales. This record's own overview also states that Cars magazine, October 1967, tested a W-30 4-4-2 hardtop with a close-ratio four-speed and 4.33 limited-slip axle at 0-60 mph in 6.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 14.10 seconds at 103 mph.2
This record's own key facts state that Oldsmobile's March 1967 price book lists the 4-4-2 as RPO L78, a $184.31 performance package for the Cutlass Supreme sports coupe, Holiday coupe, and convertible, with a G.T. stripe standard on 4-4-2 models, and that the same three bodies could instead take the $142.18 L66 Turnpike Cruising option with a 300-hp two-barrel 400. This record's own production notes state that the W-30 rows are subsets of the 4-4-2 body rows, and that the table's own 1967 4-4-2 factory prices are identical to its 1966 Cutlass prices and are therefore not used in this record.
This record's own conflicts section documents a disputed 1967 4-4-2 total, 25,333 against 24,833, with its own treatment showing both and stating the 500-car difference is unexplained. That same section documents a disputed W-30 count, 504 cars against 502 factory W-30 engines, with its own treatment noting cars and engines may be counted differently, neither figure traced to a factory ledger in the sources read.3
This record's own prices section documents a Cars test car at a $2,932.50 starting price before the 4-4-2 package and $4,369.45 as tested, alongside factory prices of $2,694 for the sports coupe, $2,831 for the Holiday coupe, and $3,026 for the convertible. This record's own engines section documents the standard 400 four-barrel at 350 hp and 440 lb-ft, an optional 400 two-barrel Turnpike Cruiser at 300 hp automatic-only, and the W-30 cold-air 400, documented with two ratings, 350 hp as printed in the Cars specification panel and 360 hp per a secondary source.2
Twenty-two exterior colors are documented for the year without production counts. This record's own specifications section documents a 115-inch wheelbase, a 204.2-inch overall length, weights from 3,452 lb shipping for the sports coupe to 3,736 lb curb for the convertible, and its own note that the power-teams page, revised December 9, 1966, gives a different standard three-speed and four-speed axle ratio than the general-specifications page, with both shown. This record's own performance section documents that same Cars test, and its identification section documents 4-4-2 body numbers 3807, 3817, and 3867, with the AMA supplement's own 33807, 33817, and 33867 designations for the same three bodies.4

Every figure is labeled with how sure we are. Reported means a manufacturer, registry, or reference figure we cite but have not reconciled against factory records ourselves. Disputed means credible sources disagree and both are shown. Rows are separately scoped; don't add them together unless the note says they make up a total.
