That hood is one of the best to come out of General Motors.

&quot;Hood&quot;.........I believe them to be one of the best all around Muscle Cars ever produced in the Era [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Next to 70-73 Formula hoods, these are my fav' factory scooped hoods also I prefer the '70 only style w/ flat bottom leading edge.
Not correct for '69 but the '70 only hood fits the '69 cars by swapping the middle 'headbanger' piece and look great also most don't know the difference anyway.

I'm kinda a fan of the bumper-induction system, but it's hard to fault the styling of the '70 hood, especially since Oldsmobile offered several contrasting colors for the stripes. Chevrolet didn't offer many stripes in comparison, with only two or three colors for most years.

I used to joke about the intakes under the bumper on my 69' -- would suck up leaves, rocks and small animals.

Little Kids too [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] suck them right into the bumper.

3 awesome cars!!!

Re: 1970 Olds W-30 Trifecta
 

Beautiful W-machines! Thanks for sharing the great photographs of such cool cars. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] I believe this one at RK motors is the old car of a friend of mine. The car was originally from Oregon. It now has been completely restored. This was a rare 4spd W-30 car with the shifter coming directly out of the floor with no console. The 1970 -1972 Olds 442 W-30s are one of the most beautiful cars GM ever produced IMHO. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

I'd have to agree with HO455 on the beauty of the style lines on the 70-72 Oldsmobile's.

Man... I laughed when I read that. I've been helping my friend work on his '70 Cutlass Supreme and I've lost count of the number of times I've smacked my head off of that %#$@ thing!!
