I remember a Triumph Stag that I kept seeing around town when I was a teenager that had the plate 5NOT ....... I guess if that's what he thought of the car, it hadn't had a Rover V8 transplant!

Origin of the 442 name

A common misconception is that designation "442" referred to the displacement of the engine in cubic inches. The reality is that a 442 has never had a 442 cubic inch engine. Rather, the genesis for the name 4-4-2 came from the attributes of the 1964 model:

 

1964 (Original meaning)

4: Four Barrel Carburetion

4: Four On the Floor

2: Dual Exhausts

 

With the 4-4-2 moniker established, later editions did not officially follow any adherence to features stemming from the numerals "4-4-2". However, in some later model years, the features did informally match the 4-4-2 numerals, as described below.

 

1965 (First year of automatic and three speed manual transmission option on 442)

4: 400 Cubic Inch Displacement

4: Four Barrel Carburetion

2: Dual Exhaust

 

1968-71 Official name of car was 442

 

1972 Reverts to option package W29, with no direct connection between features and the numerals 442.

 

1985 to 1987 (Last of RWD 442s)

4: Four speed automatic

4: Four barrel carburetor

2: Dual exhaust

 

1990 and 1991 (FWD 442)

4: Four cylinders

4: Four valves

2: Two camshafts

i think the REAL 442's(you know, from back when emissions was a word unkown) would have evolved into the cutty supreme.... at least compared to the rest of the olds lineup.

You're limited to what, 7 characters? If so, here are some ideas...

 

94VERT - self explainatory

 

VINXCUT - Vin X Cutlass

 

CTLSPRM - "cutlass supreme" w/ the s serving dual roles...people might mistake it for Cutlass sperm though. :lol:
