Sammy Vaughn and his wife Diane of Daytona Beach, Florida recently shared their unique tale of this beautiful and beloved 4-4-2. It was in June of 1968 when Sammy first spotted this car sitting in a dealer lot in Greenville, SC, his hometown. It was love at first sight and a curse at the same time, he explained - a curse because it took him four years, working three jobs, just to afford it!

In November 1966 I ordered a new 1967 442 from “Rooster” Bush Pontiac – Olds, in Lenoir, NC. He gave me a choice, have it delivered or he would pay to fly me to Lansing, MI to pick it up on drive-out order. I got on the plane! It was gold, with black interior, close ratio 4-speed, and 3:90 posi-traction rearend. More than once I’ve dreamed that I stored the car in a warehouse, but can’t remember where it’s located! It was a great car that surprised more than one of my Ford and Chevy driving friends.
