Video of the Day: In-period road test of 1971 Olds 442

Bud Lindemann and his team put the W-30 through its paces

-

Last week we stumbled across some of the old Car and Track video road tests done back in the day at Grattan Raceway in western Michigan by Bud Lindemann and his team. 

Although the video quality isn’t the high-def we’re used to these days, it shows how cars were tested when they were brand new in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The Video today is a Lindemann team road test of a 1971 Oldsmobile 442.
