So ugly only a mother could love...

They were 1978-80 Cutlass Salon and Salon Brougham, very low production numbers... also known as a Fastback but there was nothing fast about them.

They were also used as a base model for the 78 and 79 442 (yes they made 442's in 79)
Most 442's were bastards with 305 Chevy engines and sometimes cane with a 4 speed manual or if you were lucky came with an Olds 260 with a Borg and Warner 5 speed.
