1. 1985 White 442 w/gray interior (wish they made one for 1987)
2. Blue 442 w/blue interior
3. Black 442 w/gray interior
4. Grand National
5. All other 84-87 442 combos
6. 83-84 Hurst Olds
Honorable mention- 4 spd manual Malibu

I really love white g bodies and blue/blue 442's and cutlasses. I wish the 85-87 442s had lightning rods. I only like the H/O because of the shifters. I have a 1984 H/O but not a fan of the colors. I don't care to much for the maple interior nor the gray/black and red. But it's one of the rarest Olds out there, however I would give it up for 1985 White 442 with lightning rod shifter.

Honestly: a wagon. Let's say Malibu wagon.
I of course love the coupes, but if they were still making wagons I would drive one year-round, winter road salt be damned.
I've got a soft spot for station wagons, and if I'm gonna have something big to drive then I might as well make efficient use of all that size with more cargo room! I could even just steal the good suspension goodies off the Regal...

2nd place: Choo Choo Customs El Camino SS.

believe it or not, #1 is still a Grand Prix, even with all the problems with the Chief...
#2, Regal... got a love for Buicks for some reason, just don't know why, I was the first in the family to buy one....
#3 Cutlass... gotta be a console car though....
would take any of these in wagon form(for the pontiac, swap in Lemans or Bonnie for the GP)...

Since I own an elco, gotta say it's one of my favorites,dad had one as a shop truck for a while when I was a kid and I loved it. My first car was an 80 Malibu non Landau, loved it ! Would love to have another one ,then the wife and kids could all ride with me ,all four of us don't fit in the elco. Wouldn't mind a Malibu wagon either. So I guess for me, my favorite is the Malibu and it's off springs.
