– In 1968 the 4-4-2 became its own model, still based on the Oldsmobile A-body midsize platform.
Lost three inches of wheelbase.
Gained shapely new sheetmetal.
The standard and Force Air induction engines sported an increased stroke and decreased bore (the opposite of general practice), their displacement and power ratings remained the same. The Force Air engine now had air intakes positioned under the bumpers while the Turnpike Cruiser engine was detuned slightly.
