1/18 68 Olds Hurst 2 Door Post - MCACN

The very first Hurst/Olds appeared in 1968, and it was based on Oldsmobile's most popular high performance option, the 442. The Hurst part of the name referred to George Hurst, whose promotional fervor was luckily matched by the quality of his work. By the mid '60s, the former Philadelphia repair shop owner's name was on some of drag racing's wildest exhibition cars. He convinced Oldsmobile that offering a limited number of production cars would entice the public—and he was right. Only 515 of the 1968 full-size Hurst Olds muscle cars were manufactured, with just 162 left in existence today. No '68 muscle car looked more debonair or packed a larger V8 than the Hurst Olds.
