1972 Oldsmobile Hurst Olds Indy Pace Car

When the 1972 Hurst/Olds paced that year's Indianapolis 500 it was the second time in three years that an Oldsmobile was chosen for the honor. Clearly marketed as a luxury intermediate, the H/O was advertised as "delivering true, all around performance through better engine response, handling, braking, driving comfort, styling, exclusivity and lasting value." Based upon the Cutlass Supreme, and available in hardtop or convertible versions, the '72 H/O featured Cameo White paint and Firefrost Gold reflective decals. A total of 629 Hurst/Olds were produced, including 499 hardtops and 130 convertibles.
