The most common football formation (proper football that is, rather than the rather odd American version), consisting of four defenders, four midfielders and two attackers. The goalkeeper is not generally mentioned in formation numbers. Every football fan can name a famous 4-4-2 team.

A high-performance Oldsmobile based on the Cutlass or F-85. Built every year from 1964 to 1980, then in 1985-87. In 1990-91, the Quad 442 was built as a performance package available on the Cutlass Calais.

Originally, the designation meant 4-speed, 4-barrel carburetor and 2 exhausts. From 1965 to 1967, it meant a 400 cubic-inch engine, four-speed transmission and two exhausts. In 1968, the 4-4-2 model became its own separate model, and due to the addition of an automatic transmission option, the designation no longer had its original meaning.

From 1974-1980, it became an appearance package on the Cutlass. From 1985-87, it meant a 4-speed automatic transmission, a 4-barrel carburetor and 2 exhausts.

For its last appearance, it meant a Quad-4 engine, 4 valves per cylinder and 2 camshafts.
