Foreigner lead singer Lou Gramm sang the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit, “I Want to Know What Love Is.” Could this Oldsmobile 442 that he once owned show you what love is?

I would venture to guess that if you told someone that this car was once owned by Lou Gramm, they would respond with a rousing "Who?"
This 442 is missing the 2nd 4 - speed manual transmission? Knockoff?
In reply to CoupArrr :
Missing the second "4"?
This has an automatic, most likely a three-speed, if it remained true to stock form.
In reply to J.A. Ackley :
442. 4 barrel, 4 speed manual transmission and dual exhaust.
In reply to CoupArrr :
Ahh, yes! Sorry, long day.
It's a 4 - 3* - 2 .
. The asterisk is for the auto.
