The hood is the same for all 64 Olds Cutlass/F85/Vistas body styles.

Are the 64 & 65 rear doors of a Vista the same as a 4dr sedan? I thought they were longer by several inches. The flat top wagon doors may be the same but the Vista I thought was different. Or maybe it is 66 & 67. Or maybe I am just wrong.
I just looked up some pictures, the rear doors are longer.

What I understood from Oldstata statement regarding four doors being the same meant that a four door sedan had the same front sheet metal as the VC or 2dr cars.

And all years of Vista Cruiser all had longer rear doors due to the longer wheel base on the VC.

AH HA, As usual I didn't get the true meaning.
Thanks Henry,

Just to clarify, the front sheetmetal on ALL 1964 Cutlii family cars are the same from the firewall forward. In addition, the FRONT doors are the same for all four door sedans, flattop wagons, and VCs. The Vista has an extra 5" of wheelbase as compared to other 64s (120" vs. 115"), and all of this length difference is in the back doors, which are 5" longer than those on flattop wagons.

Also 64-65 doors interchange and 66-67 doors interchange within the same body styles.
