1965 f-85/f-85 deluxe hardtop?

Did oldsmobile ever build a '65 f-85 hardtop, I've only seen the f-85/f-85 deluxe as a 2 door post or 4 door. If there was one does anyone have a pic.
Also, did some f-85's have a different taillight panel with less chrome?
I have seen pics where it shows a chrome strip only from the center emblem to the left and right taillights, but i thought this might have been a modification by the owner.

Thanks for the help,
rob

Standard Catalog of Oldsmobile says 1965 F-85 2-doors were all Club Coupes or Sports Coupes- post body style. You had to step up to Cutlass to get a Holiday Coupe. 1966 F-85 Deluxes were available as a Holiday Coupe, then back to post coupes for 1968-later.

Standard F-85s had the simple tail panel trim you mention. Cutlasses and I think Deluxes got the big diecast chrome panel.

Not in '65, but in '66 Olds added the F-85 Deluxe 2-dr hardtop model to the F-85 lineup. So there was a 2nd 2-door hardtop in addition to the Cutlass Holiday Coupe.
