Question about 1964 Cutlass/Vista Cruiser Rear Bumper Interchange
I was contacted by someone needing a rear bumper for their 1964 Cutlass Wagon. In the back of my mind, I'm thinking I read somewhere that the rear bumper on the wagon for that year was the same as used on the 2 and 4 door cars. Can anybody help verify or correct my memory?

Olds parts book shows different part numbers for rear bumper between station wagon and regular F-85 (Cutlass).
I don't know what the difference was , but there had to be some difference for Olds to offer a different part number for station wagon only.
Group 7.831 Bar , rear bumper
64 F-85 exc S.W. ....................380834
64-65 F-85 S.W. ...................380835

Thank you for the replies. So it sounds like they're different, but if he can't find a wagon bumper and can live with the gas neck dip the 2 or 4 door car one will bolt up.

Justin, its hard to measure but here's some pictures. Yes, there does seem to be a slight difference, but I'm not sure if its intended or just the variation between bumpers. The first two are from 2 door hardtops, the third one is on a wagon. John

I actually made bumper fillers and installed the wagon bumper on my car. I was never happy with the results. I had to cut the opening for the gas filler too. My original bumper was very bent up so I settled. I sold the car in 1998. It was a loaded Cutlass Holiday coupe from Pasadena CA. I wish I still had it!!
