Very nice, original cars that old here are usually just rust stains on the ground, please don't paint it.
Are you planning on returning the engine compartment to original looking? Be nice to have AC in AZ I would think, like having a heater here.
My leetle seester lives in Sierra Vista and they have lawns like your neighborhood. I would be careful of the gravel flying out of the neighbor's mower and hitting that original paint when they cut their grass.

Beautiful original car - wonderful condition! Yes, it looks to be a 'sea foam green" or something similar.
Any plans for any kind of restoration or just leave it as is for a fun weekend driver? Looks like nothing really needs do be done anyway...
If Texas keeps having these rotten droughts, i may seriously consider a yard like those to reduce my water bill by about 100 bucks a month...

First off, the color code is HH H... which in '65 Chevy colors, is Willow Green.. not sure if Oldsmobile called it something different... maybe Laurel Green? If someone knows, would appreciate an answer on that. Don't let the pictures fool you, the paint looks good down the sides, but the top of the trunk, roof, and rear quarter edges are pretty worn down to primer in spots. If we do paint it, it would be the original color. Secondly, yes I do plan on getting the A/C working again.. anyone have any parts? Lastly, our front yard was all overgrown ugly bushes when we moved in, I plucked all those out, and went to a cactus/desert landscaping... and have saved tons of money on water, plus I think it fits the environment...Not the easiest to plant though with all of those spines!
