I searched Google but best I came up with were option codes for 1965 and later Olds. Can anyone help with this 64 plate? The car I'm looking at is not original but I'd like to know how it left the factory. Thanks!!

We can try.

10C = build date = third week of October 1963
3 = Oldsmobile
32 = Cutlass F-85
37 = Holiday Coupe (two-door hardtop)
BF = Fremont, California assembly plant
686 = Fisher Body sequence number at the Fremont plant
Paint codes R, R = upper and lower body colors, both Cashmere Beige
TRIM 968 = ?
A49 = front seat belts with retractors
B70 = instrument panel pad
B80 = roof drip molding

I don't know what the "A" after the two R's means, nor the 1-1 at the upper right, nor the 2995 below the paint codes. My decoder doesn't have a code for TRIM 968. The third character is somewhat difficult to read, but it looks like an "8" to me.

So your car IS a Cutlass. If it were simply a non-Cutlass F-85, the first two digits of that four digit code would be either 30, indicating F-85, or 31, indicating Deluxe F-85. Also, a dead giveaway that your car is a Cutlass is the fact that it's a hardtop (which I presume it is). All F-85 or F-85 Deluxe 2-doors that year were post cars.

 

Thanks. I couldn't find what trim 968 was either. I think 963 was for blue bucket seats? Interior has been redone but the original door cards are brown.

The options the car currently has on it are:
Power steering
Power brakes
Power windows (all 4!)
Power seat (broken, not moving)
AC (everything under hood missing)
Automatic trans
Center console, bucket seats

Sadly the engine and trans have been replaced, and the car repainted.

Yes, it is a hardtop coupe.

 

Yes, 963 would indicate blue vinyl interior. But that would seem an odd color choice to go with a beige (light brown) exterior color. I would expect some shade of brown interior as the car's doors indicate.

 

Sorry - I was just thinking, if 963 is a blue interior code, maybe 968 is for brown?

 

The 3rd digit in the ~'64-'65 body tag paint codes is for the wheels.


in this case A = "black", which would indicate full wheel covers

 

968 is saddle.

 

Which is basically light brown.

 

I didn't know this. Thanks.
