Identify the year of this 442 by the chrome trim and wheel package?

Definitely a 66 with the side trim, the emblem towards the rear, and the taillights.

Definitely a 1966... You can't mistake the trim and body lines, very distinct for the year...

An F-85 4-4-2 wouldn't have the side trim, correct?

Correct, only the Cutlass models got the wide side trim in 1966. F-85 Deluxe models got the thinner trim along the rocker, and the base F-85 got none.
