Help with 1964 Data Plate, first Olds

Hi all,
I just got my first Olds, a 1964 F-85 Vista Cruiser, 330 2 barrel.

Could some help with the trim code and accessories? I couldn't find 395 listed as a '64 trim code. I'm assuming red vinyl, but the interior is a mix of colors.

Thank you. - James

From the Jan 1965 Parts Book. Regal Red (maroon) for a Vista Cruiser Custom only. Note that the Vista Cruiser was released late in the 1964 model year. The on-line sources you are looking at didn't pick that up, which is a good reason not to believe everything you see on line.

By the way, your cowl tag shows two accessory codes, Group 1 G and K. G means power rear window. K means a split second seat. Note that on the Vista, the split second seat was included with the three row versions (body code 3065 or 3265). It was optional under RPO A66 on two row versions like yours (body code 3055 or 3255).

Thank you Joe. I've had Fords and a Chevy, but have always wanted a Vista Cruiser. I'm enjoying the car and getting into the Olds lore and details. Also amusing that my '64 Olds family wagon has a more sophisticated suspension setup than my '69 Mustang, though I love both.
