A Brit who is now a Yank
Hello all. I am an ex-British Firefighter (27yrs) and I moved to the USA in 2007 to marry my American wife. I have always wanted to own a classic car and when I went to look at the Cutlass I just fell in love with it. So I will be asking lots of questions and looking for lots of parts.

Your first post is not correct, but your second post is. Being a 4-door, your F-85 is not a Cutlass. It is either an F-85 4-door sedan or an F-85 Deluxe 4-door sedan. In 1964, all Cutlasses were two-doors (post, hardtop, or convertible). Post the car's VIN and a photo of the body cowl tag (under the hood on the driver's side firewall). We can tell more about your car from those. If your car is an F-85, the VIN will start 804. If it is an F-85 Deluxe, it will start 814. The "8" means an 8-cylinder engine, and the "4" indicates model year 1964. Following these three numbers will be a letter designating the plant of manufacture followed by six digits indicating the production sequence number at that plant. VIN's back in those days didn't indicate much more than you could tell by just looking at the car, but it will confirm which F-85 4-door you have.
