First classic Oldsmobile... Newbie
#2
Welcome. Very nice car and I love the color. Thanks for posting the pictures. We all love pictures around here. There are lots of good folks here who are glad to help. You will enjoy it here. 1964 was the year I graduated from high school.

On what? The car looks gorgeous. What does it need other than the occasional wash and wax? For $9K, I'd expect it to need pretty much nothing.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome...
You guys requested more pics, so here you go ... I got the bumper sticker as a welcome to the family present ... Once again, thank you for all the warm welcomes ... I plan on being part of this form for quite a while

Great choice. Car looks amazingly original. Where else could you spend $9000 that would draw this much attention and give you a good comfortable ride.
Tell us where you live if you don't mind,and we probably have other members near.

Thrilled to be in this group
I am excited to learn more about my new Oldsmobile... I am from Lebanon Missouri... The first question, where is the best place to find original Oldsmobile hubcaps for my new ride?
#22
You have the original caps - I still have mine as well but opted for something a little more glamerous with the spinners. I also had a Goldwater '64 bumper sticker in my trunk when I bought mine.
Looks complete but I'm not sure what the valve is on the hose, possibly going to the heater box? Do you have your BP and VIN information?
And uber jealous for those chrome rockers!

BTW, like the "cat eyes" on the headlights!

Underhood photos-
The ball valve in the heater hose is -NOT- from the factory. Wonder why it was installed? You might ask the previous owner.
PCV system is not connected. The should be a PCV valve in the cover and hose conneceted to it that runs to the carb or air cleaner.

The telltale sign of a 2bbl 394. Does it still have the points? Or changed over to electronic ignition? Honestly I wouldn't do too much to that air cleaner. Not sure you'd ever find another metal stencil. Besides, it's only original once. But it is your car and far be it from me to ever suggest what you should do with your property. I'd be hitting Hwy 5 to Lake of the Ozarks every chance I could get!
Previous owner had a real passion for blue: valve covers, oil fill cap and radiator hose ball connection that I can see. Curious: is the bottle of washer fluid still in place behind the passenger headlights?

First thing
It's funny you mention all the blue in the engine... I hated it as soon as I seen it... Believe me it's all going back to normal when I get it first thing... And yes it does still have the glass overflow bottle

Hubcap and VIN
Here is the VIN for those with the capability of doing research... All input would be appreciated... Also, having a hard time locating information on original hubcaps for this car... All help would be thankful

Fusick Automotive has brand new "Rocket " air cleaner plates ;

Midnight Mist I believe. Same color as my 63 thou it looks brighter in the pictures. Could just be the lighting. The picture of my hub caps above are not the factory ones. The stock set (I still have) are similar design but are a full cap.

Your picture is what was found on the F85/Cutlass setup. Your wheels should be 14".
That VIN:
8=8 cyl
4=Dynamic 88
4=1964
M=Lansing build
244952 production number
Total Dynamic 88 production was 167,674 units. Your Holiday hardtop is one of 32,369 built.
More interesting information comes from your body plate. Can you provide a photo of that? We're dying to know that color code. If the paint is original color, the code would be WW with a trim code of 997V, 977V or 317V.
