Got the F-85 Goin Again
Hello

New guy from Minnesota here. We've been draggin this old Cutlass around with us for the past 26 years, it just keeps following us around.

1964 Olds F-85/Cutlass Holiday Coupe



She's definitely a sweetheart

A very nice Sport Coupe.
The later wheels look pretty good on that car.

Yeah I'll get some more pics soon.

Pretty much all stock, except wheels and I put a console shifter in many years ago from a later Cutlass. Twenty years ago we rebuilt the suspension all the way around and all the steering mechanism and "A" frame bushings. Overhauled the engine at the same time.

Got a new paint job in 94, original color.

Just got it out of storage a week ago, it's been sleeping for over ten years. Like getting a new/old car again, drives like a dream.

Nice interior.

My 1965 Jetstar 1 had the same brown steering wheel with the gold carpets. Really different.

Not exactly sure anymore, maybe like a 77 or 78 Cutlass.
