Smile Hello from Iowa

Hey there everyone, thought I'd drop in and introduce my myself, I picked up my first oldsmobile just a few weeks back ,very solid ol 64' ,now just waiting for the warm weather to get here!
Love the site and all the great info in here,thanks everyone

1964 F85 Cutlass hardtop
78,000 miles
Automatic on the column with bucket seats
Black interior non a/c car
Original 4 Jet 4 barrel Carb
Engine looks to be painted gold color with original ultra high compression gold looking air cleaner with faded decals
Front numbers off engine,just about water pump read

Just working on deciphering numbers now.Great running car,the old man had one back in high school, he now ownes another one, thought it would be fitting to follow in his steps!! Great car! Love the looks of these 60's oldsmobile's!

Nice car. What is the interior like? Bucket seats, consul, or bench seat, auto trans? We all like details!
Well I went back and read the whole story, good score, Looking very nice.

I've seen few where they took the side chrome off, not sure why. I think it looks great with the chrome.

Hey thanks Rocket! Interior is in very nice shape, New carpet and headliner, black leather bucket seats are in beautiful shape, its a column shift, dash is in great shape,overall someone before me did a wonderful job! The only thing I will be changing is the dice door lock ***** and im in search for a factory shifter **** for an automatic on the column, its a big dice ****!! That's a no go for this guy! Lol, overall though, very nice, I'll get some more pictures up soon!! Beautiful car by the way rocket! The previous owner said he loved the look of it without the trim, so thats why he didnt put that 3/4 high trim Front to back moulding back on,nor the eyebrows and hood moulding. Either way, nice looking cars!

Welcome to the site. I can say I was born and educated in Iowa but left 35 years ago for warmer shores in the Carolinas. Enjoy your car and let's see more photos!
