Hey, what's up. Greetings from the Great White North.
I am the proud owner of a 65 F85 Cutlass, 2 door Holiday Coupe, Canadian built. It's pretty much a survivor, all stock. 65k miles. Very basic car, manual drums all around, manual steering, Jetaway. 330 engine. Mojave mist color. In decent shape, driveable, made a few trips this past summer. I am new to Oldsmobiles, not new to the old car hobby, though.
It has a radiator with a small leak and will post a question about a suitable replacement in the General Discussions sections.
Nice to meet you all!

 

Welcome, nice clean looking car. Enjoy the forum.

Hi Bassinguy here with a very similar car. My is a 65 Cutlass post car with power drum brakes and manual steering 4 speed. I installed power steering on it so my wife would be able to drive the car a lot easier. Fun car to drive and not many on car show scene which I like, Good Luck with your ride, Bassinguy

 

Welcome to the site, nice ride.

 

Nice car! Don't replace the radiator. Have the original Harrison repaired.

 

welcome, where are you from? my neighbour fixes rads, has done a few for me

 

Thanks Stan. I'm in the Lower Mainland. May be impractical to ship a rad to the island to get fixed, but may get get back to you on that. I won't junk it, just looking to replace it with a non-leaking unit that potentially has margin to cool a larger engine in the future... We'll see.

 

Welcome to the group... Very clean looking 65...

 

Welcome. Saw that car when it was for sale in Ladner. Congrats & enjoy.

 

Interesting. I actually bought it in April this year from the guy who bought it in Ladner. He only had it for a few months and decided to sell.

 

Welcome to CO, nice '65, do not see many, almost gauranted to be only one at a car show. Have had my '65 since '75, best to repair what you have, stock radiator cools my 400 fine.

 

Congrats on your 65. Mine is also Canadian built.

 

If you go alumn. get the Chevy truck radiator on EBAY it fits. The 3 core will work but see if yours can be fixed first.

 

Thanks Gerald. Can you post a link to the Chevy truck radiator?

 

Great lookin 65! Welcome to the site!

 

If you don't want to chase leaks around in an old radiator, they can be "re-cored". I found that out when I took a '64 Olds Starfire radiator for repair. Yes, its expensive, but its like a new radiator. Just a thought.........
