The front fender scripts are available from Fusick Automotive ;

The rest of the items will probably have to be found used or NOS .
E-Bay is the best source. Set up an E-Bay search titled " 1964 Oldsmobile "
and check it daily. Sooner or later everything will turn up, although it may take a few years.

- Looking for a door panel Starfire emblem, Tough find.
- Front fender Starfire scripts What Charlie said.
- and starbursts (x2) There are different part #s for convertible front fender and coupe roof stars. Convert attaches with studs and tinnerman nuts. Coupe has threaded studs.
- A nice rear panel (around the taillights) with "Oldsmobile" letters Unobtainium. Been looking for one for 30 years. Even nice used ones are often corroded around taillight openings, and the letters often fall off.
- The trim piece that surrounds the "T" shifter in the console Again, tough find. 64-66 consoles are the same but 65-66 have THM shift pattern.
- Lens for the map light Used on many big Olds 63-66 and I've seen similar on big Pontiacs.
- Both cornering lamp assys (complete) Does car already have them?

Are they the identical except for the way they mount? Same design and hole pattern?

Spacing is different between the mounting studs, John, and I think the convert pieces are actually larger than the coupe pieces. No, I don't know why Olds did that!
Wait'll you get into the different size exhaust pipes... should you want to put the factory style chambered exhaust back on it, https://sweetthundermi.com/ in Michigan has the chambered sections to weld into your headpipes. They used to show the Starfire appilcation but it's not in their online catalog; ask them and pretty sure they'll know what you're talking about. The front resonators are going to be the hard piece to find; rears are still fairly common.
