1965 Post 442 production:

1087 F85's
5713 Cutlasses

That's from the Olds FAQ; not sure what the original source was.

I think that they can be either???

Can be either. F85 and Cutlass were trim levels with F85 being the base and Cutlass the upgrade. The 442 was an option package that could be ordered on any 2 door F85 or Cutlass and included the bigger engine, suspension, and badging.

This only goes for 65-67; other years the rules were different. Read all about it- http://oldsjunction.classicoldsmobil...sfaq/of442.htm

All 2 Door sedans are supposed to be lighter than their hardtop brothers..
