The interior is probably one of the nicest you will ever see .... like showroom new.

The only flaw, a small worn spot on the LH bucket seat piping.

Door service sticker (1987 ~ 41025 miles).

Optional Custom Sport Wheel is amazing. The simulated wood grain is very strong, zero light areas as well as the 6 dove tail joints.

This car was built with no seat belts. Seat belt “Delete” equals $11.00 credit.

Cordelia had ‘64 vintage seat belts installed early on.

PS, The vintage toy tiger setting on the rear package tray is still in it’s spot.

Everything works as it should.

Power antenna extends out to around 51 inches. Actually I don’t recall as it’s been over 5 years since I activated it. I know it may not clear some low bridges.

The Rally Clock and Door Edge Guards most likely were installed at the dealer as they are not on the PHS or W/S.

Oh, by the way ..... the old smell of the 60’s Pontiac morrokide engulfs you when you open the door. What a Great smell.

Original Window Sticker copy.
The actual W/S could not be found, but John had this copy in Cordelia’s paperwork.

Data Plate.
11A = first week of Nov. 1964
BAL = Baltimore built (a Chevrolet controlled plant)
213 = Black interior
Y6 = Mayfair Maize (lower body) ~ Black Cordova (upper body)

This Y6 can be confusing.

Cordova tops in the “1965” Tempest Series cars were only offered in Black or Beige.
Other years used a different Vinyl code and or color.

The ‘65 upper body in Black vinyl is signified with a “6” from the BAL plant.
The ‘65 upper body in Black vinyl at the other plants used the number “2” code.

To make things more confusing my PHS “Car Billing History Card” shows the typical Y2A = Mayfair Maize / Black / A, Black wheels.

I found a treasure about three years ago when I removed the rear lower cushion.
Stuffed in the spring was a very important paper.
It matches up to the Data Plate and offers more information on the options.

All the dates (green circles) throughout this car, shown on ‘64 calendar range from Aug. 8, 1964 through Sept. 17, 1964.

This car was in the “Strike Zone”.

Cool Stuff.

What an amazing car & story. It looks like the same garage in the old photo as the modern photo!

Unreal! Why can’t I find a ‘65 Olds like that?!? Congrats on the find and the patience it took to obtain such a fine specimen.
