"1963 Oldsmobile F-85 Deluxe" - Refresh & Build Begins...

Thanks Joe! You have an awesome day as well!

 

X2 on Joe's comment. Looks like it's just a great car. Bet you could hop in it tomorrow and it'd take you anywhere you wanted to go. And you don't see it everywhere, but everyone that does knows its clean and cool.

 

Thanks Lucas! Yeah me and my wife put about 60 Miles on it Saturday Night. Yeah it ran very well, lots of Torque.

 

Went on eBay and found a nice 1961 Oldsmobile F-85 Standard Steering Wheel in a brown color to match my dash and found a Horn Button Assembly on Auto Parts Obsolete in a pewter color to match my lower dash, door panels and seats. The small steering wheel assembly that I had installed was a workout when driving and turning due to the car not having P/S. Plus the aftermarket steering wheel assembly did not have the roll pin option on it to cut the turn signals off after turning and this one does like the factory intended it too.

 

Now that was what they called futuristic back in the day for sure
Looks awesome Pat.

 

Thanks Joe! The George Jetson look.

 

Well I have changed my Steering Wheel Assembly once again, the Original Steering Wheel as well as the last 2 that I have put on I sold on eBay.

This one I got Custom Made from a Company on-line called CON2R. I used a Polished Hub with a 2" Polished Spacer.

I also put in a Bench Seat Console.

 

That's a cool looking wheel for sure.
Never seen one like that

 

Cool looking wheel. Obviously it was your choice, but I would not have sold the original.

 

Thanks Joe!

Thanks Brian!

 

I put on a new Polished Aluminum Flat Top Air Cleaner Lid. The Chrome Domed one that I had on there was touching the bottom of the hood.

 

Found and put in some NOS Oldsmobile Factory Period Correct Floor Mats.

 

I painted all of my Stock Wheels Satin Black and put a set of correct NOS 1963 Oldsmobile F-85 - Cutlass and Jetfire Poverty / Dog Dish Hubcaps on it without any Trim Rings / Beauty Bands.

I have debated if I should black out the white walls or not. Please let me know your thoughts...

 

Whitewalls
Yes perfect with car color
Looks great.
Makes it pop
If you did blackwall NO pop

 

Thanks Joe! Hey, send me some Pics of that sweet Pontiac you just got.

 

VERY NICE !

 

Thanks James!

 

Dang Pat,
I must’ve been sleeping under a rock because I never saw this post before. What a beautiful car! The work you have done, and the additions you have added to it make it sparkle. I’ll have to stop by and check it out in person this summer. I hope you and your family are doing great! Have an awesome day Pat!!!

 

Hey John! I hope that you, your family and your Buicks have been doing well! You know that you are welcome here anytime! The family is doing well and my daughter gave me and my wife our 2nd grandchild on December 20th, 2021. His name is Adrian Alexander Barahona. See you soon my friend!
