1965 Oldsmobile F-85

For 1965, the Oldsmobile F-85 was given a few updates to its styling. The big news came mid-season, with the introduction of the 4-4-2 package (which represented 4-speed, 4 barrel carburetor and dual exhausts). The 442 engine was a special Rocket V8 with its own block, pistons, exhaust manifolds, and heavy-duty cooling. The package also included a heavy-duty suspension, wider tires and wheels, heavy-duty engine mounts, heavy-duty steering gear, heavy-duty frame, and a special rear axle and driveshaft. The F-85 came equipped with either V-6 or V-8 engines and had several body styles to select from, including a 2-door club coupe, station wagon, and sedan. The F-85 was available as Standard, Deluxe, and Cutlass. The Cutlass models were available as a Sports Coupe, Holiday Hardtop, or Convertible.

The F-85 came equipped with a heater/defroster, self-adjusting brakes, dual sun visors, oil filter, electric windshield wipers, seat belts in the front, and an aluminized muffler. The Deluxe and Cutlass models were given a Deluxe steering wheel, padded dash, and carpeting.

The V-6, overhead valve engine displaced 225 cubic-inches and offered 155 horsepower. The standard V8, overhead valve engine was rated at 250 horsepower. Transmission choices ranged from either a Jetaway automatic, to a three-speed manual or a close-ratio, fully-synchronized, four-speed manual.
The Oldsmobile 4-4-2 was the company's counterpart to the Pontiac GTO in the evolving muscle car market. During these early years, it was not a separate model yet, but an option package on the Cutlass two-door models. The 4-4-2 (along with the items already mentioned) had an 11-inch clutch, a 70-amp battery, and special badges.
