The differences between it and a F85 Deluxe and the Cutlass are many. The F-85 is devoid of the side chrome and wheel arch chrome that adorns the Cutlass. The large chrome panel between the tail lights on a Cutlass is just two bars and an emblem on an F-85. The long center trim on the hood of a Cutlass is just a short piece on the F-85. The only standard options on a V-8 Club Coupe were Heavy-Duty Vinyl Floor Covering, a 250 hp Jetfire engine, and 7.35 x 14 Blackwall tires. The dash was plastic instead of padded vinyl, a bench seat was mandatory, and the interior was lower end vinyl. Small arm rests in front with color keyed bases and no arm rests in the rear. Window crank handles have color keyed knobs. The mirror bracket was painted silver, the steering wheel was a plain two spoke piece, and the sun visors were covered in cheap material that dont lock into the rearview mirror. If you were buying this car you typically didnt add many options, you wanted a cheap Oldsmobile.
However, almost all the options on a Cutlass could be had on a Standard F-85. Chrome options included the H code upper body moldings, the door sills/door frames/drip rail moldings and the F-85 only wheel lip/rocker/rear end moldings. You could also order a padded dash, floor carpeting, chrome arm rest bases, deluxe window cranks, deluxe steering wheel etc. One could buy the cheapest body and price it out with many options. So not all Club Coupes will have the base pieces.
The most expensive option available was the 4-4-2 Performance Package. It cost 190.45 on the F-85 Coupe, more expensive than when ordered on the Cutlass. Only parts that changed were those offered with the package, so when ordered you received the lightest and cheapest 4-4-2 made in 1965.
