My high school ride was almost identical to this one except it was as dark blue with a cream vinyl roof. It had a 4 SPEED HYDRAMATIC transmission in it, with a really low first gear. As a high school kid it was always interesting to say that my ride was loaded with a "429 4 barrel, 4 speed" before saying exactly what the car was. Usually my statement brought up visions of a high performance Ford instead of a Caddy! It's easy to tell the transmissions apart; the 3 speed THM uses electric kick-down switch, the Four Speed HydraMatic used the TV Rod. Good luck with your new ride - I'll subscribe and follow your progress.
That "door bumper trim" wasn't an option. Side trim on Cadillacs from this era depended on what model you had. Fleetwoods had rocker trim along the bottom of the car but no side rub strips like the Series 62 cars. One option your car doesn't have is the vinyl roof. Also when you say "dealer option" I think you mean factory option. Dealer-installed options were generally minor items like tissue dispensers, door edge guards and seat covers.

Sweet Cadillac and in great shape! Can't wait to see it shined up and some whitewall tires!
A worthwhile project, best of luck.
Made back when Cadillac was really 'The Standard of the World,' as stated in their very early advertisements.
Hell yeah brother

Nice, I know my 63 cadillac 62 series had a 4spd hydramatic. Dark blue with a cream vinyl top just imagining that looks awesome
So, this car was only *10 years old* when it was parked in 1974!
All Cadillacs are cool. The 1964 was a good year! Take your time. That Cadillac can be saved.
I’d love to have. Some day
Great video I would love to have that car
I had one just like this but gold with a vinyl top,no rust . I needed an engine for an 82 lynx so i sold it,wish i had it back.
I love to see old classic, beautifully designed cars get refurnished and look and operate like new, but I imagine it is an expensive process.
That is beautiful
Vacuum door and trunk release. Many opportunities for vacuum leaks .
What about trying starter fluid?
Tried after filming ended, did not work as there is still an ignition issue, which will be covered in episode 2!
GET A TRIPOD.....DAMN!!!!
Get some bitches damn
Sweet !😊
