Molding on bumper and chrome detail on hood (over the headlights) in 63, 64 and 65. Opinions to narrow down the year![]() |

Even though I can't see the front i'm pretty sure it has side by side headlights, so I think a 63 or 64 model. 65 Series 75's still had that body style, but they had the stacked headlights right? |

Should be specifically identifiable by the wheelcovers but I don't have my resource books with me. They do not look like '64's to me. (We used to own one) |

Did some internet checking. Those are '65 wheel covers. |

1965 Series 75 still had the old quad headlights: http://www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_txt/Phocad65.htm |

Yeah, this is one of those oddballs, the 1965 series 75 is effectively a leftover 1964 design for whatever reason. With new hubcaps. |

It does have the '65 hub caps but it seems to be missing the factory dual ring white walls that all '65s had. |

Well after 7 years, the original tires would likely have been replaced. |

That is true, I didn't think about the year the pic was taken. |

It is a 1964, see link. The only year that looked like a hoot owl from the front facial. http://www.motorbase.com/picture/by-id/1286848562 |

The one in your link, Carrnutt, is a '64. Note the wheel covers. The subject photo is a '65, however, based on its slightly different wheel covers. While the commercial vehicle line in '65 adopted the new-for-'65 styling, the limo line did not and retained the '64 look in full except for the adoption of the '65 style wheel covers.
