Heavier than the ’61 model because of luxury add-ons, the 1964 Oldsmobile Starfire reached a not so light two tons of weight. But its lines were clean and assertive, and the subur nite housewives were attracted by features like Guide-Matic headlights that automatically dimmed when oncoming cars approached. Unlike the fifties’ cars, the fins where almost gone. By 1965, these features were completely absent.
The interior standard features included Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, bucket seats, safety padded dash, center console, tachometer, leather trim, power steering brakes, and windows. Its V8 has 345 bhp but the extra weight of the 1964 models made the car slower than the lighter 1961 Starfire.
