I agree. 1965 the Savoy was no longer and the Belvedere I took it's place.This is just speculation, Ma Mopar wanted just a bit more bling defining it up scale from the Savoy.

I appreciate all the feed back and You guys chiming in. Been thinking - was there just a Belvedere that could have been ordered. One without a I or II behind the name. Again Thxs. You guys Post Cars look Awesome.
Honest I can't say. My favorite saying is "Never say Never when it comes to Ma Mopar"
Cars have been built that many say never where.

Do I see a Post Car door and window frame on a hardtop car? I'm pretty ignorant to the race stuff. Did they put those on to add rigidity?

well they did away with that heavy glass and did lexan windows w/o vent windows , i believe i've got a bud here in sj with a 64 bel with the same deal , alum u channel wraps around the area and filled with plastic windows , he turned it into a straight axle street/strip gasser . his doors where but just a sheet metal wrap with a skin , like something i did to a 66 sat 383 4spd commando car as a kid in high school . wow i guess we don't change must , lol .
The 64 Savoy that I’m redoing right now has side trim just like the 65 Bel 1. I was told that it was optional on the 64, but I don’t have anything to prove it. Pretty sure that I’m going to fill in the holes, haven’t made up my mind yet.

I’m glad mine doesn’t have all the trim I think it’s a cleaner look
But I’ve loved these early B bodies no matter what trim level

Thank you Sir, I can’t take credit for the work as I bought it as is (except the wheels) I believe these were the first real muscle cars even though they were never thought of as such.

Friend had a crossram and it was blue. I liked and copied it, contrast looked good to me.
Edit: Just saw JP's post
