Tin primary says it's earlier than '65. Those bags, if bought with the bike should narrow the year model down as they were offered only a couple years, but I can't remember what years.

Too bad you don't have a couple of more close-ups; it would narrow it down. The white bags were first used in 1959 but could be retrofitted to 1958 models. Ironhead got it right, it is definitely a Duo-Glide. 1958 was the first year the Motor Complany offered the swing arm frame (which from the pics is easy to tell). Would need better pics to tell a lot more (tank emblem pics could really be a help), but I thing you can narrow to a 58-64 year and definitely an FL or an FLH.

It is a duo glide. With the non stock tank and no emblems (on the tanks) it is impossible to tell. I had a 59. It could be an early 60's like your dad says.
