I have the CDV  63.    

i have looked but dont see many pictures of a passenger side rear view mirror..  was that a standard item?  personally, i find the driver side one hard to see out of due to the window pillar and if he vent wdw is open its almost useless...with all the vertical pieces.. 

bu, back tot he passenger side..i would assume it would go in same appx spot as the driver, if it came with one, correct....

i think i have seen some of the older impalas et were it was located up about half way along the hood near about over the tire,,, it seemed a logical place,,, but i was looking for one if they were used then,, and were the actual placing should be,,  i like to be able to see along that side,, 

sincerely

It was an option for the passenger mirror. Not a lot of them got it. Opgi sells them new though. Try spinning you side mirror down and in not up and out. If you look at dealer pictures that's how its installed. Jason pointed that out to me and its easier to see. It doesn't look right and you wonder why they designed it like that but it seems the proper way to do it.

spinning the mirror helped a lot,, its just sort of cluttered with post and glass and stuff, made it hard to see with the vent open,

thanks for the info

The RH mirror was a dealer installed option that saw there way onto very small % of 1963 and 1964 Cadillacs, but I think they give the car a nice balance. It is referenced in the 1964 Cadillac Accessories Manual on page 5. This accessories manual accompanied your owner's manual and usually found in the owners manual pouch in the glove box.  If you want to learn a lot about your car, you would be surprised how much information is in the owner's manual and Cadillac Accessories manual. If your are missing either of these documents I have them for sale at a reasonable price.

Back to the dealer installed and optional right hand mirror, we have 2 Help Page topics that you might want to check out:

- Mirrors: Example Pictures & Illustrations 
- Mirrors: Installation Holes for RH Mirror

Wouldn't be without one here.

Parked up at the kerb, with a car behind me, the passenger mirror is all I have to see what's coming.

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC  accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year ,  There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A    What  is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns. 

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
