"I should have. Sounds like you just need as a template and color doesn't matter? Do you need both rear seat and front? From memory they are the same front to back on body styles with the embossed crest."

CLC 2021 Grand National - Albuquerque, New Mexico at The Pyramid Marriott, Albuquerque, New Mexico
July 13, 2021 to July 17, 2021
Note that the Albuquerque, NM Grand National has been postponed to June 2023. See note from CLC President Glenn Brown below:This is the letter I didn’t want to have to write. The Board of Directors has decided it is best to reschedule the Albuquerque Grand National until a later date. I had hoped that we would be able to hold this year’s Grand National in Albuquerque with a few modest alterations. However, despite vaccination opportunities improving, and an optimistic outlook for moving past…See More

Data Books ?
Posted on March 5, 2013 at 8:22pm 7 Comments 0 Likes
I have downloaded the Data book. I new a guy a long time ago that had a 1963 Cadillac Data Book but it had upholstery samples and color chips. All the ones on ebay I have emailed the people and none contain this and neither does the download one. Can anyone tell me which book had the samples in it? The book he had looked like the one that you can download, I thought?
Thanks, Robert
Interior Heat pressed Crest

Does anyone know who offers the heat presser crest in the center armrest? I want to do the interior of my 63 convertible. Mine was redone in vinyl and I want to put it back to original. I am also considering redoing my coupe as well but want to do it correctly. Thanks, Robert

63 Trunk detail
Posted by Bob Pontius on April 8, 2021 at 3:07pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
Jason, I liked the detail and information you have provided. I would like to do mine similar to yours. Can you help? Do you have trunk material? OPGI is sending the trunk product for my 63 Fleetwood. But it does cover the entire trunk as yours was done. If you do not have can you give me a reference? Thanks!! Bob
Car lift and jack stands
Posted by Les Eastling on March 23, 2021 at 10:00am 4 Comments 0 Likes
I mentioned during the 63/64 chapter zoom meeting on 3/21 that we had installed a car lift in our garage. Someone asked what kind and I didn't have the info at hand, so here is a link to it and also a link to some tall jack stands we use to add more stability to the car and an additional safety factor. There is something about getting underneath one of these cars that makes me a little nervous! …
ContinueLeaky Freeze Plug
Posted by Lee Martin on March 22, 2021 at 12:49pm 7 Comments 0 Likes
Just developed a significant leak coming from a freeze plug right over the starter. Would this be considered a "cam plug" i.e. like Dorman 17616DS? Our cars have multiple sizes of plugs on engine block and I want to get the right one. Also, does anyone know how pricey this is for a shop to fix? Thanks!
