Donating 12 Bottles of Elvis Wine for the CLC Museum and Research Center Auction

I wanted to take something to the Grand National to auction off in support of the Cadillac LaSalle Club Museum and Research Center Fundraising, and thought perhaps some of my Elvis Wine Collection might be something fun that combines two of my passions. 

If you are going to the Grand National be sure and support me and others in placing your bids during the Reception Auction.

Also, be…

High output alternator

I read a post a while back about high output alternators has anyone gone through it or had a problems?

I am possible looking at 100-140 amp, I have two air pumps, dual batteries, and eventually a large stereo, plus the existing electrical system.

I am ready for one for my 63 Cadi, finally got the motor and trans in, and I would like some input.

Rear Wheel Bearing

About a year and a half back, I replaced the third member in my 63. At that time, I also had new wheel bearings pressed onto the axles. Right out of the box, the right bearing leaked like a sieve, the parts house replaced it under warranty. Unfortunately, I had to pay again to get it pressed on, but at least the bearing was replaced.

Yesterday, I was under the car flushing the brake fluid and noticed the backing plate on the right rear wheel at the bottom, was damp with oil at…

64 Eldorado

I finally was able to get some decent pictures of my 64 Eldorado and post them.  Between work and the weather I have not been able to get much done to the car.  I think I pretty much described it in earlier blogs but to cover things quickly the car is complete and has exceptionally nice trim.  The body is nice and straight except the hood and I have a hood for it.  Interior is all complete, has a nice dash pad, good glass and all the convertible parts are good including the header.  The conv…

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!

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…
