Part needed transmission dipstick

Hello, I am looking for a new dipstick for the transmission on my 64. The top broke off. Not the tube just the stick. If there is a new one that will work, any idea of what to buy. Of anyone have a used one to sell? Thanks for your help.. It's almost warm enough to bring the 64 out of winter hiding!

Looking for cadillac convertible. Just not a 63 or 64

Sorry to be off,topic but I would like to add a project to my garage. I think a 1960 convertible would fit the bill. One on a working mans budget. Hard to find here in Wisconsin so I figured maybe someone on this site can find my 64 a friend. Thanks

Looking for right hand manifold and 15"wheels

Hello, winter is here again and it's time to work on the 64 deville. Looking for 4 wheels in the se Wisconsin area that accept hubcaps and a good right hand exhaust manifold. The manifold can come from anywhere. Shipping should not be too painful. I did find some wheels for $50 each locally but I am not sure if it is a good price. Thanks for your help

Turn signal switch

Looking for a source for a turn signal switch. I piggybacked the front signals off the rears because they did not work but am setting up to tow a vintage camper and would like the signals to work correctly. I cannot find a source to replace or repair the switch I have. Thanks in advance

Vintage Air AC

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!

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…
