Jason I think where you see the radio is where it goes on RHD conversions. there was also a white convertable RHD which I think I took pics of so will post them for comparison.
I see aftermarket radio...is this wherre one with an original would have been installed. I"m not sure what I'm seeing where the original cutouts whould have been?
Cees - yes aussie - show was at Hanging Rock, Victoria. you can see some old Aussie holdens in some of the pictures
thanks all. I have seen the pink caddy at a few shows. I think I have more pics of it so will post. Russ, I cant answer that but next time I see it I will let you know. I already know the owner. Looking under the bonnet is totally alien to the left hand drive. everything has been essetially butchered. Whilst this conversion is professional it does not look right for want of a better word.
It looks like a street where all the trees have been lopped - neat and tidy but not what I am used to seeing!
also they have retro fitted an air conditioning control out of a HJ Holden which apparently works but of course does not look right.
Jason I will get more pics of under the bonnet for you next time I see hiim out and about. where you see the radio, ignition key, AC controls, this is all where an Aussie Holden of the time would have them placed. the only thing that is still reversed is the gear selector.
Very Cool. I see the Elvis Wankel in the Pink Caddy.
It would be interesting to see steering gear box, trans gear shift and steering linkage, firewall layout, etc, It looks like the core chrome instrument cluster bezel is the same but speedo unit and fuel/temp cluster have swapped positions so the speedo is under the steering wheel.The lower unit looks like an after market radio went in where the AC controls wouuld have been and not sure what I'm seeing in the original radio position. On bottom the wiper switch and ignition switch move with same relative position leaving the ignition switch at the far right outside of dash that seems odd...on in that we are use to keying toward the middle to crank the car.

There appears to be some kind of felt washer around the top of my oil dipstick, presumable to seal off the dipstick tube. I've looked around the usual parts suppliers but came up empty. There's not…Continue

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?

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

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…
