hi ,

been a while, had to make the trek to MS in the diesel, and while traveling, the injectors went out,, what a major expense, dealer want 7k to put in..  i saved about 4k doing them myself,, no easy chore for sure....but,, 

i did see a eldo convert burritz get up to about 120k, i was nodding off and didnt notice if it sold at that or was still bidding,, but it was sure a nice looking car,

a 62 convert got up to about 60+ i think,,, it also looked very nice,, i kinda like that low panel rear fin,, 

anyway, hope all is well,,

Did you get some pictures?  If so post and share.
Also, just a nitpick, but there is a 1963 Eldorado Biarritz, and a 1964 Fleetwood Eldorado but no such animal as a 64 Eldorado Biarritz. Your message references a 62 convertible... so it would be interesting to see what was there.

Shame on Mecum ... but it was and still is a common mistake to refer the 1964 Eldorado as the Biarritz.
Might want to check out this Help Page topic:
Eldorado Biarritz - Fleetwood Eldorado: What’s In a Name?

I agree with Tony on the fender skirts on a 64 Eldo's.(No offence meant to any owners of one)

The full fender skirt is the way to go, but I understand Cadillac's theory on them)

As for the continental kits, oh dear, you'd rather have a huge boil on ya scrotum. The late 50's Thunderbird get away with them.... just.

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 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…
