Gentlemen,
As my paint job restoration continues, I am going to replace the carpet and carpet padding. Does a precut carpet for a Coupe De Ville fit a Convertible? Any recommendations for a vendor of precut interior loop carpet and carpet pad? Thanks. Mike

It has been 20 years since I replaced my carpet and when I did I took a small sample from under rear seat and took to my interior shop and they ordered from their sources. It was not perfect but has served me well.
I believe the coupe and convertible would be the same. The floor layout is basically the same although the rear seat is more narrow in the convertible due to the upper qtrs where the top folds down, but other than a slight difference at front edge of rear seat bottom there should be no difference in floor pan. Others with more current experience can confirm.
I will add that if you want to stay original the 1964 deVille came with cut pile. You can see the spec transcribed from the Spec Manuals to this Help Page --> Carpets Used in 1963 & 1964 Cadillacs
My '64 convertible got flooded the other week so I just ordered a new carpet. I ordered from OC Auto Carpets because they were on sale. They did say there might be a slight difference with the convertible carpet. I went and ordered an Eldorado carpet since they didn't have the deVille convertible option. Cut pile is on sale for $179.28 right now so if you're using that instead of loop pile, I'd say go order it soon. It comes with the padding. They will send you samples to check out. Very happy with their service.

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!

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…
