Thanks for the like Richard. I just watched my video again, and glad I recorded it on its 50th birthday! Makes you wonder where the Caddy will be at 75 and 100 years old? Hopefully at 75 I'll still be kicking and with it... 100 would be a stretch! I might be in the trunk! LOL
Thanks Michael. I like to tell people I've restored about 2/3's of this car, and probably want to go back and redo about 1/3 of the 2/3' I've already done. Bottom line, I have many years of restoration enjoyment to look forward to. Since I'm probably realistically several years from a Grand National with it, I'll keep picking away at the smaller items, and occasionally tackle the big stuff like the engine rebuild 2 years ago, and the Comfort Control system some time in the future. I'll hit the big 50 myself at the end of the year (like my Caddy did on March 19), so hopefully I have a few more years ahead of me to get 'er done!
Thanks Gunnar and a belated happy 50th birthday to your CDV! I think it is cool to know the "build date" of our cars and was chuffed that I could roll out the videos, newsletter feature, pictures, etc exactly 50 years to the day after my Caddy was built! The 63's and 64's have definitely stood the test of time in so many ways.

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…
