Thanks for the kind words Tony. I was surprised for sure. My car is no trailer queen. With the help of this great website I work on it myself. I try to keep it as original as possible but have made some modern improvements for drivability (which were pointed out in judging). Nevertheless, everything works. I guess it's good enough  : )

Thanks Jason. Granddaddy would be proud. He knew I loved his car and would take good care of it. That's why he gave it to me back when I was 20.

This is my grandparents hopping into the Caddy to go to their 50th wedding anniversary party in the early 70's

Hey Kurt, Congrats on the well deserved recognition of a mighty fine 1963 Coupe de Ville. It was great to check out your Caddy and have you up to our Chapter Meet-Up. That is one incredible interior on that car and hope you don't mind if I share a few pictures below. I have also loaded a lot more to our Facebook Page in a photo album with the six 1963/64's at the GN. You can see the album by Clicking Here.

Here's a few of my favorites:

1st up is you and the 63 in matching outfits!

And what about that incredible interior!


And it was nice to hang out for a while during our Chapter Meet-Up

When I got home from work just now, there was a package on my doorstep. I thought "what is this? I am not expecting anything, mis-delivery?" No, my name is on the label. To my pleasant surprise, my car won 2nd place in the Grand National! I did not attend the awards banquet so I didn't know about this. It was my 1st Grand National so I really didn't know what to expect. I had a great time & met some great people (Jason, for one) and recommend attending to everyone. Next time I will take time off from work (If still working) and attend more events.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

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 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

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

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…
