Trivia #34 - What % of 1963 & 1964 Cadillacs Came with Tinted Glass

Started by Jason Edge in Trivia 3 hours ago. 0 Replies

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.

Many thanks,
