Hey guys,
Has there been any recent movement or progress regarding an authenticity manual for our 63-64 cars?
Thanks and happy motoring!

Director of Technical Services (and Chief Judge) Bill Anderson stated he had a new person to head the 63/64 Cadillac Authenticity Manual at the 2019 (Feb) Winter Board meeting. I have not heard any new updates, including out our online Board Meeting on June 13.
Thanks Jason. I sure like that Beldon Blue 63 CDV on Hemmings. I've been watching it for some time now. My convertible is so original and with so few miles that I'm thinking I might want to sell it and get the CDV with AC. It's a fresh resto and if he's negotiable on price... Have you seen that car?
Take care and Happy July 4th!
Ken
I may have seen it if it has been posted for a while but don't recall it right now. Can you post a link?
Sure. Here it is. I'd be interested in your opinion. Many of the details that some restorers don't attend to have been addressed

Very nice, and nicely detailed. Anyone would be proud to own this car. It will be interesting to see what bidding goes up to?
I see the car is up th 38.5K wiith 2+ days left.
I saw it up to 40 something the last time I checked! That's impressive.
I've checked a number of value guides, but #1 1963 DeVilles top out at less than 35k. Bucket seats would help, but not much. No doubt there's much more money in it than that. The chrome bill alone on my last several restorations has exceeded 20k. Quality of the restoration and color will help. On my last trip to Kissimmee this January, the very well done resto mod early and mid 60's Cadillacs were selling for an astounding amount, but it appears that the original cars are just holding value.
Happy 4th,
Ken

Late in the evenings, I wonder about things I will probably never do as I am not that crazy. However, I know someone out there has tried it or wanted it bad enough they have done it. My 64 Fltwd did…Continue

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,

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
