1963%20control%20code%20list.jpg

Jason, 

I was very interested in your article on "Dino". A well documented vehicle is a great project and achievement. Your comment on the outlet codes is the reason for this post.

I had been researching my 1963 62 Series Convertible and because the original owner protection plan listed the Cadillac Owner's Identification and the Selling Dealer as Cadillac Motor Car Division I was curious. When I requested an information from the GM Archives, I included this information. When I received the response it confirmed the fact that it was a factory executive's car. The Outlet code for my car is 943040, Cars in Co. Use for M.E. Fields, as shown on the attached list. I do not know if there are more codes than what I received but additional information may be available in the GM Archives. I hope this helps anyone else researching their car. Enjoy!

So here is a little information from inside GM.  There is and has been a program in GM where an employee of a certain level was assigned a current production vehicle to drive and evaluate.  I was part of this program while employed at GM.  It was called the PEP program which stood for Production Evaluation Program.  The amount of time that you drove the vehicle varies between 3 and 6 months and those vehicles were then sold as used cars either to dealers or on the open market.  It sounds like your vehicle was part of this program back in the day.  

Patrick,

I knew that it would take someone that worked for GM in the past to add some explanation of the auto's use. M.E. Fields was the assistant sales manager for the Central Region. I am currently in communications with someone who knew this gentleman. I will keep you updated. Thank you for the information.

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

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…
