Ever since I purchased my car which had 5 spoke aftermarket wheels I wanted to go more traditional but slightly custom. I really liked the look of the highly polished wheel covers. So I decided to blend that look with a more custom application. I think it works.

Very nice looking car! Is that a factory color? The grill customization works well too.

Thank you, the color is Benton Blue. I did some paint correction and put a ceramic coating on it and it really pops in the bright sunlight. The grill had some discoloration on the flat parts that would not come clean. So I figured I'd give this look a try if I didn't like it I could change it back this winter. I've made some updates to the car that aren't original so I wasn't concern with that. I like just mild changes that don't just jump out to the untrained eye but are there.

Actually they are wheels made to look like wheel covers. 17” x 7” with 225/65r17 tires by Diamondback Tires custom made.

You really nailed this look. Love the grill and the choice of wheels and whitewalls. Looks immaculate!

Thanks Tony I really wanted a classic Cadillac that had some customization but not real far out there. Yes this is the car I did the TH400 swap. I just love this car and how it’s coming along. Driving it to car shows 3-4 hrs away is a dream. 

I think it'd be great for this car to be featured in an upcoming Newsletter Member Cadillac Spotlight, the sooner the better.

Kurt, my car would not be where it is without the people on this site. I like the fact people here may not agree with the direction someone may go with their car but they will offer solid advice none the less. I appreciate that very high complement. 

thank!

I agree! But first we need to get Norm signed up to the Chapter! Norm, consider joining the Cadillac & LaSalle Club --> www.cadillaclasalleclub.org/join then email me at jasonedge@nc.rr.com to join our Free Chapter. I would love to spotlight this beauty in an upcoming newsletter!

I will do so upon my return from the beach next week. It would an honor to be considered for an up coming newsletter.  They say pictures or it didn’t happen.

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!

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…
