At the 2024 Grand National - Ted Mandalakis' 1964 de Ville Convertible

Here is our 6th look back at 1963/64 Cadillac Chapter member Cadillacs at the 2024 CLC Grand National in Gettysburg - TED MANDALAKIS' 1964 de VILLE CONVERTIBLE.

This immaculate convertible owned by Ted Mandalakis drove away with a very well deserved Senior Award.   While I did not get to spend a lot of time checking out this pristine example, I do want do a newsletter cover feature in the not-too-distant future! 

Ted also serves as the Director of the Raritan River Region, and was the 1st Charter Member to put help form the 1963/64 Cadillac Chapter back in June 2010!

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

Hey guys,
