It’s been over three years since I had my (then just purchased) car towed for the first time and it has been a nightmare ever since.
But I can finally say: it is back home and I did my first 2h drive around the neighborhood today, since humidity was down for a change.

While I have great products to clean and maintain my leather I was wondering what you all are using for the rest of the interior (e.g. the dash) and the exterior. I don’t want to go at it with anything to harsh.

Thanks and looking forward to driving finally.

Daniela,  That is absolutely fantastic! You have been through so much and glad you hung in there so you can enjoy your 63 Eldorado. Here is a throwback picture of you in that Eldorado from 2021! We will definitely have to do a full newsletter cover feature now that you have it on the road.

Hi Jason,

it’s been a ride.  lol Not sure if it is worth a cover feature but as soon as it’s cleaned up and I find a nice locationfor pictures we can do that. 

btw - this is a pic frontage day I picked the car up from the last mechanic. Some street just the other side

Great picture!

Daniela,

     This is really great news and congratulations!  Enjoy the ride - that's the best part.

Thank you! 

As far as interior & exterior cleaning products you will get a variety of answers.

Personally, for exterior waxes I like Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid wax. 

If  your car paint has road grime, oxidation, etc, and needs a good polishing wax I use Meguiar's Ultimate Compound first, then the Ultimate wax.

For interior vinyl, rubber and plastic I like

Mequiar's Ultimate Protectant

While you said you have leather products I will throw out that I like the Lexol products:

The 64 hood V is considerably bigger than the 63 hood V, and one of the many things I have not done in dealing with these cars on the last 3 decades was to do a direct comparison. Someone asked about…Continue

Radio Models 1963 to 1968

I sometimes get asked what radios were used in 1963 and 1964 or verification of a radio model number, so I scanned the radio listing from a 1968 Master Parts Book that covers 63 to 68 which covers…Continue

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!
