I have had 2 sets of tires on my 64 Cadillac 'Dino' in the last 28 years and am scared to even look at the date code on those on there now so I went ahead and ordered a new set of the BF Goodrich 8.20-15 Silvertown Bias Plys that have have been running since day one.
I had an issue with a front right tire on my 2013 Escalade EXT while in Gettysburg and was lucky that I have a stack of 8 new tires at home and just had my wife to ship one of the tires. This got me to thinking about my aging out tires on Dino and checked the Coker Tire site and they still have them so I just pulled the trigger. If you buy something with Coker, they are offering free shipping right now, and if you register an account they will send you a 10% discount code. So I added the tires, signed up (even though I have been dealing with them for 25 years), got my code and knocked a big chunk off the price.
Here is the link to the tire and a picture from their site:

I still love these tires but nearly everyone I talk to says DONT go back to Bias Ply. I know my Fleetwood needs front end work and that would be a big reason not to go with bias ply, but I intend to sort the front end. I just love the look of these tires.
The only people I talk to that say to run the bias ply are the ones RUNNING them lol.
I agree with Logan! Bias ply for auto shows...radials for the road. Huge difference in ride and handling.

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…
