I came across this picture tonight of me and my first ‘64 de Ville, circa 1989.  I was 24 and cruising the Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, West LA, and the So Cal beaches, getting into all the trouble I could, without getting arrested.  Man….what great times!  Great times now, too….

One great picture of your  past and a nice thing to have in your future collection of 64 Cadillac photos  

Some serious real estate your cruising around out there then —-and now 

You were a young man to be sporting  a Cadillac convert at 24 years old 

My 64 convert was part of my life when I was about 21 and my Dads Cadillac at the time brand new 

I was busy drag racing and breaking a track record in Super Stock with a 409 Chevy  at that time 

More than anyone else I do understand you needing to duplicate owning  that Cadillac for all the joy it brought your in your youth 

After my racing I got myself a 1962 Cadillac convert  with optional then AC (  AC not common in the NY metropolitan area then ) —- all black exterior with a natural leather faun color interior I was about 25 and have never gotten over what a great experience than was until this very day 

Being young with the success associated with  owning a Cadillac at that time was an amazing experience ( mind blowing to many )

Dad had collected 6 or 7 fully restored early 60’s Cadillacs ( his personal collection ) and gave me the choice of which one I wanted which is right up there with the best possible days of my life 

We have a lot in common regarding the joy theses Classic Antique Cadillac convertibles have brought us thru the years and young 

These thought of my youth —— makes me feel warm and fuzzy — so thanks for that 

Keep knocking them out wherever you take your outstanding  ride —- just like the old days !

Actually it is even more exotic owning these great Cadillacs in 2023 than ever before and has always been a true BLAST OF A TIME  to be doing 

I think we should keep these Cadillacs around for a while ——don’t you ! ! ! 

Enjoy

1964 power steering sector rebuild

Posted by CHRIS CARLSON on March 20, 2023 at 11:32pm 3 Comments

 I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response,   has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you

Need help with a hood latch

Posted by Curtis Dover on January 2, 2023 at 5:23pm 0 Comments

Hey guys, I need some help.  Could someone send me some pictures on how the first hood release lever on a factory 1964 Cadillac is set up, where it comes though the grille. Not the secondary one. I need to know where the thumb or finger position is located through the grille. Is it above or below the center grille molding piece? Mine seems to be positioned behind the center molding piece and will not adjust above or below the molding. I have a wire tied to it to release it…
