ORIGINAL CAR

I have an all original 63 Cadillac Park Avenue. It has won awards in the past in the Originality Category. My question to the group is what types of work you can do on the car that does not cause the car to no longer be an Original. I noticed the rubber around the windows is cracking. Can I replace that rubber without violating any requirements for the car to be an ORIGINAL? I am a novice on judging requirements. Thanks David

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

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,
