trim colours
I am trying to figure out the original colours for the interior of my 64 deVille convertible. The car colour is Matador Red 50-1, the top is 1 and the trim code is 28. All I can find is white leather with red carpet. Is the steering wheel and dash suppose to match the exterior colour of Matador red or is it different? I'm trying to go back to original colour scheme. Thank you in advance Larry

Larry, the details on what is what color on the interior is in the Spec Manual. I have inserted a copy for the 64-6267 convertible below. You will note that for trim code 28 everything is white, except the Instrument panel cover & extensions, steering wheel grips, shifter, directional signal & adj steering wheel lever caps (the column lever shift end caps) where all dark red, and the carpet was dark red. They didn't have different shades of red carpet as I recall but a standard dark red. If trying to match up maybe you have some you can cut out out from under the seats or door sill plates, etc.
Here is that spec manual scan:

What % of 1963 and 1964 Cadillacs came with the optional "soft ray" tented glass? 1963 & 1964 were very close, so if you get one you will get the other. Need to get it within 3%. So, who will…Continue

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

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,
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…
