Uniroyal, Good Year and Firestone... I think, were three of the brands available?
Kevin has got 3 of the tire manufacturers for Part 1 of the Trivia, but there is one more, so we are still looking for the 4th manufacturer, and the answers to 2, 3 and 4. Also, just to note, would have taken US Royal (the tire brand) or Uniroyal (the tire company).
would Yokohama be the 4th brand?
Nope. The 4th one is a biggie in the US...or has been.
Yep, Mark names the 4th Tire Manufacture to complete #1 of the 4 part question. Just to add:
The 1963 and 1964 Specification Manuals lists
US Royal, Firestone, Goodrich, and Goodyear
however, the dealer data book only lists
US Royal, Firestone, Goodrich
I would have taken either answer but Goodrich had to be included
Nope, not the answer.
Ok, lets see how close I can get.
1. Name the tire manufactures that provided tires for 1963/64 Cadillacs?
Yokohama, Uniroyal, Good Year and Firestone.
2. What was the standard tire for the 1963/64 Cadillacs?
8:20 x15 Firestone.
3 . What was the optional tire for the 1963/64 Cadillacs?
A white wall tire for the "Normal Production" stuff and a heavy duty variant for the series 75 and commercial chassis stuff.
4. For which Cadillacs was the optional tire recommended?
See answer to question # 3.
1. Goodyear, U.S. Royal (Uniroyal), Firestone are correct. Yokohama is not.
2. Only partially correct on tire size, and no standard tire brand, all 4 were used.
3. incorrect. think about what would have been standard fare and what would have been considered an upgrade.
4. incorrect. it involves equipment, and not a particular body style.
An upgrade would be a radial tyre/tire then.
Is Radial correct... oh great fearless leader?
Not unless you could have invented a time machine. Radials were introduced on Cadillacs in 1972.
...and I thought #2 would be the trick question...hint.
Mark, You have #3 exactly and almost have #2. Look at the tire size again.
Still looking for #4. It is not in terms of an option group but something Cadillac recommended for a particular option for a particular reason.

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…
