Trivia Question 12 - What's Missing in the Rear Passenger Area of the Series 62 Coupes?

On the 1963 and 1964 Series 62 Coupes there is one thing in particular that is missing in the rear passenger area that is found in all the other body styles including the 1963 and 1964 Series 62 Sedans.

Hint: it is a very common item especially for 1963 and 1964.

BINGO!!!! Mark gets the Cigar... just has no way to light it.
Since the coupe did not have the separate switch pods like the sedans, and instead just had the long rear qtr arm rests, they only had ash receptacle, but no cigarette lighter.  You can find this information in the Dealer Data Book, Spec Manuals and Brochures. I have included scans of the 1963 and 1964 Series 62 Coupe below including the interior illustration and listing of standard equipment.


So... .A Big Cigar for Mark but now Lit Cigar for those in the back seat of a 1963 or 1964 Series 62 Coupe... Bummer! 

Rear Seat Belt Option?

Coat hanger?

OK. New game...What is the error on this page?

That's not the rear door unless I drive mine backwards.

Bingo, Kevin get's a cigar.  Just can't light it from the back!  Good eye on that Kurt!  You get a cigar, also!!

ps... I've got one of those brainy, over the top, head scratcher - trivia questions I might post tomorrow. It is so obvious we might have to get Tony in on it. 

Remember the Tire Trivia #11 when I asked what car spec was different between the Eldos with the standard 8.2 tires and the others with the 8.0 tires and we had 3 pages of guessing before Tony finally stepped up and uttered the famous line "raising the car a bit"! 

This is another one of those trivia question answers so obvious you might miss it!   Stay tuned.... 

Well Kevin, you do drive it on the wrong side of the road  : )

And upside down to you guys too. Lucky for us, the southern hemisphere has better gravity. :-)

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

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

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

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

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…
