Trivia Question 16 - Dealer Option One Year - Factory Option the Next!

OK..Here is a trivia question I have meant to ask over the years but never got back to it. The question is:

What option was a Dealer Installed Only Option in 1963, but became a Factory Option in 1964?   
I know of one example... there may be more.

  I have owned my car since 84, been here a number of years , and still learning about  these fine cars!  Didn't know that changed in 64.   So many cool details  to try and remember!

Robert, the migration of the spare on the shelf 1st for Coupes in 1963, then for Coupe's and 4W Sedans in 1964 would have been a good trivia question but one of those things hard to ask without confusing everyone and getting very wordy!  This does have me thinking about a new Newsletter section or page.. maybe something like a "Did You Know?" section were we point out some of these obscure but interesting facts! I will have to work on that!

Ah Thank ya , thank ya very much !

Yeah, not fair Jason, my car came from Southern California, no bastard down there orders a friggin defogger.... ya maniac.

Worse part was, I was thinking about that afterwards, so I want, no, I demand, based on the above, I should at least score Robert's butt.

Noooooo, not that butt, the other butt.... :-)

We need a Fleetwood question, preferably one I would know the answer too. 

Here's your butt.... 

 Kevin , even if you had a rear defroster , it probably wouldn't blow the right way !

Thanks for butt Jason and yeah Robert, everything is arse about in the great land down under. :-) LOL

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…
