Trivia Question 19 - What General Insignia is Missing on the Eldorado and Fleetwood 60 Special?
We haven't handed out any cigars lately so I have one that I "relearned" today from a visitor with a 63 Eldorado.
So the question is there is a piece of general insignia not related to a specific body style that is missing on the 1963 and 1964 Eldorado and Fleetwood 60 Special but is found on the other body styles.
I can give some hints but will leave it a bit open to see if we have any super sleuths.

I never noticed this before, but just by searching pics it looks like there is no Cadillac script in the grille on those models.

Alright, going for Cadillac script again but it's missing from the glove box.

Bingo! No Cadillac Scripts on the glove box door of the 63/64 Eldo or 60 Special. I guess they decided it wasn't worth it to drill thru that nice looking steel plate with Narra/Baku wood inlay.
So, MR KURT.... HAVE A CIGAR!!!!

Also, the 1963 Eldorados have neither a V nor a crest on the deck lid.

Charles that is true but they do have ELDORADO in block lettering on the trunk lid to designate the body style, as does the 1963 FLEETWOOD. So in a way you are correct in that the general 1963 V & crest insignia is not there, but there is insignia for that particular body style. In 1964 the Fleetwoods (including Eldorado) would adopt the wreath on the hood and trunk, and block lettering would be moved to the rear bottom section of the front fenders.
Regardless, Charles also gets a Cigar!!

Hello I've been restoring a 63 for way to many years. Down to almost done, but have issue with trans linkage, when column in park shift rod 2 inches short. everything original. been trying to find picture of manual rod hooked up from under car to see position of linkage. was wondering if anybody has access for pictures. I wanted to see if my manual linkage is bent wrong out of the trans if somebody dropped the trans or something. Doesn't make sense why it doesn't work. Thanks for any input…

Torque converter grab when idling in Drive

Hi Everyone, been quite a while since i have been on here.
I have had an issue with the idle on my 64 Coupe Deville ever since i have had it.
With the Idle set high enough that it is smooth, but still a nice idle, the RPM seems only slightly too high for the stall of the Torque Converter. And therefore it tends to sit there and grab and lunge a bit. So until now, i have been putting the car in Neutral at the lights to stop this happening.
I've had the car dyno tuned and…
