Trivia Question 9 - Top 5 States with Most New Cadillac Registrations in 1963?

OK.. time for trivial. Kinda related to another post some of us have been following, name the Top 5 States with the Most New Cadillac Registrations in the 1963 Calendar year.
This is for all new Cadillac registrations regardless of body style or model year, but would obviously mainly cover new 1963 and 1964 Model Cadillac registrations.
Whoever lists the states in correct order 1st gets the Cigar!

BINGO! Michael Long gets the cigar. Here is your list of the Top 10 states for new Cadillac registrations in calendar year 1963:

1. California            20,275
2. New York            17,744
3. Illinois                 12,816
4. New Jersey        10,251
5. Michigan              9,922
6. Pennsylvania       9,800
7. Ohio                      8,294
8. Florida                  8,075
9. Texas                    7,650
10. Massachusetts  3,920

Duh, I live about two hours and change from Chicago.  I should have known that the first time around. Oh well I guess it was a better guess than Hawaii.

Tony I was thinking the EXACT same thing when I was trying to come up with the top 5. The top 8 states used to have huge numbers of "connected" guys living in them when industry was booming, steel was king and GM wore the crown. Wise guys and Cadillacs go together like peanut butter and jelly!

I threw Texas in as possibility as # 3, thinking of rich oil fields, ranches etc, that a fair few Texans would buy a Cadillac.

Maybe everything isn't as big in Texas?

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
