I have not researched the 1963 literature, but did research the 1964 that shows a lighter cap with dark lettering in items I found.  The 1963 Dealer Data Book does not show the battery and the shop manual (Fig 12-4 and 12-6 is two vague) other than to show spring ring terminals meaning the red covered cap in picture above is incorrect.  Bill Anderson who is a professional restorer and director of the CLC Authenticity Manuals  did Jim Verraster's 1963 Park Avenue with the yellow caps as seen in picture below. If anything I have learned is that items often changed from year to year and even quite often within a production year. the 5 bladed clutch, to 7 bladed non-clutch, to 5 bladed clutch to 7 bladed non-clutch in the same 1964 production year for AC equipped 62 and 63 series cars is a good example.

Here is a picture of Jim Verraster's 63 Park Avenue which was featured in our newsletter last year?
