Yes, that's right.  Looked pretty scruffy in the EBay listing, but I went down to Palm Beach to have a look.  Very nice interior.  Some paint issues and some surface rust on the undercarriage.  Plus some kind of weird top that I've never seen before.  Vinyl but with a coarse suede-like texture, plus painted top hard surfaces and a lining...also things I've never seen in this vintage of Cadillac.  Paint is older Laquer with some issues, but not to horrible.  Engine just rebuilt, brakes done, AC just done, everything works.  Car drives beautifully.  It came from the Walgreen family collection via the seller, who bought this and three other cars from Jim Walgreen a couple years ago.

Thanks, Jason.  Just bought the '64, and it will be delivered tomorrow or Friday from Palm Beach.  The old girl will need some work, but has a pretty amazingly well-preserved original interior.  Will need a lot of work on the engine bay, undercarriage, trunk, and some paint work...oh, and a top...LOL.  The car was bought new by the Walgreen family, and owned by them until two years ago when the guy I bought it from got it.  It seems the top was rarely down, thus the nice interior.  I like other Cadillac's too, and have a '67 Eldorado (Capri Aqua slick top/Aqua leather), a '78 Seville (Riudoso Saddle Metallic slick top, Medium Saddle Leather), and a 2008 XLR-V (Black Raven/Ebony)

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,

-Samu

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?
