Hi everyone.
Nice to be back here.
For anyone who doesn't know me yet, I'm Maurice and I live in Papendrecht which is located in the Netherlands in the province of South Holland. I am the proud owner my Cadillac sedan DeVille for 27 years.
It has always driven around in Annapolis Maryland. The Cadillac was bought by an acquaintance of mine at the Hershey car show. When the car arrived in the Netherlands, my cousin bought it. He already had a few classic American cars. During a national holiday here in the Netherlands, I was allowed to drive his Oldsmobile Delta 88 royal convertible. On that day, I got infected with the American car virus. So I started working 6 days a week and didn't go out with friends anymore. It was set in stone. I wanted to buy that Cadillac from my cousin. After a year, it was time: I finally had the money together. After about 2 years of saving, I was finally able to have the car repainted. This had already been done in America, but it had been repainted over the original paint. The paint was completely cracked. This is now 25 years ago and the car still looks super nice. some small spots, but we have those after 25 years too. In 2015 I started a search for all '63ers in the Netherlands. I have now found about 40. In the meantime I have also created a group for it and expanded it to Belgium. The plan is to organize a meeting again this year and otherwise next year.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
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

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…
