Are the rear doors on other 6 window sedans the same as the Fleetwood 60 special? Obviously the door cards are different, but is that it? Steele has weatherstripping available for the rear door 6…Continue

"Thanks! I replaced the lenses with repros and also sprayed the inside of the housings with chrome spray paint in addition to cleaning up the sockets. Seemed to help a lot."

"On one side, I don’t have the holes since it’s a replacement fender from a non-fleetwood. So I ground off the pegs and just put glue on the backside of the letter. On the other side, I have the pegs so I used a little on the back of the…"
"I used superglue, and once it set up it was an extremely strong hold. Just be careful and don’t use too much. I first tried using 3m plastic trim adhesive, but it didn’t work well and a letter fell off (luckly in my driveway)."

B Pillar Interior Trim
Hi Everyone:The interior trim covering for my B Pillars is missing in my 64 Fleetwood, and I am wondering what the piece(s) looks like so I can recreate it.I found this photo online (not a Fleetwood) - It looks like there is carpet on the bottom, and then maybe matching leather (?) above that. Is there a cardboard backer that ties it all together or are they separately attached? Also, does it vary based on model?…See More
"Thanks Jason, good suggestions. Steele lists the replacement part for Fleetwoods from 61-64, so that broadens the search even more."
"Michael, as a CLC member I would reach out to other members with a 63/64 Fleetwood and see if they have run into this rear vent window rubber seal issue. Marty Smith is one member that I know has restored a lot of his Fleetwood 60 Special. Looking…"
"The issue is the metal is molded into the weatherstripping itself. On the new piece there is also a metal strip molded in, but the area where I could potentially drill a hole is notched out and is only rubber. "
"Michael. One would assume since the metal guide piece didn't come with the rubber you were to reuse the old metal I am seeing in the picture. I have some 60S rears somewhere and can take a look at one when it gets above 10 degrees, but…"

Rear Vent Window Weatherstripping Replacement
Has anyone here replaced the weatherstripping on the rear vent windows of a Fleetwood 60 Special? Unlike the front vent windows, the pivot shaft of the window is inserted into the weatherstipping itself. On the original rubber, there was a hole in the molded steel of the weatherstripping that it fit into. On the reproduction (Steele), there is just a rubber pocket with no metal backing, so a hole (with integrity) can't be drilled. As a result, I cant properly keep the window from falling out. I…See More
"Thanks for the idea!"
"All rear doors are different from 1963 to 1964, even across similar body styles (eg. 1963 4W to 1964 4W; 1963 6W to 1964 6W, 1963 60S to 1964 60S) due to deeper valley at top rear of door for the taller tail fin line down top rear qtr to tip end of…"

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,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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?
