We decided we needed one more road trip before the Ks. weather turns to winter. Temp is in the 60's/70's so Ol Blue is begging to give it one more shot last Thursday.…Continue

Are the trunk lids the same on all 63/64 models? Need one for my 63 SDV and would like to know what would work. Seems like the crest and v were different but figure that can be worked around.Thanks…Continue

Well it finally happened. After 8 years of enjoyment, over 20,000 miles, the wife and I were sitting at a stop sign in our small town, waiting for traffic to clear and an old farmer ran into the back of us. Bowed the rear bumper, got the deck lid, latch, air shock lines, trunk won't close and who knows what else. Matching paint on this thing is bear as it has some pearl in it.Oh well, guess it could have been worse.Looking for a body shop in NE Kansas that deals with classic cars if anyone…See More

A Sad Day in Mudville
Posted on July 20, 2015 at 11:48am 5 Comments 1 Like
Saturday was a bad day.
The wife and I was returning home from a local cruise when ol Blue started reving up going down the interstate. Yep, something gave out on the old tranny. The underside of the car is soaked with tranny fluid along with the rear of the car. It lost it fast, by the time I got to the exit, there was no movement. Pulled the dipstick, empty.
I thought maybe one of the rubber hoses in the cooling lines gave out but I can't see anything wrong with them. Of…

Well, we woke up to a beautiful, warm day for this time of year here in NE Ks. yesterday. The wife said it would be " a good day to test the Caddie".
This is in prep for a little adventure we're planning to take the end of March first part of April. We're going to drive the Ks, Ok. and maybe Texas stretch of Route 66. What better way of doing it than in a '63 Sedan DeVille.
I said what the h..., temp in the 40's-50's, sunshine, threw a few tools in the trunk and headed…
Continue63 SDV Rear Seat Belts
Posted on February 22, 2015 at 1:27pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
Well, the wife say we gotta have'em so I'm on the hunt for seat belts for the back seat of my SDV 4 window.
My question is, are the rears the same length as the front?. Near as I can tell, fronts are about 70+ inches or so.
I've been looking at after market, chrome latch belts that are pretty reasonable. Seat Belt Planet and Andoauto are a couple. Although not exact match to the fronts that are installed, they'll be fine for my driver.
Haven't looked around at it yet to…

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

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?
