1963 Eldoado interior

Well we (my son and I) have finally made it to the interior of our '63 Eldorado and thought we would find the original interior underneath the seat covers that had been installed, but instead we find an earlier reupholster job that is not done in the original design. So now we are seeking any advice, photos, etc. or information of any kind on the interior seats of a '63 Eldorado. Leads on interior shops that may be able to reupholster the seats would be great also!

Thanks for any help…

Rochester Carby problem

OK so my Rochester is on the 57 Fleetwood not the 64 but I know I can get some feedback here on the problem... Carby went off the car and went for a refurb. Engine would not idle and the idle screw would do nothing. There was no bakelite spacer which I believe feeds the air to the mixture screw but now have installed that.  Carby back from refurb on it goes and same deal.. The idle screw does nothing and the engine blows lots of black smoke at idle (too rich I assume).. Any ideas what is…

Upholstery cost

I was rolling around town today saw an upholstery shop so thought I'd stop and talk about my 63 sdv front seat.

He said about $100/yd. @3 yards + $250 labor. 

Sound about right using the old leather?

This is a ways down the road, but just  getting ideas on cost. Also, anyone ever put cruise on one of these things(aftermarket)?

Thanks for any insight

I have a question.  My 64 CDV is down for a complete paint and interior redo.  When  I disassembled the interior I found 4 hard rubber blocks under the front seat attachment bolts.  Has anyone seen this before or did someone before me put these in to raise the height of the seat.  Secondly, I was wanting to install new headlamps that would give better lighting for nighttime driving.  Has anyone had experience installing the HID lighting in lieu of the standard sealbeams?  Any advice would be…

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns. 

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
