Chuffed to win Vintage 1964 Cadillac Banners

I have been watching this ebay auction for a 9' and smaller 1964 banner intently all week,  ready to slide in at 9:45am today and get them. They didn't come cheap but will look cool in my Sliver and Gold upstairs Cadillac Office!

Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301693022763?euid=42a7328d87be4f258bd61c322f88430b&cp=1…

   Has anyone had good luck with a replacement gas tank?  I need to replace my gas tank in my 64 CDV and as I look around I see advertised replacement tanks that will work, but the fine print states that they are 4 gal less than the original tank.  Cadi's aren't known for their fuel economy.  Would like to find something with the same gallons.  Anyone have any experiences to share?  Thanks Kevin

A Sad Day in Mudville

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…

Trunk pull down cable

I am striking out on finding a trunk pull down cable, has anyone used a different cable?

I was thinking maybe a bicycle cable of some kind.

 Is there a way to close the trunk without the cable to pull it the rest of the way down?

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?

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…
