Is it One Cadillac Pulling Two, or Two Cadillacs Pulling One!?!

I had to swap Cadillacs today to get the 1964 Cadillac Parts car on the Car Hauler to finish up, however, there was a 1963 Parts car that had to be removed first and needed to have the 63 end up where the 64 had been parked. I ended up chaining the 64 to the car hauler to be able to pull it out and get it over in the center, so I could…

Like a Kid in a Cadillac Candy Store....

I am like a kid in a Cadillac Candy Store when I am pulling these cars apart. This one was especially fun since it matches my personal 1964 CDV and several parts off this car have already found their way to 'Dino!". Weather Permitting I will knock most of this car out this weekend.  Tools are set, and I am ready to GET IT…

Lower molding

Hi guys. Does any one of you have pictures of how the lower molding on a 63 biarritz is fastened? There are 4 holes from screws. It is the molding behind the rear wheel. Cees

63 Fleetwood trunk won't open

I have a 63 Fleetwood 60 special. I shut my trunk today and it will not release with the vacuum or the key, I can not get it to unlock. I could really use some help with this rather frustrating issue. Thank you.

Tail light lens question.

Good morning,  Can someone tell me if I am missing something. I have removed four screws to change burned out bulbs in the back of my 64 SDV, but the plastic lenses will not come out. Are there also bolts from the back. I know it is very simple, but I do not want to force it. I have posted photos to show what I am talking about. Thanks

Amazing things can happen at Car Shows.

As my wife and I were pulling into our regular spot at the local car show, our 1964 Classic Cadillac was immediately surrounded by several people. The method in which they swarmed the car was rather alarming, as they approached with such intensity. THAT IS MY OLD CAR shouted a very excited Man. Really said I- what is your name? Sure enough his name was on the Vehicle History and a long and interesting story was soon told. He owned our car from 1977 to 1987 and was able to fill in many blanks…

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…
