I posted this on the 75 Series forum trying to help a contact and thought I would throw it out here also:

On the Body Name Plate on the 75 series I have pulled in over the years, following the word BODY is always the initials DC.  ON 62 & 63 series for the 1963's and 1964's I deal with it is[b] FW [/b]which I understood to mean it was assembled at Fisher Body's Fleetwood Plant.   

In the book "Cadillac Fleetwood Series Seventy – Five Limousines 1937 – 1987" it says on page 5: “ Starting in 1956, Fleetwood Seventy-Five bodies were handcrafted by the skilled artisans at GM’s Plant 21 in downtown Detroit then transported in special closed trailers to the Clark Avenue plant across town.”  There is a paragraph about the and production and production #’s (6 to 12 a day), but ends by saying “ The last Series Seventy-Five bodies left Plant 21 in mid-1984”.

So DC ultimately means Plant 21,  but I have forgotten what the initials DC stand for?  I think I knew it at some point but the grey matter is not retrieving it right now!   Who knows why DC was used as the designation for these 75 series?
thanks, Jason.

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!
