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.

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,

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?
