The trunks used grey tweed-like fabric and  grey speckle pattern interlocking cardboard panels.

All models had the grey tweed fabric on the floor pan, very rear trunk wall and up and over the package shelf hump.  The floor pan mat was a single piece that covered the entire bottom floor pan. Any additional mats, carpets, etc are not original and something that was added later.

All models other than Fleetwood and Eldorado had the interlocking grey speckle pattern cardboard: 2 interlocking pieces on left and 2 interlocking pieces on rear, and 1 at very rear.

For the Eldorado and Fleetwood, these cardboard panels were covered with the trunk fabric mentioned above.  

NOTE  The 1963 Coupes, and 1964 Coupes and 4 window Sedans had the spare mounted up on the hump below the rear package tray.  Other body styles had the spare tire mounted in the floor pan via a J hook, large black painted metal pan and large wing nut.  Fleetwoods and Eldorados have a form-sewn cover made of the trunk lining material over the spare tire. Other models with the spare in the floor could get this cover as a dealer option.  

Below are some sample pictures:

 Note spare tire mounted on hump below rear package tray in a 1964 Coupe Deville.  This would be the same location for the 1964 4 window sedans.   Also note that the commonly used 235/75/15 radial is too wide to fit in this area and has to lay in the trunk floor. 

 The Jack "J" hook and base were held in place by black painted metal brackets attached to the right side cardboard insert, and held in place with 5/16" hex head short metal screws on front and flat speed  nuts on back.

 Note the Spare Tire mounted on right side of trunk floor on this 1964 6 Window Sedan Parts Car:

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…
