Phil, do you have a series 62? or a series 63

deville convertible

Phil, Here are a couple of pictures of my 64 CDV with the door panels installed. These will be the same door panel as your 64-6267 DeVille Convertible. Only difference between the door is your side glass and vent window glass and frame are shorter...panels are the same. Note that I have power vent windows, so you would  have the grooved stud with crank handle in top front painted metal plate if you have manual vent windows.  Click image then click "View Full Size" to enlarge:

Do not forget to put a liner between the panel and door. I only know about 61-62 Cadillac doors but if they are the same the door liner goes into a long slot at bottom of door. The water will run down the liner and be funneled back inside the door and out the weep holes in bottom of door. It keep the door panel dry. If not you will have wrapped door panels.
This is how I did my car. See the rain drops. This is what happen when it rains. My car was all together except for the inside door panel.
Attachments:

It is a strong oil type paper. I have never sourced any and use the thick mil plastic as Dave did. Seems to keep the water off the door panel and out of the car which is it's purpose.

Joining in on the door panel water shield paper.  I have not ordered any but plan to try it RUBBER THE RIGHT WAY has a product listed for that purpose in their catalog.

Gene, Maybe you can post a picture once you get it tacked up to the door. thanks, Jason.

Jason, Maybe in a year or two.  LOL

Thank you everyone for the info. I will post pics when completed
Can someone please post a photo of the Interor door without the door panel. Just the naked steel inside door. I want to see if the 63-64 door has a long slot for water barrier to slip in to.

Here ya go...  CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE.

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!

Who rebuilds original AC  accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year ,  There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A    What  is everyone using ? 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…
