I had sent Tri-City Plating a 64 rear center to see if it could be rechromed, and it was too far gone, but got into a conversation with Chip, and he said he has 4 good 1964 rear center cores. The rechrome price is $585 and claimed one for myself for my personal 64 CDV. That leaves 3 available, and I sent an email to the 3 contacts I had on my wait list looking for one.  One has already indicated they found one, so that leaves at least 1 extra available... maybe 3 if the other 2 contacts do not want need or want one. I did ask about 63 rear centers, and Chip said they didn't have that one. I also told him to be on the look out for front lower end (buckets).  

I have had other chrome work done by Tri-City and have been extremely pleased.  If interested contact Tri-City at 1800-251-7536 and ask for Chip. Their website is at http://www.tricityplating.com/.  Tell them Jason at Classic Cadillac Parts sent ya!

I went ahead and made the call to order one. I had purchased a bumper recently that looked way better in the pictures. Thanks for the tip! Looking forward to getting the dented up bumper on my car replaced.

That's at least 2 of the 4 they have on hand spoken for.

Just spoke with Chip again today and apparently the rest of the bumpers were too rotted to be repaired, so I will be sending mine and hoping it is in good enough shape to restore. 

Sounds good. Fingers crossed.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

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,

-Samu

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?
