It is with sadness that I have just read that Kurt Fowler passed away on June 19. I had the pleasure of meeting Kurt at the 2013 Boston GN and featuring his 63 Park Avenue in our 63/64 Chapter newsletter later that year. Kurt had served as President of the Central Plains region and was co-owner of Autotech Collision and Service in Wichita, Kansas.  There is a message regarding Kurt's passing on the Autotech site at http://autotechcs.com/index.html  Kurt was a super nice guy and will miss him as a friend and fellow Cadillac enthusiast.

You can see his featured 1963 Park Avenue and cover story in the November 2013 newsletter at this link:
November 2013 Newsletter


Kurt has spent 34 years in the automobile repair industry. From 1980 to 2002 were he was with the Bulger Cadillac Oldsmobile and Jeep dealership. Kurt has had years of G.M. training, is ASE certified Master mechanic, and specialize in knowledge of vintage to modern Cadillac's. Kurt's hobbies include wildlife conservation, hunting, fishing, restoring Cadillac's of the 50's & 60's, and really enjoy playing Saxophone. Jazz and Blues are his favorites but like all GOOD music. He have been attending St Jude Catholic Church, but have recently moved to the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seaton Parrish. Kurt is currently president of the Central Plains region Cadillac LaSalle club, and treasure of the Ringneck Rustlers, our Sedgwick county chapter of Pheasants Forever.

Prayers go out to his family. He will be missed.

God Bless Kurt, he sold me my first Cadillac, the 63 that I own today. I honestly just found out today when reading through Wichita news as I am now back home in Kansas.

I met Kurt a few times at the Grand Nationals. I think the first time was 2013 in Boston. Super nice guy, and huge loss to the Cadillac community.

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
