Well, I headed down to Grill 57 in Garner about 30 minutes before the Cruise In was supposed to starter and there was a sign on the door saying they were closed for renovations but should reopen soon. It was a bit of a bummer, but I got my Saturday back and decided it was time for a proper Pooch de Ville Cruise with my Yorkies Priscilla & Presley. I moved the 2 new pooch seats from the Escalade and put them in the 64 CDV and went for a very nice long weather. I even did some 1 fingered driving an a round-a-bout replete with bias ply tires and that crazy 75 series stabilizer bar that I will share later. First, thought, here are some pictures from today  .. with the Good Time Still Rolling... Pooch de Ville Style!!

Looks like a happy family. Do you feed them Cadillac Dog food?

No, they generally don't eat any brand "dog food". They eat mostly mixed veggies mixed with either Salmon or white chicken breast.  They often get DentaStix for treats.  We try to keep the kids healthy with good teeth.  

That's a good approach. I did some research and it turns out that there are many things named Cadillac besides our favorite cars:

Excerpts from a legal decision when GM sued a boat company for selling a Cadillac brand boat.  

(General Motors Corp. v. Cadillac Marine & Boat Co., 226 F. Supp. 716 (W.D. Mich. 1964)

The name "Cadillac" derives its historical origin from the explorer-soldier Antoine de Mothe Cadillac, who was born in 1660 and died in 1720. It was through him that the name "Cadillac" was first introduced upon the North American Continent, and in the territory around Wayne County and Detroit. Since that time that name "Cadillac" has been continuously appropriated and used as the name of sites for parks, forts, squares, streets, cities and lakes, as well as the name of businesses, enterprises and products. Cadillac Square in Detroit bears the name; streets in both the cities of Detroit and Cadillac also bear the name.

***

The word "Cadillac" has been registered as part of a trade-mark in the *724 Patent Office for use on various products by many persons or businesses other than the plaintiff. The name is registered in block, script, and with and without the Cadillac family seal. The products range from dog food, aluminum furniture, writing paper, binoculars, combination storm and screen sashes, sausage, ham, bacon, lard and cheese, shoes, cigars, sewing machines, rubber stamps, steel embossing marking dies, hand marking machines, vacuum cleaners, blowtorches, air blowers and furnaces, stainless steel flatware, wines, women's and children's dresses, cosmetics and other items.

Please give your pooches a pat on the head for me. 

Lucky dogs!  I did not get to ride in a car like that until I was over 30 years old!!

Michael, they don't do too bad. Their other main ride is in the Escalade,.... or what I often call the Pooch-Scalade. I just need to find some Lassie reruns for the DVD headset players!

Michael, maybe someone can fabricate those seats to fit you?  ;-)

They are rather nice! I will put them on the wish list and hope for the best.

Great idea, thanks Anders. :)

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

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
