Hey guys,

       Has there been any recent movement or progress regarding an authenticity manual for our 63-64 cars?

Thanks and happy motoring!

Director of Technical Services (and Chief Judge) Bill Anderson stated he had a new person to head the 63/64 Cadillac Authenticity Manual at the 2019 (Feb) Winter Board meeting. I have not heard any new updates, including out our online Board Meeting on June 13. 

Thanks Jason.  I sure like that Beldon Blue 63 CDV on Hemmings.  I've been watching it for some time now.  My convertible is so original and with so few miles that I'm thinking I might want to sell it and get the CDV with AC.  It's a fresh resto and if he's negotiable on price... Have you seen that car?

Take care and Happy July 4th!

Ken

I may have seen it if it has been posted for a while but don't recall it right now. Can you post a link?

Sure.  Here it is. I'd be interested in your opinion.  Many of the details that some restorers don't attend to have been addressed

Very nice, and nicely detailed. Anyone would be proud to own this car. It will be interesting to see what bidding goes up to?

I see the car is up th 38.5K wiith 2+ days left.

Wow! It sold for $53,550! 

I saw it up to 40 something the last time I checked! That's impressive.

I've checked a number of value guides, but #1 1963 DeVilles top out at less than 35k.  Bucket seats would help, but not much.  No doubt there's much more money in it than that.  The chrome bill alone on my last several restorations has exceeded 20k. Quality of the restoration and color will help.  On my last trip to Kissimmee this January, the very well done resto mod early and mid 60's Cadillacs were selling for an astounding amount, but it appears that the original cars are just holding value.

Happy 4th,

Ken

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?
