Trivia Question 19 - What General Insignia is Missing on the Eldorado and Fleetwood 60 Special?

We haven't handed out any cigars lately so I have one that I "relearned" today from a visitor with a 63 Eldorado. 
So the question is there is a piece of general insignia not related to a specific body style that is missing on the 1963 and 1964 Eldorado and Fleetwood 60 Special but is found on the other body styles.

I can give some hints but will leave it a bit open to see if we have any super sleuths.

I never noticed this before, but just by searching pics it looks like there is no Cadillac script in the grille on those models.

Nevermind. I'm blind

Alright, going for Cadillac script again but it's missing from the glove box.

Bingo! No Cadillac Scripts on the glove box door of the 63/64 Eldo or 60 Special. I guess they decided it wasn't worth it to drill thru that nice looking steel plate with Narra/Baku wood inlay. 
                  So, MR KURT.... HAVE A CIGAR!!!!

Also, the 1963 Eldorados have neither a V nor a crest on the deck lid.

Charles that is true but they do have ELDORADO in block lettering on the trunk lid to designate the body style, as does the 1963 FLEETWOOD.  So in a way you are correct in that the general 1963 V & crest insignia is not there, but there is insignia for that particular body style. In 1964 the Fleetwoods (including Eldorado) would adopt the wreath on the hood and trunk, and block lettering would be moved to the rear bottom section of the front fenders.

Regardless, Charles also gets a Cigar!!

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!

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…
