New Radiators from Auto City Classic...any dealings??
Fellow Members,
The self starter has an advertiser that has direct fit exact reproduction radiators. They come with a larger 2.5" core and state they will cool better than the original. My current original radiator is leaking around the top seam and seems to be spreading the length of the radiator...while not bad at the moment I can only assume I'm riding on borrowed time! Initially they come unpainted but will do that for an upcharge.
Here are the details.... They gave me a delivered price of $290.00 I know I could send out the original but I'm likely going to spend more to do that. I'm intrigued by the additional cooling capability as I live in the Midwest and the summers can be brutal. In the end I want to do whatever is best for my grand ole lady!!

Tony, Kevin is asking if anyone has had experience with Auto City Classic and their radiators, and if if so, good or bad? He is asking for feedback. He asked me about the company and their radiators & I indicated I have zero experience with the company or aftermarket radiators and suggested he post his question here. If someone has had experience with this company or perhaps other brand aftermarket radiators, specs, etc. please provide feedback.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
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,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
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?
