The Seat Are Done!

Tony,
The leather came from SMS Auto Fabrics. It's a little pricey, but the leather and hole patters and shapes are perfect. (I believe that SMS has some of the the original Cadillac leather dies. It sure looks like it). After placing the order, which you have to pay in advance, I received my leather in about 2 months.
I don't know who the upholsterer is as he was subcontracted through my body shop. But, I will find out and let you know.
As an aside, I'm a bit worried about scratching up the leather (my wife has two miniature schnauzers that must go everywhere with her and their nails will do terrible damage to the glove leather). Do you have any advice on clear plastic seat covers? (I can't believe I even have to ask that question..but you pick your battles. ;-)
Cadillac had a clear cover as an option in 1964, but of course NOS/OEM covers would almost certainly not be serviceable, if you can even find one.

Good point about who I would be saving the interior for...the next owner? As I've instructed my wife, there will be no next owner as I intend to be buried in my Deville! (I know that it's selfish to deprive someone of enjoying the car down the road, but if I'm going to Heaven (or Hell, as the case may be), I'm goin' there in style!)

How much did that run you altogether if you don't mind my asking? Thanks!

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?
