When I purchased my 63 Series 62 Convertible a couple of years ago the previous owner was not very studious when it came to cleaning. I brought the car home and cleaned it top to bottom. The interior came pretty darn clean but the top was so badly stained and the isinglass badly scratched I resigned myself to replace the top.
Well as time has gone by I have removed all the scratches in the isinglass by carefully polishing. I thought I'd give cleaning one more try with a soap bar from the 1893 called FELS-NAPTHA. The results were nothing short of amazing!
First attempt trying to clean with convertible top cleaner when first purchased 2 years ago,

Second attempt this weekend with FELS-NAPTHA
Almost as good as new. Look how white the stitching came out.
Even removed the greasy stains where he didn't fold the top properly.

I have noticed that after I drive for 5-10 miles or more and then shut off the car, it hesitates when I go to start? Anyone experience this before and if so, what was the fix?Continue

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?

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!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks
