I recently brought in an original, unrestored 1963 Indiana license plate and posted on another thread and it was suggested we post pictures of our vintage, antique or personalized plates we run on our 1963/64 Cadillacs. 

I will start this off by showing a full rear shot of my 64 Coupe de Ville with an original 1964 North Carolina license plate.  In NC you can run a correct vintage plate as long as you keep the current license plate and registration in the car. Unlike some states they are not linked.  My plate is like new and believe it was restored.  I bought it so long ago now I can't remember!

If you have a unique plate on your 63/64 Caddy please share! Maybe we will run these in a future newsletter.

Here's my 64 NY Plate

 Very cool plate.  Neat to see the NY World’s Fair promoted.

Very nice Fleetwood! I don't see many of those on the page. Nice and bright taillights too! I need to do some work on mine to brighten them up. Clean ground and some fresh bulbs are in order...

Oh, and nice plate!

Thanks! I replaced the lenses with repros and also sprayed the inside of the housings with chrome spray paint in addition to cleaning up the sockets. Seemed to help a lot.

That can help a lot. I did a batch of the 63 tail lamps last year and will do a batch of 64's at some point later this year! Here is a before and after with the 63 tail lamp.

How important is the gasket that is in that housing? My gasket are present, but not in good shape by any means. I have been wanting to spray my TL lenses as the photo above, but I dont want the gasket to crumble as I know it will!

Are there repops that I can use?

Here is the correct year CA plate currently on my de Ville. It is not the original plate of the car.  The Texas plate below was from my first de Ville that I had in the 1980s.

My reservoir is a little low. Any recommendations on my purchase of refill fluid? There are likely new fluids and I’d like to buy the right product. Thanks. Continue

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
