When I get some new shoes for my 64 Fleetwood, I'd like to recondition the rims. 

I'd thought of getting them powder coated, and still plan to eventually, but the $700 quote I received shunted that for the time being as that money can go elsewhere on the car. That being said, I'd like to still get the rims wire brushed and painted. 

Most would just paint them flat black, but I know they were not that color from the factory. Is there a factory color out there that I can match to? Even a name?

I know on the Ford/Lincoln side, it was Dove Gray. 

Thanks all!

They were Dove Grey. 

I wonder if it was the same color as Ford. That is interesting!

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!

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
