This AMAZING Caddie in Persian Sand is the perfect the color. When I was a kid in the 70's, A family friend had a 1963 Series 62 hard top and it was such a smooth riding, huge car that I thought was so awesome (because it was) but he used to say that "it has the turning radius of most battleships". LOL I think The Gilmore Museum is going to be a must visit destination for my family and I. GREAT VIDEO LOU.

Nice. I have a triple black 1963 Cadillac convertible and it's a beauty. Sadly, there are no more mechanics or body shops for classic cars left in Michigan. Just one or two quack places that keep your car for 2 years to do "restoration" work in the six figures. So if you own a classic car in this state, you have to have shop manual and be ready to do 100% of the work yourself!

Hi, Lou! I think your theme song for this episode would have to be "I've Got a Car in Kalamazoo"! LOL! If I'm ever in the neighborhood I'll just have to remember to pay a visit to this museum with such amazing and very well conceived exhibits (and be sure to try the Duesenburger and the Lincoln Link)! Why, I'd go there just to get a ride in this 1963 Cadillac! It's absolutely perfect for taking the tour! After this, the fins had one year left to go before they finally disappeared. BTW, I checked the Auto Color Library website (autocolorlibrary.com) and its copy of the 1963 Cadillac color chart lists Bahama Sand. I imagine the museum ought to have a Checker around somewhere, since those were made in Kalamazoo, but I don't know how well I would do trying to drive a Model T!

Lou, what was the deal with the springs in the trunk? Did the owner replace them on the Cadillac?

[@loucostabile]

Hi John, As I understand it the Museum will put some new springs on, they just happened to be back in the trunk, and I said, "Let's keep them in there, and share it's SPRING TIME!" :-) Lou

A beauty. But a Caddy with no A/C?

[@loucostabile]

Hi Billace 90, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this one. Yep, there is no A/C. Lou

[@dlwatib]

This would not have been unusual for a convertible in 1963. It was felt to be unnecessary when you could put the top down. A/C was still a pretty expensive option, maybe $500 on a car with a base price of $5,000.

they were suppose to build a muscle car museum next to ford dealership display in spring 2020 but looks like they havent broken ground yet?

[@loucostabile]

Thank you for sharing.

[@wmalden]

Tell us about the engine in that Cadillac, Lou. Car guys want to know.

[@loucostabile]

It's a BIG one :-)

[@loucostabile]

I couldn't lift it by myself either :-)

[@lightmarker3146]

Only in America!

[@loucostabile]

Hi lightmarker, Happy to share this America car with you :-) Lou

[@martiansatemybuick]

Frost gold?

[@martiansatemybuick]

she was orginally Matadour red

[@loucostabile]

Could be.

Cadillacs always had the best looking fins and looked like they were built for Royalty. 63s are special, no series 75 were made in 63.

Hi David, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car, and thanks for sharing your thoughts, Lou

[@dlwatib]

I believe you are thinking of 1965, not 1963. Cadillac did offer the Series 75 in 1963 same as the rest of the lineup, but in 1965 the Series 75 on offer was a carryover with unchanged styling from 1964, made more acute by the complete makeover of the rest of the lineup. In 1963 there were 795 of the 75 limousines and 680 of the 75 sedans produced.

[@deadbeatproz]

Never saw a caddy with roll up windows.

[@loucostabile]

No A/C in this one either. Seems to be the person wants the class with out the cash.

[@dlwatib]

That manual handle was just for the vent window. The rest of the windows are power. At 6:38 you can see the four power window buttons on the door.

[@Smartzenegger]

This car still looks quite al lot like a '59.

[@celestinocordero3727]

$$??

[@loucostabile]

No idea.

[@ThePrissy11]

This caddy has no a/c???

[@loucostabile]

Nope.

[@dlwatib]

Too bad they don't have original equipment wheels. The wire wheels are OK, but the rest of the car appears to be a survivor in original condition.
