I have a white '63 with wire wheel covers also. I thought the turbine caps might be easier to maintain but when your wire caps are all polished they look great!
I agree with Ed, and use a wix filter. AC used to be the best when AC made them. AC is long gone and the AC Delco name belongs To GM SPO , I don't know what 3rd world country is making them now.
I am guilty of leaving the ingnition unlocked so you don't need a key. The keys I had were not cut right and didn't work well. I took the glove box lock out to get the numbers and had new keys made.
I had the same problem after I vacuumed the carpet. I hit the switch on the rear of console. It took awhile for me to find it. We all have those moments.
I went to a swap meet yesterday and a vender there had set of turn signal housing and bezels and lower pods. The lower pods had a light in them. Was this a late 64 change? At first I thought they where 65 turn signals but where too big to be a 65.
