Stick around, I sold my 63 in 2009 but still use it as my handle and avatar! Your experience could be of use to current and future owners.

If you're not worried about originality Clarks makes a beautiful carpet kit, all pre-cut, binded edges, & ready to install, including tire cover. Makes the trunk match the rest of the car. Never cared for those floppy, wrinkley, dirty looking factory mats. IMO they seem out of place in a top of the line luxury vehicle of the era(sorry). My Riv is dark metallic grey w black interior & the black carpeted trunk w black cardboard give the car a more integrated look. If it wasn't raining I'd take & send some pics, but I can guarantee satisfaction w Clarks' product.
I also used one of their kits on my 63 and was very pleased.

Tex,I think I have parts for a 59 Chevrolet.
I doubt much would be interchangeable but am no expert.

I am looking to convert my non-ac LeSabre and add air conditioning. This conversion could range from a full factory refit to a simple underdash addition depending on what I can find. I am interested in any applicable parts from individual to complete systems. Of special interest are factory in-car air outlets and housings, controls, three groove damper and water pump pulleys, fan and fan clutch, compressor and alternator brackets, let me know what you have available.

The 64 SF is my favorite model. I think this one looks real sad for $27,000. Agree with most of the nits picked but the general condition shown looks rough, high mileage, interior problems, top problems. If they put chevy wheels on it to match an incorrect bolt pattern what did they do to the back? This model is also very trim intensive, the rear tail panel is damaged and I would not be surprised if all the complex diecast rocker trim is too.
Another example of someone trying to sell a car for a high price without bothering to clean it or take any decent pictures. I hope I'm wrong and the first one to see it in person finds it to be a great car.

Ran into a slight hiccup. One of my fears that I have been putting off forever (procrastination is my downfall). The motor mounts have been welded onto the stub frame, and NOT in the correct place. I have no idea why this would have happened, maybe the po was planning a motor swap? I knew they werent right, and kept ignoring. Now its time to pay the piper and get them relocated. Slight setback. Also I left the dr. side sheet metal off for ease of installation, but came to the conclusion last night that I am going to take the pass. side off and remove the core support for ease of motor install. Just a few bolts, its all been restored so that part should be easy peasy.
Been there, but I was able to leave the fenders in place. That sucks about the motor mounts.

I am impressed as hell with someone who would take that 50 million dollar car and go race it for fun.

This looks like it was never used. 2 15/16" in diameter, "STIMSONITE" stamped on outside. "GUIDE LAMP 914149" and "1341" stamped on inside edge. Would love to know make, year and model, TIA for any help.

Probably a long shot - these two handles are similar but not the same. Both 5" long, same spindle hole, similar screw-in bezels but different designs. One is nickel plated and one is chrome plated. TIA

On 9/8, Seller increased price to $30,000.
Inverse logic strikes again, will it work?

Cool rare car, wonder what the reserve is. Yet another example of a factory A/C car that "needs a charge". The value would go up substantially if the seller got it working.

Last year someone brought me a box of assorted glass lens from the 1930's. I was able to identify the majority of them through a google search of the number on the lens.
I was able to ID one lens this way, a 1947-48 Ford parking light. The other one will be in "What is it?" forum.

Beautiful, always wanted on of these.

Thanks for the help - and WOW David! The two lenses I have appear to be a tailight and parking light, both fairly small.

I recently picked up a couple of old glass lenses that I want to sell on ebay and ran in to the same problem I have had before - how to identify their use. I have been helped on the "What is it?" forum many times but I was wondering if there are any online databases for lens ID specifically. TIA for any input.

Looks like a regular 4 door sedan, not a limo.

My tires are supposed to be in production this week at Diamondback so in anticipation I jacked her up and took my old ones off. I plan to have all the balance weights put on the back of the wheels so I removed the old weights on the fronts and cleaned up the outer edges with some coarse sandpaper and strong detergent. Shortly I will use grease remover then spray bomb the wheels black. Comment - this on the floor work does not react well with my almost 75 year body, took me two days to recover!
Interesting find - I was told the standard for '60 was black painted wheels for cars with wheel covers, and all of mine are black. Three of the wheels are vented with the center attached at four points to the outer rim but one is welded solid all the way around and it is showing red paint peeking through the current black coat. I assume this is an older wheel - ???
