I believe the shake up at Chrysler, which "ended" the Exner era, left the 1963 and 1964 as designer "orphans". Exner's hands are all over it, but he was quite vocal about how the 1962 had become a "plucked chicken". So how much more would he deride a lack of fins on the 1963? I dunno. He...

Mine is slightly off-topic, but it's a pace car! !963, and still a reliable car to drive. I would love to take it on the Indy oval in a parade of years and years of pace car survivors! How do we get that done? :)

Many men generally mention and admire "headlights." Nice to hear a different point of view! :)

I went to a car show and had a great time with folks admiring my 1960 New Yorker. One of those admirers was a professional photographer named Barb Tyler. She took great photos of my car and many others at the show. She has a great eye for subject, composition, and lighting. A real professional...

I found this on the Internet Archive buried in a compilation video of old TV commercials. Big machine tools, hard work, hand work, and pride in the work itself, not just the product and the profit. OK, enough of my editorializing. It's a positive promotional video showing hard working men...

This weekend... The plan at this point is that my friend and I will drive my two cars the (give or take) 300 miles on Friday morning to the show. We will be leaving from the Albany, NY area early and hope that all goes well during the 6-plus hours of take-it-easy driving. Work obligations and...

A take on this issue that shows that people who appreciate older cars are still out there. Young people collecting old cars

Your question highlights issues with all manner of things held dear by previous generations, not just our cars. Yes, there will always be "car lovers," but issues of taste and practicality generally rule. Just about every family had a piano in the house years ago. A set of fine china was in the...

Just shy of $375 including shipping with UPS back to your door.

My buddy already claimed that job. Sorry. :)

I'm happy to say that DaPoz steered me right in recommending Harmon Classic Brakes to rebuild the power brake booster in my 1963 300. They did a great job with incredible customer service. Tara and George went beyond all my expectations -- and sent the rebuilt booster back in time for me to get...

The plan is to be there with the New Yorker and my 63 300 Pacesetter. I'd say the odds are 70/30 that both cars will be there. Both will be driven there (300 miles give or take) so I'm hoping for no last minute "glitches," so to speak...

Snotty: Here you go. Some pictures I have handy. See you at Carlisle? If not, may I'll see you down the road. -- Chris

JMHO - There is the most gorgeous car in the world in my driveway. Life is good!

Anyone have a lead on 60+ year old touchup paint? I'm looking for Pacecar Blue for my 1963 300 Pacesetter convertible. Any help is much appreciated.

I'll be there with these two. See you there!

Thanks for the steer to Harmon Classic Brakes. They have been extremely helpful. My booster is off for a rebuild. I'm hoping to take the 300 to Carlisle.

Sixpactogo: I finally got it together to pull the booster. I'd say you are exactly correct. The visual evidence is compelling. It's nasty looking! Thanks for you reply and for your advice. The booster is off for a rebuild. I hope to have it back in time put the 300 together for Carlisle. Good...

That's exactly the problem with this 1963 year. It's a "shoulder year: and it's a puzzle to find what part is correct. It's frustrating. It's almost as bad as my wife's 1974 Spitfire. Triumph was in in tough financial shape at the time, and they just threw whatever parts they had laying around...

A local high school has had a car show three years now where the students are the judges for trophy awards. The weather was beautiful and brought out about 140 cars in our rural county! The show organizer (a teacher) arranges with Hemmings staff to give the student judges guidelines on what to...
