I want to install lap seat belts in the back seat of my 65 Parisienne Convt. I am not sure how to do this. Would like to know location to drill holes to anchor them.

Started to disassemble the seat today, not knowing anything about the black art of auto upholstery. What a dirty job, Kevin..you would have absolutely died from the dust! Almost bare base, and a tiny bit of the overall huge sponge Toffee pile. Stripping the back, the foam at the top was still soft. The...

Thanks to Kevin (70 SS Acadian), I now own a genuine 6 way power 67 Strato Bench! It will be some work to restore, and probably cost stupid money, but It will be a great project for next winter. I'll document everything. The seat, although completely dry rotted (most of the foam actually blew out on the Q...

Just received my floor shift 67 tilt from good member Dave (DaveJ). And just like I did when I was eight years old, I immediately went to tearing it apart. With some finessing, got the signal assembly out. Now how does the tilt collar slide off. I see no screws or clips? The collar is steel and the tilt body...

Besides where they are made, what is the differences between a US made glovebox door and a Canadian made door? Is the latch different too? When I gutted the interior of the 2+2 I had an excellent US dash that I installed. I used the Canadian door and latch, but had to shim the latch so the door would close in...

I am going through the process of rebuilding my car's doors. The front door window rear window guide has broken and I think it is causing the window to bind when it is being wound up. It has created other issues with alignment of the window. The photo below shows what it looks like. It has two rollers. A rep...

I am curious as to whether the cloth upholstery in an American Bonneville is the same or similar to the material used on our Canadian built Grande Parisienne?

Hi guys. Have a question about a front split bench seat. Another member offer one to me a while back but to ship to Australia out of Vancouver was $2500+.

So, thanks very much to the generosity of 66GrandeGuy I can start on my conversion from oil and temperature lights to gauges.
