Did some minor service work on this car. I think this car have spent most time indoors. Not much pitting on the moldings. Nice colours on the front emblem. One of my favorite cars. Interior is very nice. Goran
Very pretty car! It's nice to see a sedan get the attention it deserves! 68 is unique in that GM incorrectly anticipated that Congress would make protruding knobs illegal, so that's why they recessed everything and put in thumbwheels; - made changing temperature in the car a source of distraction, but it was pretty neat all the same.
I have a 68 Electra and that is definitely not a stock piece. It looks to be controlled by some type of vacuum actuator. Do you see where that vacuum hose is connected to?
I have no idea what that would be for. It is definitely not stock, and it's not aftermarket. This kind of looks like someone's idea to preheat the carb or fuel or something to try and vapourize it better so that it doesn't burn as much, I think. It's amazing it hasn't burned down. I'd get rid of it and cap it if it was my car.
No there wouldn't be, otherwise it would be loud as hell. But still, why wrap a heat source like that around a fuel line? With today's volatile fuels, it's a time bomb waiting to go off. He'd have only done better to to stuff the under hood area with rags and set a match...
I will take a closer look into this, next time i have the car in my workshop. Found some moore pictures. Not many Miles on this car. Goran
And you're able to drive the car without the upper seatbelts in Sweden? Nice condition; - it looks pretty much new, and it's evident by how clean and shiny everything is that there's a labour of love going on there.
