New to Classic Olds

Hello everyone. Newbie to the Classic Olds site as I have now obtained a survivor 63 Holiday Coupe. I will have to do some TLC to the body and interior but it runs great and has a lot of potential. I am a cruiser having a 57 Bel Air but looking forward to getting the 63 HC into the cruise-in mix and car shows. So I will be looking to the members of Classic Olds for some guidance on sources for parts and repairs such as a rear bumper and interior materials.


Looking forward to your help and guidance.

Welcome aboard, love the 63's. Rear bumpers for that year car are not reproduced and are as hard as hens teeth to find not rusted out, they all rust out around the hangers. You might see if a shop can weld and fill yours if it's not to bad some shops can do wonders or try and find a desert car.....Tedd

Welcome! 63 was a very good year. Styling was simple and classic. Not a whole lot of chrome, clean lines. Owned a conv back in the day.

With a name like Stewart Werner you need a set of aftermarket Stewart Warner gauges for that ride!

The rear bumper on mine was patched and replated before I got the car.
