Myles,

After removing the seats and console, remove the 2 pieces of interior
chrome that are at the bottom rear of the rear windows. Finally, there
were 3 phillips head screws in my car that were approximately 4-5 inches
down from the package shelf, spaced evenly from left to right. These were
kind of difficult to find as they went directly through the carpet. The
heads of the screws were concealed by the carpet. If you look though the
trunk, you can se where they are screwed into the bracing. The panel will
then lift up and out.

Good luck.

Richard Osborne

Hi Myles,

I took the rear panel behind the rear seat backs off
my G a few years ago. As I recall, after you remove
both seat backs, there are three Phillips head screws
located along the top of the panel, one at each end
and one in the middle. I don't remember anything other
the seat backs holding the lower area of the rear
panel.

Hi All,

It's time for a new set of tires on my '64 300 Sport. The service manual
says that the wheels are 14x6K and that they take a 8.00-14 size tire. But
I noticed that the same year New Yorker uses the same wheel (14x6K) and
takes a 8.50-14 tire. What's the difference? The car currently has G78-14
bias ply tires on it from the previous owner. I don't have a clue if those
are the right size. I called some local tire stores and they couldn't
agree on weather I needed a 215/75R14 or a 225/75R14. What's the
difference there? I guess I'm just 'under-educated' when it comes to tires
and sizes.

I guess the other question that I'm looking for opinions on is if I should
stay with bias ply tires for originality or use radial ones for better
ride. I assume the radials handle better and are safer. Is that the case?
I do drive the car a bit, it's more of a driver than a show car. Is there
any drawback to radials, other than not being bone stock?

Thanks for your advise & help,

Terry Lynch

the holiday spirit will hit!)
