Hi
Does anyone have a set of mud flaps for a 63 ?

I don't think mud flaps were standard, or optional equipment for the 63.

Hi Russ
You're right in but it could be that there are some that fit in a 63

You could possibly install a set on the front only but it would be impossible to mount a set on the rear with the fender skirts and all.

You're probably down to an old universal set with a Cadillac logo that would've been available for the 80s cars.  Even then, you'd likely have to drill holes in the wheel opening stainless moulding to mount them.

In my opinion, it would just look cheesy and spoil the lines of the car.

Can see what you mean, maybe it'll look stupid

This thread reminded me of the cool photo we featured in the Nov 2015 1963/64 Cadillac Chapter Newsletter from Oct 1, 1963 with the debut of the 1964 Cadillac at Martin Pollard's Casa de Cadillac in Sherman Oaks, CA.  Note the Curb Feelers/Curb Finders that were in vogue especially back in the day of the white wall when you wouldn't want to scuff them up!

Mom had curb feelers on her 46 Sedan.  Worked very well.

I've got curb feelers on my '61.  I get more comments from people on the feelers and fuzzy dice than on anything else on the car.
