Tell me, I have a 57 4 door 62 sedan which I have restored.
Does the vehicle need a return fuel line, and can the absence of one cause too much fuel intake to the carb ?

Hi Dominic,
I’m not totally shure but I think this depends upon the carburator which is installed. My 57 Sedan De Ville (6239DX) has a Rochester and only single fuel line. Maybe this helps.

Hi Dominic, the purpose of the return fuel line is to avoid in slow traffic fuel bubbles ( vapor ) at hot weather conditions, because the fuel is constantly flowing and replaced by colder fuel of the tank. The lack of return line should not cause any issue at your carburator valve ( flooding ) as long as this is in good condition.
best regards

I have a 1957 coupe de ville, when the car sits
for a couple of days I must prime the carb to
get it to start. once it starts, for a day or two no problem
in starting. also I have a glass bowl filter, and the level goes two about 25% of full when the car is off,
100% when running. any Ideas?
Thanks Mark

I’m restoring my father-in-laws 57 series 62 4 door and we’re trying to find the 2 rear bumper ends where the exhaust was originally routed – any help would be appreciated /

Original color – did the 57’s come with 2 color’s like you’re photo? my father-in-law said they only came in black and I’d like to keep it original but I’ve seen pictures where the roof was white and the body black / tks! Ed

This restoration looks fantastic, the bodywork is amazing. What sort of price would a restored vehicle like this go for?
