I never could figure out why the longer FWB`s never had "concealed" wipers while the Deville`s had them.
I`ve always loved the body styles of the "94-"96 Deville`s and FWB`s-----both very similar---they both had a relatively short run. |
I dunno...I like the 90's Devilles, but I do not like the '94--> FWB's at all. They look so boaty. I mean, my 90 is big, but the lines are perfect. The newer ones look like a Caprice with half-deville taillights that look rediculous...lol On the whole, I think the late 80's Deville's and forward represent the new generation for Cadillacs that I don't care for too much: no/little chrome, indistinguishable, rounded lines. I mean, people are restoring up to '93 FWB's. But who will restore a '95, except maybe for the drivetrain? (And who would ever restore an '05 DTS???) In my opinion, cars have less and less character every year. Soon, there will be one car to "choose" from: a shapeless, generic "car" looking thing that everybody else drives too.
the gist....persoanlly, I don't care for the newer FWB's.
