Heres my 97' Deville. I bought it about 3 months ago from a private party with 127,000 miles on it. I owned it about 2 months with coolant issues to find out the head gaskets were leaking coolant in the calenders (not cheap). despite everyone telling me to just get a new car at that point, I decided to replace the engine with one that has lower miles. Best choice ever, I love this car! You cant find a car with that much power and get around 27mpg. With that said, heres some pics from after a wash.

1990 Cadillac Fleetwood 4.5l V8. 148,781 miles
Im 17, and this is my first car. Got it for $400 2 days ago. Runs great. Transmission is in great shape. She'll even smoke the tires.. the paint is good their are few scratches here and thier nothing big. That Immitation Convertible top is in bad shape from the sun. The car has spent its whole life of 19 years in Oklahoma.
Everything works except its missing a radio and the Digital Fuel Control and Climate Control show a C on them and dont do anything else. The hood is up for the bad alternator. My cousin has the other 3 hubcaps that are missing. Hopefully get those shortly.

Ill try to post more pics soon.

Hey guys... here is a pic of my baby, '95 Sedan Deville. It had 85k when I bought it from a lady I know about a year ago, has 93k now. Before that it was driven all of 5K miles in 5 years (it was her husband's car who passed). It apparently has a remanufactured transmission in it, the motor is really clean and she runs great except for a small oil leak. Oh and the Service Ride Control but from what I hear it happens on a lot of Caddys.

The body is in good shape except for a SMASHED DOOR caused by a hit-and-run driver about 4 months ago.. it's not in these pics.

Now forgive me I know this is a FWD topic but I wanted to post pictures in memory of my (deceased) 88' Brougham... she was torn apart by a shady mechanic and never put back together. He took the cylinder heads and everything off to replace a head gasket and left everything out in the rain for months on end. Every single part was full of mud my engine was rusted out and it ended up in the car graveyard

.

Anyways great looking rides you guys keep it up!

Don't worry about the oil leak. Its a 14 year old car (soon at least) and it is just "sweating" as I call it. Mine leaves about a drop a night on my driveway. I really like the wheels on the '95 though, I don't think I have ever seen those ones before. That is also some seriously dark tint you have on there, 5%?

Mattillac · #**230** (**permalink**) 07-18-08, 02:42 PM

I can actually see where the oil's leaking from, I think a friend of mine called it the oil cooler line. It's a metal line that has a rubber-like sheath around it and runs into the radiator. Might just be an o-ring or something...

The tint is 5% on the back and 35% on the front.. that's the darkest we can have it here in Texas. I've seen darker riding around but I don't see how they can pass inspection.

It looks like your Fleetwood has had a rough life, but it definitely has a lot of potential!

RaginViper · #**235** (**permalink**) 07-19-08, 02:59 PM

Some places are little ruff but the body is actually very straight.. only 3 dents.
I only paid $400 for the car.. some dude needed the money to pay for a fine to keep out of jail..
she's got 148,780miles on her. Not too bad for a first car...

Wow, for that model, mileage, condition, and year, that is a bargain! You should congratulate yourself every time you crank it up, sir.

That car would look beautiful with spoke hubcaps and wide whitewalls. the truck decal can also be found for cheap on eBay if you're patient enough.

Clean car! In case you are wondering, that color is Dark Cherry Metallic, which is one of the nicest colors offered on the old Devilles. PM me and I'll give you some tips on REALLY making that paint look new.
