View Full Version : my Grille... RAMAIR57 12-09-03, 05:45 PM I just noticed that on my 92 deville, there is a cadillac emblem on the center of the grille, in addition to a hood ornament. Is this standard equipment, or is it something custom - it looks very stock. Anyone know about this; it looks nice and I havent seen it on any other Caddy? Andrew60SP 12-09-03, 08:06 PM The Touring Sedan has the emblem on the grill, but no hood ornament. RAMAIR57 12-10-03, 12:34 PM Hmm, I wonder why mine has both; Im pretty sure its not a touring sedan. Any ideas? brougham 12-10-03, 02:17 PM Touring sedans had different door handles then the normal chrome ones and are painted.
My guess would be that the old grille got broken somehow and that's what they found as a replacement or that someone else who owned it saw that grille and liked it better. DeVillish 12-10-03, 03:31 PM ooo, that would be just what i would need for my DTC project. If i still do it. Andrew60SP 12-10-03, 09:48 PM The grill on the Touring Sedan and regular Deville are pretty much the same, just that the touring model had some of the crosshatches black, while the regular Deville was all chrome. The emblem just slaps right on, so the last owner may have just added it.
Devillish, the grill is different on yours, so the emblem might not fit. Check Out My Grille....... DeVillish 12-14-03, 12:32 PM yeah i know.....but, i need basicly a new front end to fix the body damage wonder how hard it would be to put like a 91 92 93 hood/grill on.

did u add a nightvision system to your car? or do you just like the look of that specific grill? Andrew60SP 12-14-03, 10:18 PM did u add a nightvision system to your car? or do you just like the look of that specific grill?
Nightvision wasn't out yet for that style. I think that circle is just where the emblem use to be. Stoneage_Caddy 12-14-03, 11:23 PM devillish
you need to come out to land o lakes , there is a touring coupe de ville in the yard up the street with no body damage , even has a facory wing on the trunklid , might be able to help you out getting the parts im freinds with the owner DeVillish 12-15-03, 05:42 PM factory wing???? i gota see this. could you snap some pics for me maybe? What year is it? Andrew60SP 12-15-03, 06:04 PM Touring Coupes were made in '86 and '87, and had a small decklid spoiler.
Post some pics cause they're pretty damn rare! just liked the look of the grille...trimmed out the emblem. I GET TO DRIVE FAST EVERYNIGHT.....LEGALLY DeVillish 12-15-03, 08:09 PM aww mine is a 90, still take some pics. Stoneage_Caddy 12-16-03, 09:09 AM i sure will , i think it runs too , you should buy it and get rid of the KIA killer
ill go out there saturday , it had flush headlights, no plastic body cladding and was black in color ,and i belive it had a airbag, and the body panels are perfect outside the paint im sure its parts would fit yours , get the decklid quarter panels and all that other stuff and have macco or econo paint it for 150 bucks
let me know if you are interested ill try to talk him into keeping it out of the crusher , but its been there for awhile (6 mos at least) but it is mostly
maybe this weekends meet should be at the junkyard to pull parts off the rare deville for devillish DeVillish 12-16-03, 12:40 PM yeah try to keep it from being crushed If i dont work this weekend that could be a good plain, although i wont have any cash to spend on me, gota get stuff for others first, damn x-mass. Fine out how much he'll sell the whole thing for, or atleast the spoiler. I would really hate to see it get crushed, and if i still have the kia killer and i get the touring coupe, i'll just take the 4.5 outa the killa, its only got 61k miles on it.
oh and if hes thinking of crushing it, he'd only get what like, maybe 50 bucks, i'll give him like 100 or 200 to take it off his hands. Must save touring coupe, it will be the caddy christmass merical! | |
