Vanderbleek's 1988 Brougham

As promised, here's pictures of my new-to-me Cadillac. She's a really great car--and in great shape, too (all that she's needed since I got her were new wipers, a headlight, and a battery charge).

This used to be my grandpa's car, until he gave it to me, and I have some really warm and fuzzy memories of the Cadillac crest, the door lights, and the wood paneling. It's sat in his garage for 15ish years now, and it shows--60k miles, and just awesome.

However, there are some things that irk me about it--one of which is a major concern...so if anyone can help with these things, it'd be great (I'm new to the car world, so bear with me if they're silly things).

The big one is the car shakes on the highway--once I get going past about 55 it gets pretty rough, moreso than I'd expect from the road and wind resistance. The rear shocks (air shocks?) were never actually hooked up until I got it--they're working fine now, but maybe that affected something? I had the tires balanced and rotated, so that shouldn't be it...the tires were sitting in one position for a long time though...I wouldn't normally worry about it, but it got to the point when I was driving it where my teeth would almost be chattering from the vibration...and that sent up a little red flag.

Little ones are things like the sun visor not staying up, and some wear on the driver's seat (don't know what I can do about that).

Overall I love the car, and plan on taking good care of it.
