Post a pic of your RWD Caddy!

Here's a couple pics of my 77 Coupe de Ville. It will be readily apparent why I have no future as a professional photographer.

Wow! I've waited so long to see your Coupe. Beautiful, I love the yellow ones. Yours looks perfect.

I think those "outline" hood ornaments are cool as hell! Kind of like the Lincoln gunsight but for a Cadillac. Did they do that any other years?

[Benzilla]

I think they started around 1975 on the De Ville d'Elegance models, then quit after 1977.

Honestly, I think those pics are cool. The image quality makes them look like vintage ads. With a little more thought about composition, you could have shots that you would want to frame. (Try and avoid things in the background like the power lines and the telephone poles).

Nice car

Well, I don't own this...but I got to drive/wash it today at work.



1979 Sedan deVille. Black with red leather interior and a red pinstripe. 108k miles.


Mini review: (I only drove it around the parking lot at work, so forgive me, but here goes)

Between the '84 Sedan deVille I drove, and the '90 Brougham I've driven quite a bit, the '79 felt a lot more like the '90, but it was probably because they both had the leather interior (probably the exact same seat). The seats were comfy, but lacked the lateral support that my seats do, they felt wider and flatter, but not as deep as the cloth seats in that '84 (those seats were to die for!). Otherwise, the 425 provided ample low end torque, but oddly enough, it didn't feel *that* much more powerful or torquey, and the throttle responce was (obviously) not as sharp as the EFI cars. Otherwise, from memory, the car didn't feel that much different than the other 77-92 D bodies I've driven.

Here's a pic of my 1991 Brougham in Antelope Firemist. One sweet ride!

Lochenjons,

Took the pics in the hills above Malibu. If the concrete barrier was gone, you could see (through the haze) the Pacific Ocean.

Ben,

Thanks! She's not perfect by a long shot, more of a nice driver, but I'm making progress.

Brian,

The see-through ornament was introduced as standard on the 1974 DeVille/Calais and ran through 1977. D'Elegance models got the Fleetwood-style full wreath and crest.

Jay,

Thanks! Like I said, I'm no photographer, I deficiency I inherited from my dad. A fine man, rest him, but he could no more take a clear picture than pick a reliable car ('68 AMC Rebel, '78 Chevette, '81 Plymouth Horizon? I ask you.). However, someday, I will finally break down and buy a digital camera and learn how to use the thing properly. I will also learn how to use the multi-quote function on this website.

Thanks to all for the props! Keep the pics coming!

Bought my 93 Fleetwood about two years ago. Just trying to keep her up in good condition. Not much time to work on her. Or even clean her.
