Nah, it's not the angle of the picture. I had the same thing with my '79 and it drove me NUTS. The last owner had replaced the rear springs and left the front ones original. If you get it on a flat surface and measure at both ends of the rocker molding, the rear will be about 1.5" higher. Lots of them have this problem, I'm extremely picky about ride height. I have my Phaeton so that the rear sits 1/4" lower than the front, it looks level but gives it a nice swaggering appearance.
Rakes are for hot rods or yard work, personally I'd have your front springs done. Still a gorgeous coupe though.  | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
