    What was everyone's first car?

    Gotta start somewheres... Our family's kids (me included) started on a handme down car, that luckily was manual transverse 4, late 70s Plymouth Horizon. ..What fun, lemme tell ya! You think you had a bad car to start with?? Nope. In cold Minnesota winters while going to Mpls. Art Institute...

    former Biarritz owner here!

    Hi guys, new here, but posted on the site already I currently have an 89 Firebird convertible (rare) and 1988 Sedan Deville with several cost options. The reason I post here is I love the 84/85 droptop Eldos and even the Biarritz stainless steel capped beauties as well, having owned one, sadly...

    Model Number cars

    I have a major gripe in that Cadillac Motor Division and likely more of GM may follow suit, claim that in dropping the namesakes [model names] instead opting for letter models, has a better public association in that you are SUPPOSEDLY needing to use the word Cadillac when referring to any of...

    Cadillac Superbowl Commercial - "Tunnel"

    Sadly, unless someone's wardrobe malfunctions, I'm likely to miss it, just not a sports minded-male hehe Anyway, it's nice to note recently Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin was recenlty (several months back, in fact) on radio's Rockline show, what he thought of Cadillac's TV ads featuring Rock n'...

    Lack of Caddie people

    Ya know, I used to read Custom Rodder, and boy, what a magazine that was! Anyway, I think Cads started to make people think when they started producing some of the world's most powerful FWD cars ever, and made luxury and performance sync up in the domestic market again. During the late 70 and...

    HELP me ( the DUMMY )!!!!!!!! PLEASE !!!!!!

    My own sim-con, pictured in a previous post I just submitted, has some seemingly worn spots, I think cloth-style sim tops need total reconditioning like 70s landau roofs need and as seen on some car-themed current TV, some were taken off in favor of a restored to hardtop form. I don't like to go...

    1988 Deville looking for selling price

    Consider the age and that mileage. There also seems to be a new-car curse that I observed at one of the online car review sites. Readers report on any variety of car and their experiences noted over the ownership time. I forget the site at the moment as it's been some time, but do recall people...

    first,and last of a dying breed

    I did hear an odd, low noise, sounding more like the fans were still running. I just can't be sure what drained mine, but opted for a 770CCA battery backup -Bill

    grill emblem

    I'm not as tuned in on the late 90/2000 models, though being a devout 79-85 Eldo fan, for the later models, I'd switch loyalties to the STS/SLS Sevilles. You can certainly say hood ornaments on the actual hood appear a thing of the past though. I had ornament theft on my 82 Cutlass If I can...

    first,and last of a dying breed

    So no one gets too confused, you are referring to the Coupe Deville and not the downsized Deville lines, except in the first part of your post. That ran from 1985 to 1988. I own a simcon 4 door Sedan Deville '88 and a main reason I came to the site. The small Deville with only the two doors...

    1988 Deville looking for selling price

    I bought two 1988s last summer, one bombed, the other looking to finish up in the months ahead, needing a replacement transaxle. They were both bought used here, on eBay, no less, for $500 +/- If the car is near mint with good miles, then they have been offered from $2500 upto $5000 with less...

    1980s to 90 Allante

    I know it's not really a Deville and has it's own set of fans, Still at heart, a Cadillac, usurping Eldorado as the flagship in the late 80s. My question I was waiting to pose in my first thread here is, since the engine is transverse, and as Cadillac's 'tuned port' engine, What are the odds...

He sent me an instruction sheet via snail mail AND suggestions for localized service. E&G is one of the premier...

    grill emblem

    Another thing to make note of is the hood ornament's age old fixture atop the hood was changed in later years to the grill itself to supposedly cut theft I suppose and aid wind tunnel numbers, though that's an educated guess on my part, the problem with theft is very real, I replaced my Eldo's...

    91 Deville, some little compresser thingie keeps running when car is off.

    Just recently my new Deville sucked the battery dry, with a new charged one put in, the electric fans came on! I don't recall the key position, but the air ride compressor is exactly as described, good call... make sure the components are in good shape. My feeling is that turning the ignition...

    Lack of Caddie people

    I was turned on to this site by someone at CarDomain pointing it out. I found that the closest to getting some custom Cadillacs in public view on line, though still severely limited. Seems I need to host my pics to show them off here, but I'd like to see as many custom ideas as possible, whether...
