I had a 71 Coupe Deville, it was in beautiful condition and still gave the ride of a new car. I've been itchin' for another boat sometime. They're still out there at reasonable prices. A nice anti PC ride.

Wow - that looks like quite a survivor - nice find!
Can't believe they put the plaid in a Caddy though - first time I have seen it. Usually that was seen in the smaller cars that were marketed towards young buyers. Looks like Caddy WAS aiming for the younger crowd then also...
Should definetly keep that one in original condition!
Didn't you get a Caprice a few months ago?

Yes, " Lady"....I added the 74 Metallic Green Caprice convertible just recently. The more garish the color, the better for me !

You must have one heck of a garage for these. Or are you renting an airplane hangar?

Sold the blue one ( '75 Buick LeSabre) at Fall Hershey. Got a lead on a replacement ????
A " Horizon Blue" Delta 88 convertible would be nice.

It's gaudy but it's gorgeous. Can't tell you the last time I saw a pimpmobile like that.
Back in 02, a low-mile 76 CDV showed up as part of an estate. Saw it sitting by the side of the road looking a little shabby, but I stopped to look and realised the interior was perfect and the paint would clean up nicely. It was a honey beige with no vinyl top and matching leather gut. The only trouble was it had been parked for close to ten years and would not run, hence the $1200 asking price.
I came close enough to buying that I got a shop manual for it, but I had just bought the green Starfire and was still sorting it out. I figured I didn't need another one that was going to need carb, gas tank and lines, brakes and lord only knows what else.
One of my many regrets.

When I was a kid my Dad was a Caddy Man. Every 2-3 years he got a new one. My favorite was the 76' Fleetwood Brougham triple black with leather. I learned to drive in that thing. He bought his last one in 79' and hated it. Never owned since then.
Very nice ride! Man is it big.
