I'm Insane. Bought A 1971 Coupe DeVille

[Brillo]

Very cool!

Insane? Nah, but then I have a 1960 Series 62.

Bastardo! That's one beautiful caddy!

It's a shame American cars are such crap and don't last!

1960 was a beautiful year. Much better than '59, IMO. Nice ride.

Ooochee Mama! What a ride! Simply stunning.

I'm really enjoying this car right now. Why? I guess it's something to tinker with and something nostalgic. I remember pumping gas into these old Cadillacs when I got my first job at age 15. There is something about these old sleds that brings out the car guy in everyone.

Just bagged OEM fender skirts in black for $9.87 each on Ebay!!!!!!!!!

I was quoted $255 from most vendors. This is my Hester I guess?

Cool deal man. Fix it up, and drive it in style.

What a great car, shame about the rust. I've had a couple of 76 Sedan deVilles with the 425 motor, absolutely loved them and the kids still really freak out over big blocks. I always wanted a 69 Coupe, that's the one for me.

Nice car... love the old Caddys.

Good stuff.

My uncle had a huge Cadillac coupe in the 70s, it was his present to himself when he go back from Viet Nam. His had those little lights on the fenders that told you the blinkers were working, though. Sucker was a whale.

The one you have pictured is a '68, but it's one hell of a lot better-looking than a '69. (IMO, of course).

I won the Ebay auction for the fender skirts! $9.85 each!!! I was quoted $225 from a few vendors for the pair. What a deal. I received them yesterday and was totally surprised by the condition they are in. They look next to brand new. Here are a few shots of them installed on the car. I have to replace the rear brake lines as they are leaking from rusting out. I'm getting it registered today and then off to the muffler shop for a nice set of dual exhausts.

Sweet, those look cool.

[nostatic]

that's called a "starter condo" in SoCal.

He's getting the band back together.

Great find!

Nice car. You could test your bodywork skills and turn it into the "Deathmobile"!

Sorry, I meant to say '67. There was beer involved in my typo
