1987 Cadillac DeVille review from North America
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing rides like a Cadillac, especially the 88' Deville. Well, okay, the Coupe has to be the ultimate with only 2 doors. But, it has only 2 doors.
My issue is with the driver's seat. The back portion of the seat has been leaning further and further away from the steering wheel. I'm almost lying down to drive this bad boy. The portion I sit on could be firmer, as well. Of course, GM makes their seats a quarter inch different for every car year, so good luck finding a nice, 21st century Cadillac driver seat that would fit an 88' DeVille.
Does anyone in America know of a place that can provide a driver seat for a 88' DeVille (in blue)? Yes, it needs to have all the power attachments. Junk Yards are welcome to let me know if a fairly decent seat (let's aim high and make it a blue seat) comes along.
Holla' at a brother in Alexandria, VA at MDantley@YAHOO.COM.
General comments?
THis car is very quick, nimble, but brakes for 88' aren't what they are now.
