1979 Cadillac DeVille Coupe review from North America

"I loved it, but all cars die sometime"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Brakes, transmission, ac, radio... all the expected stuff from such an old car.

General comments?

I loved this car. Bought it brand new in 1979, I was much younger then. I remember showing off in it and spending days and nights waxing it and making it look in top condition. Then, many years later I grew tired of it, put it in my garage and bought new cars. It sat in my garage until two years ago, when I decided I'd try using it again. Then I fixed it up and fell in love with it again. In fact, I decided to sell my other cars, a Dodge Monaco and an Oldsmobile Ciera. MY Caddy was my pride and joy.

Last week, I left it out overnight and some teenagers came and burned it. Just like that, my Caddy was gone. Cadillacs are cars you can become best friends with, they are big American sedans. My Caddy could've survived another ten years had it not met such a cruel death.
