1975 Cadillac DeVille Coupe review from North America
"Awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Previous owner did a poor job replacing the head gasket. Had to install new ones.
Automatic climate control programmer doesn't work... trying to figure it out!
HEI module went south, but it was the original so I blame myself for not replacing it when I got the car.
Can't bring myself to cut into the dash to install a newer radio... 8-track isn't top of the line these days!
Gas gauge is pretty inaccurate below half a tank, but all older cars are!
General comments?
One of the most comfortable rides, but you still feel connected with the road.
Powerful, but you can tell it has some serious weight. Not afraid of hitting anything smaller than a school bus!
Glides down the highway effortlessly.
Other than the automatic climate control (have to manually move blend door from hot to cold) and the cruise control (some wiring caught fire sometime long before I owned it, so will have to rewire some things) all the electronic goodies work well!
