1975 Cadillac DeVille sedan review from North America
"Very sleek, powerfull luxury liner... strong silent type!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window wipers/washers work... but under their own terms, sometimes they wash the windshield for me automatically, (when I turn left or hit the brights) which is kinda nice really, then when I really need them I have to pull over and wait it out.
The electronic ignition module went out just after I got it, took me forever to figure out that was the problem, when it goes out it just quits, never to start again, had to push it from a 4 lane hi-way, me and all the people I made mad.
Air leveling system quit, had to put normal air shocks on it.
General comments?
Bought car from original owner who still had original sales papers for it, has 121,000 original miles, never wrecked and NO rust. Car is in very good condition. It has the de'Elegance package and the interior is nearly flawless. It needed general tune-up stuff to run good, have to get a new choke still. Car rides like a dream, 80 feels like 30!! A/C still cold, everything works good. More than enough power, and very quiet inside on the road no matter the weather. I love and have always loved these cars,... OPEC loves me back!
