1970 Cadillac DeVille SEDAN DEVILLE review from North America
"A great living room on wheels!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is a 3rd owner. I purchased it for $1200.00, which I considered a bargain. I have replaced the water pump and radiator. It needs a new exhaust, and will need a paint job. The car is 33 years old, not bad in my opinion.
General comments?
What can I say, I'm in love. She gets 9 miles per gallon. I drive it as my daily driver. This is the way I look at it. I would rather drive this and be comfortable, than have a car payment for a new car that I really don't want. These cars have soul. They are real cars, not the junk that comes off the assembly lines these days. The only thing that could make her better is if she was a convertible. She is gold, and although I don't like the color, will keep her original. Highly recommend any older Cadillac, although this is my favorite so far, and have had many.
