So... it's not an SVX, but... My new ride (Large pics!)
Right so, instead of buying that SVX that the guy was trying to shaft me out of an extra $600.. I was given a car by my uncle. My father was on the phone with him when the discussion occurred, and he told me it was a '96 DeVille.
Well... he was wrong. It turns out, what I now own is a '94 Fleetwood Brougham. A much cooler, rear-wheel-drive Florida-Approved car. Pics below. Sitting in the driveway for now... Interior shot. New starter sitting on passenger floorboard. Much easier to do now that I know it's not a Northstar... Eventually I will replace the top of that dash, it's cracked. Nice 'n roomy... Aww yeah... way better than a Northstar. The top needs to be cleaned a little, but it's in great shape. It had just started to drizzle as I started taking photos. You can't have a thread discussing a Cadillac without a hood ornament shot. The world would stop, honest. _________________________ It may not be an SVX, but it's honestly one of my all-time favorite cars.

When you finally do get your SVX, you can park it in the Cadillac's trunk.

Re: So... it's not an SVX, but... My new ride
you'll need one of these:
i'd also recommend modding the turn signal so it never shuts off.

Re: So... it's not an SVX, but... My new ride
LOL @ the hat. That made my day.
Yeah, it needs very little really. I just have to put that little trim piece on the nose, and a bit of leather polish for the wheel. Also, the dash is cracking in a few spots from our lovely Florida sun, but I can fix that. My vision is actually bad enough where I can get a perscription to tint the windshield, so that'll help too.

Re: So... it's not an SVX, but... My new ride
Yeah that happened to my mom's '92 Park Avenue she owned a few years ago.
Fortunately I know about the trunk assist, so I shouldn't have that problem. Then again.. my uncle may have disabled it on his own, as he has 3 kids.

Re: So... it's not an SVX, but... My new ride
Is that the 6litre v8? I had an el dorado with that, and an mpg sentinal on the dash, and it was always great fun to mash the gas and watch it read 3 or 4. Of course that's back when gas was under a buck a gallon, now that would probably make you cry.
Comfy ride though, take care of it, and it will last you at least another 3 weeks!

Re: So... it's not an SVX, but... My new ride
It's the 5.7 LT1 used in the Caprice/Impala/C4 Corvette.
It's got the MPG guage too. It's almost worth black taping it so I don't have to watch it. LOL
