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.

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.

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.

my grandfather had the same car. he disabled the power "trunk close assist" because everyone just wanted to slam the trunk closed.
