O.K. Chris, I will try not to take major offense to the remarks about the 75-78 Eldos. I won't disagree with you about the engines being choked down. That is...
Hi Todd, Thanks for the kind words. These cars grow on you the longer you own them (thank God they don't grow any more themselves, though)!! Throw in a...
I personally think that they are all great! It is the biggest kick for me to go to a car show and see one of these cars REGARDLESS as to the color or ...
What a deal!!!! That is kind of like winning the lottery in my book. I wanna say that I hate you for getting such a deal, but envy would be the most correct...
Hehhehheh... I love all the ostentatious styling and features of the '70s luxo-barges! When I drove Miss M to work, I was called "Pimp Daddy." And should I...
I used to have a triple black Fleetwood Brougham, leather lined, and loaded. And it WAS originally a funeral home car. It was used as the "family car" for a...
I have XM in my rides and I may want to hear '40s stuff whether I'm in my '49, my '58, my '71 or '73. Conversely, I sometimes have the Top Tracks/Big Tracks...
Just a little sidenote that was really sweet, especially considering the source: My 1-1/2 year old niece, Caroline, came home from my Sister's house in South...
Great car on ebay right now. Even though it is only a Sedan Deville, it has 411 original miles. Incredible, and love that metallic green!! Wish I had the...
I saw that a day or so ago and drooled. It's a superb example! Personally, I prefer the higher-end models, such as Eldos and Fleetwoods (the stand-up hood...
So today I had a highly recommended body shop owner come to the house and look Miss M over - He'll work on the estimate, which will take a couple of days,...
That estimate sounds really high. Make sure you go with someone that really knows Cadillacs. Some NOS stuff can be found on ebay, or with Ted Holcombe from...
Condition is somewhere between "needs a lot of work" and "good source for a lot parts". ... 500 ci engine runs, but car is not necessarily what I would call...
Joe, I am beginning to think that we must be long lost cousins or something. I also prefer the Eldorados and Fleetwoods! In my last post I mentioned that I...
Well, the number is consistent among three shops at this point, and two of 'em do classic restoration work. The guy today knows of most of the NOS sources, and...
Hmmm... My roommate in college (and still long-term best bud) had a '72 GP when we were in college - "Monarch Gold," which is actually more of a bright yellow,...
Hi Eldorado Fans, That '75 Sedan deVille really is an incredible time capsule! 411 miles... wow! Love the green (firemist?) paint! Can learn to love the rest...
Joe, Sounds like you are off to a good start, and have the right people. If the insurance company will pay the tab, you may end up with a better car than what...
Thanks, Brian! I certainly hope you're right. I've spent the vast majority of my time on this for the past couple of weeks. And while I realize it probably...
There's absolutely nothing wrong with a big, fabulous Sedan deVille! And trust me - Most folks would grow to love the color. I can assure you that I wasn't...
I have a 75 eldorado conv. Its black with a black top and a maroon interior and 86K miles. Im wondering what the large muffler looking thing on the air intake...

Dan, The part on the air cleaner is a silencer, and is not crucial to the operation of the car. 76's don't have that part on them. Regarding wheels, I have...
Thanks Brian Does it actually make a difference in quieting the intake ? The tires are pretty new, i can't tell for sure that its not the tires though. They...
Joe, Thanks for the thumbs up on the GP. I usually gravitate towards the big Caddies, but have also always been a Pontiac fan. I have owned quite a few over...
If you go to a tire store, and they put the tire/wheel on a balancer, you can easily see if it's the tire or the rim. Rims don't go out of round, unless you...
As Brian mentioned, the "muffler" on the intake is just that: A muffler (or silencer) for the intake. It isn't necessary. But... If you remove it, the intake...
