'90 Sedan Deville, it’s blue, the interior is blue, it’s in great shape, I’m excited to finish it
Velour seats or vinyl ?
That’s what always makes it or breaks it for me.
Damn, I miss velour car seats.
Oh man, my grandparents had a maroon/maroon interior (“leather”) of this car and I’ve had dreams of discovering that I somehow own it.
When I was like 17 my van was out of service for a few weeks and my grandparents lent me this car for a week when they were out of town. I listed exclusively to the hip hop station that week and forgot to reset the dial before giving it back to them. My grandfather had questions about what I’d done lol
That’s sweet, the burgundy looks so good!
Don’t let c/fuckcars see this, you’re basically the antichrist.
Look how clean the inside is
Still can’t understand why they stopped making interiors in nice colors, looks so much better than the modern sea of gray
Couldn’t agree more. Cars today are real samey and that’s not really my vibe
@bizzle oh man! Just looking at the pictures is bringing back the smell, the sound the locks make, the feeling of pulling to open the door, the slight vibration when you accelerate. Love this! Have fun with this project!
New car smell is overrated, old car smell is where it’s at
Car driven by old people smell. :)
I think my grandparents had a very similar car (like the ‘88 or ‘89 model).
It’s glorious
GM still using that 1960’s sweep speedometer. It’s what the old folks in the 90’s were used to, I guess. Haha
I think the speedometer slaps, the 93 that I’m using as a parts car has a digital dash and I hate it. “Ain’t broke, don’t fix it” feel me?
if you need another '93 deville parts car lmk mine is 🤏 this close to running but I cant source a piece of the coolant line🥴.
Also, probs need to be <4 states away
If you take a picture of where it goes I can yank the one off my parts car and mail it to you, get yours on the road
Uggh, I despise digital dash.
I don’t hate the sweep, I just recognize it as what GM has used since the 60’s. More of an interesting aside, kind of surprised me they retained it for so long.
Looks beautiful I have a question I haven’t thought to research yet but what work would be involved to retrofit electric in a car like this or is it even feasible given th weight of these old cars?
I think there are guys working on an electric crate motor, I reckon I could jam a bunch of batteries in the trunk but then where would my 4x15s go
Check the break lines and the power steering cooler loop. That is what killed mine. Good luck!
Break lines are good I haven’t checked that cooler loop though thanks for the heads up
Underappreciated survivor ! Rides like a boat I bet!
Sure is and sure does! I love these old caddies man. This is like my fourth one. I had a 99. I had a 93. I had a 92 and now I got a 90. Can’t get enough of these old caddies bro. They’re so good
Good in what ways? Genuinely interested.
The styling fucks hard which I really appreciate. They’re also really big on the inside, everyone has leg room. The bench seat means I can put an arm around the ol’ lady while we cruise down to the malt shop on the pillowy suspension. They’re not super rare yet, which means I can get this example for $3000, but they’re not super common either so it really turns heads. It will never track me because it can’t, idk if you remember 90s technology but the 5g enabled surveillance state was science fiction back then. Most importantly, driving it makes you feel like you have two dicks (even if you start with no dicks at all).
What kind of mileage do you get?
I’m averaging 25 which kicks the shit out of my truck
But how will all the data mongers track your every movement, sound, weight, and gender?!?!
Won’t anybody think of the poor data mongers?!!
Not to worry, I’m also driving a modern f150 for work
wew, I was worried that 172 random companies in Asia might not have access to your fartijg habits
That’s why I drive with my phone everywhere.
I’ve always loved older cars, especially that style, and would love to have a project car. Unfortunately I know nothing about cars except how to drive them. My buddy’s a mechanic so I could always ask him for help I suppose but I don’t think it’s a good idea to get started on a project car if you’re a complete novice.
cars are kinda hard to get into nowadays. New ones aren’t fixable like old ones are.
If you have the spare dough for an old 90’s (maybe early 00’s), that’s probably your best way to learn.
Also very important for me. Older cars had purchasable repair manuals. Big fat book with diagnostic steps for every system on the car. That book for my old car is the bible.
Good to know. Thanks for the info!
I so love those years of Cadillac, reminds me of being a kid
But the color reminds me of:
“Oh, yeah? I only see one LeBaron, Freddy.”
“I don’t see two LeBarons.”
Daddy would you like some sausage
I’m under water, and I found a treasure!
I so miss Rip Torn, guy is a comedy genius.
Agreed
Dodgeball we was a riot!
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball.
Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine?
Peter La Fleur: “Probably not.”
“No, but I do it anyway because it’s sterile and I like the taste.
Killed by 1500lbs of irony…
We had one of these. Get rid of the aluminum block engine, whatever that is, and put in an LS or something better. Really makes it a different car.
You’re gonna lift it and put on a set of 24s with spinning rims, right?
I had chrome dubs on my 99 check it out. Unfortunately the Midwest potholes are not good for those skinny ass rubber band tires so I broke two of them after like 6 months and decided I would never run skinny little tires again 😂
Hell yeah, brother
That’s sick as hell
Edit: those dice complete the look
with a lucky charms or count chocula airbrush or wrap
NGL I look at those cars and while I dont want one. Im happy someone does, there isnt enough joy in the world.
same.
Why does that thing remind me of the Zimmer Quicksilver? I guess the body lines are similar.
Nice car. Both I mean.
That’s exactly my first car, but mine was grey.
I have a gray one in my other garage that I’m using as a parts car 😂
