I've been busting at the seams for a few weeks now! I finally get to join Ray's (73SC) secret Cadillac fraternity.......
94 Fleetwood, LT1, leather, bla bla bla.
Some of you will remember I missed out on it at the insurance auction when I got outbid. It's a hail job. Anyway, we paid for it yesterday and insured it today. I had to twist the buyer's arm pretty hard cause he wanted to part it out and put the powertrain in his 61 Caddy!

Nice ride Carl. Glad you saved it. They are the last of the real, body on frame, rear wheel drive Cadillac's. I can understand the owner wanting the engine for his '61 though!
Very good Carl! Quite the stable of cars you have! Nice addition.

Kids love the fold down visors in the back seat with the lighted mirrors in them.
And 6'2" number one son LOVES that he can finally sit in a back seat and his knees don't hit!
Yeah, I guess we have to sell something now. Son is 15 and already has his Roadmaster, wife is driving a Roadmaster, I'm driving the 6 speed Impala SS and now this. I see this as one boat too many in the marina!!!

Everyone gets a kick out of those rear vanity mirrors. My Park Ave has them. In fact my Park Ave is just a DeVille in Buick clothing (sans V8)
Todd is right, except imo the Buick has a better ride that the Deville. My Deville has a slider too so no rear vanity mirror either. Now compared to a Fleetwood well there isn't any comparison on ride imo.
Haha, me too. And boy the kids can't stop raving about it. On the way home from church, Parker just leaned back and stretched out in the back seat. With a bit of work he can make his legs hit the back of the front seat (which is moved all the way back)but when he sits normally he has a few inches to spare. Finally a car he is comfortable in when he sits in the back.
I have to find a front license plate bracket. It seems to be missing.
You can see the hail dents in the shot of the hood. Doubt we will bother fixing it though. I can live with it. I think about 10 on the hood and 10 on the trunk.
