Here are some pictures of my Champagne Cadillac Deville. It's considered a '92 but was manufactured in march of 1991. I bought it in Dallas, Texas on July 12,2004. About a three hour drive from San Antonio. It only had 124,000 miles on it which isn't bad for it being as old as it was. I initially had a 1990 Deville four door. That one was Pearl white with the grey bottom, and maroon leather interior. I had it in perfect shape for about two years as a graduation present until some stupid little Civic smashed into me on the highway destroying much of the left side of my car. And since it was thier fault, there insurance payed for my damages to the car and with that money I bought this one . I searched on AutoTrader.com for a about a month straight looking for the same style Cadillac Deville and found this one with a good deal. This is how it looked when I first brought it home and how it looks now with rims and tint.
Let Me Know What You Think.

The first thing I did when I got home was wash it and give a thick coat of wax. It has a dark brown cloth top that I really don't have to mess with because it doesn't get too dirty. The top also has no scratches, no fading spots or tears anywhere.
The day I bought the car I was suprised on how the interior was taken care of. The front and back seats looked as if they were brand new. Not even the armrest was cracked. The only thing that I found bad about the car were the dark spots on the carpet mats up front but that was quickly taken care of and removed. Not a single crack in the leather anywhere.

The stock fifteen inch alloys were nice but I still had to replace them. Everthing inside is power and everything still works. the air conditioner still throws cold air and the heater has no problems at all. Rear defroster, front defroster and rear view mirrors all clear up in a little more that a minute.

A few weeks after I bought the Caddy, I installed an exhaust system. I went ahead with the Flowmaster Super 80 Series with dual outlets and chrome 2 3/4 in. tips. And now it sounds like a true V8, the way it's supposed to, especially at a higher rpm. If you notice below, I removed the stock catalytic converter and was running it with a staight pipe but after a while started having problems with the emissions regulator, so I replaced it again with a high flow converter from Magnaflow. It's half the size of the stock one, doesn't weigh as much and didn't mess with the sound. I also had the entire exhaust pipe raised about an inch towards the body by welding four brackets from the pipe to the frame bacause I thought it would hang too low.



After the exhaust was put on, I decided to buy a K&n air filter to help increase the flow into the engine and save on gas. Now I was really feeling the acceleration on the car, especially on take off. The other engine upgrade was the Tornado, it's also supposed to increase airflow. It fits in between the intake pipe and the intake manifold. Gas mileage actually got worse but I didn't care as long as the extra power was there when I needed it.

And here's my weapon of choice. The 4.9 liter, 300 cubic inch Cadillac engine with multi port fuel injection that runs with the best of 'em. It has a new thermostat, new belt, new water pump, new spark plugs, spark plug wire set, fuel filter, EGR valve new trunk motor, new hood shocks, new cap and rotor, and I always change the oil every three months with synthetic 10w-30 to keep it running strong and clean. Every so often, I'll even buy a bottle of 104 octane to keep the fuel system gunk-free. Original oil pan and it still doesn't leak a drop of oil.


As much as I liked the old stock radio, I needed a CD player for the cruises. I saw this one and soon bought it. Everything in the car is powered by Sony components.

I even changed out the front door speakers with 5x8 2-way 200 watt speakers and for the back, I went with 400 watt 4-way Sony 6x9's that I bought off of EBAY. I did all the installations myself. The only speakers that I had trouble with were front door speakers because they were bigger than the stock ones so I had to find new mounting brackets and a different position to mount them. But it paid off because the sound quality is a lot better than it was before.


Here are my 12" subwoofers and capacitor. Before I bought the capacitor, my interior lights and the headlights would dim every time the bass would hit and my battery would get easily drained, but now with capacitor none of that happens anymore. That's the capacitor on the right of the box. Later on I want to put a neon kit inside the trunk that maybe says something with graphics around it but ain't sure of what colors to use or of what it should say.
Installing the CD player and gauges makes it look a lot better at night. I did everything myself, I had to block the center vents so now the a/c comes out full blast from the corners and through the rear.
I had the headliner redone, also the rear door liner and back quarter panel that surrounds the backlight. I didn't do the center columns though but I'll do them later. Front visors and middle piece for the lights were replaced too.

The car might have more miles than I would want it to but it still glides smooth. I have the original information book and business card from when it was new too. Once it reaches around 180,000 miles, I want to rebuild the engine and transmission.

About five months after getting the car, I put 5% limo tint on all four windows. It's really hard to see inside even with the Texas daylight. I also switched out the alloys for the spokes shown above that I took off my other Cadillac that was wrecked. The spokes lasted about seven months before I bought the rims.

The Caddy looks and handles alot better than it did before. The rims fill up the fender almost completely too. I get a lot more stares.




The rims I chose were 20" Katana wheels wrapped in 245/35/20R Falken Avenger tires. And for the idiots that don't believe the size, below is proof that these are 20"s. And there they are, ready for pickup.


Although this isn't my car, it's an exact replica of what I used to have. Same whitewalls and same paint scheme. And hopefully soon I'll get my hands on one of these crouch rockets. I want to get a Suzuki GXS-R 600 or a 750.
