This page is dedicated to my very 1st Cadillac, a 1987 Coupe DeVille. Thank you very much to Randy in New Waterford, Nova Scotia for selling me this car, I love it alot & it runs fantastic!!! I remember looking through a Cadillac brochure from the 80's & seeing a Coupe DeVille very similar to mine, even had the same style roof, and falling in love with it. Now, almost 20 years later, I got one in the driveway. I love the attention this car gets, people stare when it drives by, and some even approach me to ask me about it. I recall being one of those car-nuts back in the day, asking someone about their car, it's cool that I can be the one that people ask about my car!!!
June 18th update: I'm such a moron for not adding this, my God I shoulda did this off the bat...To one of my closest friends in the world, Donna, THANK YOU for making this dream come true. Not many dreams have ya know, but THIS really makes up for it, my favorite 1980's Cadillac, in the color I love, and even the vinyl top, this is the best birthday present EVER!!!

I acquired her on February 18th, 2005 after years of seeing these babies drive by, I'm now part of the club
I got this car in New Waterford, Nova Scotia. I have all the reciepts for work done to this car. The body has 230,000 kms on it & the 4.1L V8 has only 80,000. It has a few minor rust spots but nothing major. I cannot believe the attention that this car generates!!!
Here's a pic of the interior. There are a few minor issues here. The passenger power seat was unplugged, tried hooking it up with no luck (May 3rd UPDATE: the culprit was a stuck recliner button, which drained the battery, thanks, Allan for fixing it!!!), the factory speakers need to be replaced (they crack) but with a discman hooked up & the bass boosted on it, the system sounds awesome!!! FACTORY, BABY!!!
This is the control center for da pimp-ass ride. The a/c works good, can't wait for them hot summer days!!! This thing even tells you the outside temp!!! The fuel computer took some getting used to, doesn't have a traditional gas gauge, it tells you how many litres are left in your tank. I know if it reads F, it's full!!! Another minor interior issue, the door panels were worn at one time, and redone black, looks cool. Even the backseat lighters work!!!
Even covered in road grit & grime, she looks bomb!!!
And on cold, sunny Nova Scotia days, even better!!!
Here's the very 1st pic of the new baby, getting ready to take her home, with a few "gotta show this baby off around town before the trip home" stops along the way!!!
Took these pics the day after I got the car, not the best quality!!!
Used my friend's old digital camera to take these shots, think it was a 1 megapixel cam
Figured these ones would turn out okay where it was sunny out, guess I was wrong.
Here's a pic of the new plate I got for the car
Close-up shot
Taken Apr.12/05, me, Linden & Donna took a day trip to Sydney
At the Bras d'or Lakes lookoff in Irish Vale, Nova Scotia
The scenery is awesome up here, as you'll see in the next pics
You can kinda see the scenery in the background, but the Caddy just wants to take center stage LOL
Donna took some really nice shots at the St.Peter's Canal of Linden's 240SX & I wanted some cool scenery for my car, pretty nice spot to take pics
The famed Bras d'or Lakes in the background
I love this plate, it's a riot. I bought it one night I was drunk & got Linden to drive me around, got it at a truck stop, it's hilarious
Ya kinda went back a little far for this one, Donna!!! But hey, she got the car and a good shot of the lakes
In St.Peter's, giving the baby a bath, show off them curves.
At the St.Peter's car wash. Linden's dad pulled up & said "yer gonna break that camera taking pictures of that Cadillac" Hey, she's family!!!
At my aunt's house in Sydney.
This is a very sad picture, taken June 2nd,2005. The night before, the fan belt let go in Sydney Mines, and I was lucky enough to make it to the Irving in North Sydney, where I had to leave her for the night, this is my baby, on a flatbed, on her way to Canadian Tire to get fixed. Thanks Donna, for spotting me the dough to get it fixed & for the tow.
Here's a set of pics I took with a throw-away camera around the end of March,2005. Just driving around St.Peter's, Louisdale & Arichat, found some cool spots to get some nice pics. As you can tell...Man, I love this car!!! LOL.
This is a really freaky shot. Me, Linden & Donna were on our way back to Sydney, and I stopped & got this cool shot. The lit up eyes are their 2 dogs, Sasha & Fate LOL.
Here's me & Jenn, a girl I know from Sydney Forks.Taken in the early-morning hours of July 3/05. Her last night in Cape Breton before she heads off to Moncton. I dunno what she'll miss more...me or the Caddy, she LOVES this car!!!
Just remember, Jenn...whenever you're home, we be rollin' pimp-style in da Coupe DeVille, YOU'RE HIRED!!! haha, gotcha!!!
