1989 Cadillac Coupe Deville

1989 Cadillac Coupe Deville

I bought this car from the original owner who coincidentally passed about an hour after I registered it in my name. It only had 48,000 miles on it in July of 2020.

Original Owner

Dr. Wallis took wonderful care of this car, only driving it in nice weather and always keeping it in the garage. Even at work, he parked in a garage to keep it out of the sun. He always  had more than one spare car so that this one never saw any harsh weather. It routinely returned to the Delmar Haynes dealership where he ordered and purchased it new for regular service and repairs. I received a folder full of all of the service record paperwork he has collected over the years.

Tires

One of the first things I had to do after purchasing this car was getting a new set of tires. The old ones were very dry-rotted, altough I drove it around town for quite a while before doing so.

Brake Service

I went through and replaced the front brake pads, serviced the calipers, replaced front brake hoses, and flushed out the system and replaced with DOT5 fluid.

Deer

Unfortunately, I hit a deer in November of 2021 and I have yet to find a new windshield. On the plus side, the deer jumped at the last second and only shattered the windshield and the driver's door window. I have already gotten a new window and now just need the windshield and it will be back on the road!
