I would have left him bruised and bleeding with the Caddy, with a real close aproximation of an, [I just got raped by the family dog} look on his face for that move. Followed within the week with a very curtly worded letter of separation in his rectum. No professional business would tolerate that kind of public display of disrespect. Oh yeah, the car wasn't bad either, lol. P.S. I coulda done a better job on the windshield with my backside.

I remember when these 1969 Cadillacs were Brand New. I spent a lot of time at a particular Cadillac Oldsmobile dealer in the late 1960's..into the 1970's. The smooth, quiet ride, the cool, quiet, air conditioning the beauty and scent of the Ostrich grained leather. The smooth power of the 472 Cadillac V-8 was awesome! There was nothing better!!!

The local Cadillac dealer here had been in business since like 1910. If you bought one from them they would kiss your ass and polish your knob endlessly. Oh, would madame like to have here hair styled during the oil change? And let use clean the inside and outside and wax the car no charge. Make those whitewalls shine. Please partake of out complimentary smorgasboard as you please. They were a great dealer. Out of business now. The other Cadillac dealer in town was caught defrauding the Feds on parts purchases and they were all thrown in jail.

I know what u mean. Ive always loved Cadillacs from my early youth (11) until they started producing s----y nothings (80 thru now). Back in my youth, there was a funeral home on my street, & I would love to see the Cadillac hearses & Cadillac Sedan De Villes, all lined up at the home or churches, from 1958-1967, all matching midnight blue & all the funeral home staff wearing midnight blue attire. Now the funeral home equipment is black, the staff wears black, the families wear black, how are u supposed to know who's who?, but those were the good ol' days & I wish they would come back.

I Remember when these 1969 Cadillacs were brand new in September, 1968, and I was completely appalled at the black plastic instrument cluster! The 1967 and 1968 Cadillacs had a metal, chrome instrument cluster. However, compared to what GM markets as a "Cadillac" today, the 1969 Cadillac looks better than GM could ever come up with again! Back in 1969, GM gave you a wide choice of colors, interior, and exterior..Not so today!

In 1970 they replace most of the black plastic with plastic wood. I liked the 1970 dash much better. 1967 Cadillac started cheapening the interiors. 1966 Caddy used real wood, for the Fleetwood Broughams anyway, I think the Devilles were metal.

It was Aztec Gold also. Had it 9 months till a drunk nailed while it was parked on the street out front of the apt.

As a teenager in the mid 70s I had my grandfather's caddy to drive. A drunk driver hit mine, the difference being we were both going about 50 mph when he crossed the line and hit me head on. Fortunately I was that rare teenager that buckled up both the lap and shoulder belts back then. I walked away with only bruises from the belts which was far better than the unbelted other driver.

1968 was when Caddy switched from the 429's to the 472 engines. In 1970, they brought out the 500 CID engine. Both engines were equipped with a single-plane Quadrajet 4-barrel spreadbore intake manifold. Cadillac introduced the Quadrajet spreadbore carburetor in 1967. What's the wire hanging down under the dash?

That's why the first thing you should do on an older car is to replace the tires. Unless you're just going to show the car and not drive it, having the original tires on the car are of no benefit as the rubber goes bad over time, no matter how many miles are on the tires.

The crest on the trunk was modified at some point. Originally it would have been mounted with a small spring loaded pivot. You would rotate the crest up to reveal the trunk lock. The pivot and spring probably gave up years ago so the solution was to drill a hole in the crest and glue it back on. I know this because my parents had one, medium metallic blue with white top and while interior. New England winters killed it long time ago with major rust as most cars did back then in the northeast. This one is in marvelous shape, thanks for showing it......................................................Ok, I just finished watching the video, glad to see you stayed safe in the left turn lane. Sorry if I am chuckling at your difficult morning drive, but like I said, glad you stayed safe with all that. Cheers.

You're right - the 429 expanded to 472 for the 1968 model year (with nearly 500 ft-lbs of torque). King-of-the-roadmobile.

What a nice car. My grandfather had a 1968 Cadillac Sedan Deville which was the 4-door pillar less which ever you call it. He ran over a firebird in it. He was able to drive the car home the firebird was totaled. It just bent the corner of the bumper. They were tanks. I enjoy your videos. I laugh my ass off. Love the way you describe cars and etc. Thumb up...

This was my uncle Franny's car. 😳 He was a press worker for a small local paper for years when he got one used around '73...He was so proud when he drove it to work and bragged about having a nicer car than the Chief Editor... 👍 RIP UNC.

Wow, the sheet metal clank of that hood and trunk lid! Long time since I heard ones like that. Yeah the durable transmission. Didn't Rolls and Bentley go with some of those? Greetings from Toronto Bill, I'm all chipper about your renewed channel

Yes, I've heard Rolls used the TH400 trans too back in the day because it was so good. I currently own a '76 Coupe De Ville and recently sold a GMC 1-ton pickup I owned for 30 years with the same transmission. Clearly, the best shifting, most reliable transmission I've ever experienced. My current, and far more modern vehicles aside from the Cadillac, provide better fuel economy, but have annoying shift characteristics. I hope they hold together like the TH400 does.

My father bought a 1970 Sedan Deville in 1972. It was green with camel leather and a black vinyl top. He decided he could buy a two year old Cadillac for the same price as a brand new Caprice. He bought it from an estate. The original owner had passed away. The car was extremely low mileage. The owner's son told dad that his father never drove the car over 45 mph. Even on the interstate. I remember the car hiccupping and chugging while my dad floored the accelerator and let off all the way home, attempting to burn carbon off the plugs. He finally got it running good. My dad drove the car 80mph on the interstates. We would take long Sunday drives every week, going down the roads less traveled. What great memories.
