Cadillac DeVille | Restoration
Today I picked up my 1967 Cadillac
DeVille from American Special Parts - the
shop where all my repairs and restoration
work is done when I can´t do them for
myself.
The car got a complete new front suspension
including all bushings, ball joints and
paint. Some of the old bushings already
fell apart. As everything was apart we also
did the complete front brakes.
Also the radiator was fixed and the car got
a new ignition lock which I removed from a
67 limousine at a junkyard in California
last year. Also the turn signal switch was
finally fixed after it was broken 3 years
ago...
The car is in spectacular condition now and
with the new suspension it drives like a
brand new car - I could not imagine that
the difference would be that big.
On the left you can see a picture of the
rebuilt front suspension. Its still a
little dirty as I had to drive the car home
through rain - it will be cleaned soon
though.
