This 1971 Cadillac Coupe Deville has been sitting in the back of an old plumbing supply Warehouse for years. Will it run and drive or was it parked for a reason? Let's find out!
I started filming this a few months ago but ended up doing video on the Grand Marquis and Boat seen in this video first. Here they are:

@standavis7266 7 месяцев назад

The only thing I would recommend when towing with the sling is to lock the pins on the arms, you want them open when you are hooking up but locked while towing. Also, keep a 4x4 on the truck as well...some cars the bumper is not strong enough to hold the weight and you can put the 4x4 on top of the chains to hit on the frame if it reaches (mainly when towing from the front) and can stop from smashing the radiator support. I also carried a couple pool noodles to put over the chains when they were rubbing on something like the gas tank. Otherwise looked pretty good.

I always have a soft spot for that generation, just brings me back to my childhood. I been a car enthusiast all my life, and luxury cars are my favorite kind. I had two Caddy's in the past, a 1991 Deville Touring Sedan, and a 1996 Sedan Deville. I would love to have a 1971-73 Coupe Deville, and my dream car a 1959 Fleetwood or Deville.
