Welcome to our first episode of The Downside - featuring a 1964 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. Our next episode will be featuring a 1987 Buick Grand National so stay tuned! Music from www.bensound.com
i’ve owned a 64 Cadillac for 22 years, convertible. I hear y’all on every one of your points I think they say it gets 8 miles to the gallon. Also the most unusual thing when you first touch the steering wheel is it feels like a little pencil but the car does cruise very well and like you said it’s like sitting on your sofa in your living room driving it thank you for your review
All series Cadillac for that vintage had a "P" lock out out requiring you to pull shifter inward towards you as well as a decent to move from reverse to drive, requiring a pull to enter low. As well, a vacuum-electric natural safety switch allowing start while in park and natural only as well as automatic parking brake release when entering forward or reverse gear. These switches slipped adjustment after years which effect back up lights too. An optional passenger side rear view mirror was available but hard to find. Gas mileage was 9.2 average. I still drive my mom's but use high grade gas for its 10.5:1 compression. With a 129.5" wheelbase and & under 30' turn circle it parked well compared to cars less it's size back then. (: high in its class power to weight ratio (340 bhp @ 4500 Lbs). 1st yr Turbo 400 & automatic climate control & Automatic lights off timer (Twilight-Sentinal)
5:25 no, it's a 7.03 Liters or 7.0, NOT 7.4... 61 cubic inches in 1 Liter. 429÷61=7.0327 IDK what you're referring to with the "follow my channel" eye point, but you are DEFINITELY incorrect.
I have a 64 and when I replaced my shocks finally, found out they were not the regular size but the way larger commercial size. Say for a hearse. Alot more expensive too.
