Ray and Fran Ferland's 1988 Coupe Deville Cadillac I have always loved Cadillacs and this is the third one I've owned. We
bought this one in Florida in 1998. I was attracted to the beautiful red color and it was in great condition.
It has what is called a white roadster top (looks like convertible) and the original paint is in good condition. The
interior is red & white leather, which reminds me of the '50's cars. I did replace the engine with a rebuilt
265 V-8.
I've always been one to dress up a car, so I added a continental kit, Dayton wide-walled
tires, Rolls Royce grill, a reproduction of a 1941 Cadillac hood ornament, Chrome & Gold wire spoke wheels with real
knock-off spinners. I've also added dual exhausts, customized side vents and a new Kinwood radio and CD player.
I always wanted trunk straps and couldn't find them for years, but Fran found them on eBay and they have been added
now.
I have shown the car in Florida and NC and have won some trophies. I drove the car
from Florida to Maine in 1999 and from NC to Maine in 2006 without a single problem. I love to drive it around town
because I always get "thumbs up" and "it's a beautiful car" comments. Some ask if I want
to sell it. That makes my day.
