Bought My First RWD and V8
As of Sunday, I am the happy owner of my first RWD car, and my first V8. It is a '87 Cadillac Brougham d'Elegance. I have loved Cadillac's when I first saw a '59 El Dorado convertible at a car show. However, it isn't without a couple problems. Thankfully all the power options work and the body is in good shape for its age. I still can't believe I ACTUALLY OWN A CADILLAC! Now the reason I could afford it is, the engine has a miss, and someone tried to steal it, so it has a broken window, steering column and ignition. It has automatic dimming headlights and rearview mirror, factory wire wheels, heated mirrors, and power front seats, windows, locks, trunk latch, and antenna. I am really looking forward to having this car running properly. ONTO THE PICTURES! 
I own to many cars.

Came in here expecting GTO, G8, Mustang, ect.....
Buff, polish, new wide whites, lower it down and ball around town. But, WTF is up with the running boards?
In for vids of Caddy launching off dirt pile in background.

Thanks. I'm really looking forward to getting it running properly.
That would be awesome. Would you be able to fund that for me? I also wouldn't complain with a supercharger setup as well. Might need a new transmission too. 6 speed would be nice.
The previous owner put those on to give it some protection from the gravel roads. From what I can tell, they did their job. As for the video, sorry to disappoint. I would never be able to bring myself to do that, as funny as it would be.

No problem. Just 10 easy payments of 1000$👍

Thanks Bill.
I would be so pissed off if someone steals the hood ornament, but I won't really be diving it until the window and engine is fixed, so in the meantime it'll be sitting in storage on farm. Will just have to keep an eye out for mice. My mom read somewhere that if you park the tires on tinfoil, the mice will stay away. Don't know if it works though. Worth a shot. Don't want those blasted things destroying it.
