"Maggi"     1961 Cadillac DeVille

Introduction / Overview:

My name is Milton, We purchased our Cadillac in 2007 site unseen except for a few photos, and watch it come out of the container when it landed fresh from the USA, the car was original and had never been off the road, the previous owner had it since new and due to his age could no longer drive it, the body was nice but mechanically it was awful, so began the slow replacement of all moving parts, without taking it off the road for more than a few days or so, plus I am an individual and started to make a few small changes to the 61 to make it different from all the others in the country at that time. 

Drivetrain:

390, fully rebuilt to original specs, runs Duel Fuel, both Petrol and LPG. Custom 

Chassis:

One thing I liked about the original pictures and info I got before I made the purchase, the old guy had the body repainted in the early 80's and he had the roof painted black, I liked this look very much than having the car all white, he had tinted the windows a terrible dark purple colour too, I like tinted windows, but this had to go, and replaced them with new tint. 

Wheels and Tires:

Chrome Steel Rims with smoothy caps, real white walls. 

Body & Paint:

After some light modifications at the front and back and the wheels and replacing or fixing most of the moving parts underneath we have a great cruiser.

Interioir:

New Leather Interior just put in, with custom made guages on dash and custom bound armrests on doors
