This yesterday out at the farm I'm looking at buying the car now has 107k miles on it Michael- Ps How did you do you pics like that ? with the linkage type of thing ? I used Zymol. I used to use a polish called Dry Wash 'N Guard. Great stuff too. Zymol is really nice actually. After a nice clay job it goes on pretty easy. Great shine. Lasts a pretty good amount of time to. Also, FYI, my car has never been garage kept! Parked outside under the stars every day. The pics were uploaded using imageshack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDK Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Speedy2, Warren and Dave, All fine pictures for sure. Speedy, can you let us know the camera particulars; lens, exposures etc? As I recall, you had posted some fine night shots from a Texas city some time ago, perhaps before you were to be re-assigned? Your choice of the overpass structures with the lights creating red lens effects - was a particularly interesting study in composition with the STS's tail section. Warren, that Autumn shot is a stunning color compliment to your Eldo. Dave, Wouldn't your new bride rather have her Beetle again just for nostalgia? Please get tired of the perfect color cruiser SRX - so my wife can have it. Again, all nice work! Add power to leave problems behind. Most braking is just - poor planning.

WarrenJ Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 speedyman_2, I can understand why TDK asked for camera particulars. Beautiful shots. Just stunning! There may be a better looking '98 STS out there, and I'll let you all know when I find it (Don't hold your breath folks!). BUT, in the meantime, . . . . . WOW!!! BTW, I like the color . . . .

GreenMachine Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 great pictures, I haven't visited this site much, usually spend time at cadillacowners.com but I'll stop bye here more frequently. picture of mine...well my dads deville but since I'm living at home I tend to take care of it and such: This winter was a very bad winter, not only did some idiot key the length of the drivers side but also snap off/bend the power antenna (at the time the antenna was having some troulbe going up and down so it decided to stay up and someone snapped it off and keyed it) I also am missing one wheel center cover (if anyone has a good source for those please let me know) and the front bumper towards the bottom cracked from a real cold day and htting one of the concrete parking lot things that were under snow. Thats all gettting fixed in the next few weeks and I'll post a lovely pictures of it washed and waxed.

Bruce Nunnally Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Sorry to hear about the keying; that is a shame. Cardio-doc is a good one to ask about the wheel center cap, although you can usually get them from the local Dealer as well. Ebay occasionally has sets of 4 for various years. It is good to see more pics of the cars. Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenJ Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hi Folks, so here's a picture of my '96, on a nice summer evening... Very handsome! Funny looking parking lamps though. And dang, but that's a strange license plate up front. Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion.

JasonA Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 JasonA; looks familiar, eh? Stefan Stefan, that's a nice-lookin' piece! One of my favorites! Yep, pretty much exactly the same as mine, save for the superior European headlights and side markers.

stefank Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Jason, your car is looking great too! I bet you take good care of it! And you got the chrome wheels... Warren, I made a special version of my licence plate just for you, see attachment. :-) The parking lamps you are referring to are turn signals only. The parking lamps of the Euro version are integral part of the headlamps, a little extra bulb similar to those in the licence plate lamps. See attached picture how that looks in the dark. There are no side marker lamps in the front and rear lenses, and no cornering lamps. The clear lenses on the front/outside are empty, not even bulb holders. The wiring loom is also different.

JasonA Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Stefan, a lot of cars in the US now have that parking lamp design. The headlight just sort of "glows" faintly -- the turn signal lamp does not illuminate like it has in the past. Many of these are on foreign marques, and some may be aftermarket lights, I don't know.

Best Stefan I really appreciate the "cornering" lamps. In fact, it ticks me off that my Caddy doesn't leave the cornering lamps on for a few seconds after the turn signal cancels. My Lincolns did that. I wonder why Europe doesn't allow that feature. Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion.
