Cadillac, either Coupe DeVille or Eldorado |

Wait, this might be a 1985-1990 Ninety-Eight coupe - I've never seen one, but the rear ends has a lot of Olds in it... |

I might actually be on the right track... This coupe existed for 1985-1987 only, the one in the capture would fit the photo the Ninetyeightopedia has for the 1986 model, but I am not sure what trim details changed over those seasons that could be visible in the pic... -- Last edit: 2007-12-09 22:06:49 |

It's a Cadillac 100% sure. Circa 1986. |

My parents used to have an '85 Oldsmobile 98 Regency, and I remember everyone used to think it was a Cadillac. They did look similar from behind, although the Olds had flush taillights and the Caddy's jutted slightly from the bodywork. These tails stick out, hence Cadillac. |

Looks like a De Ville to me Joe |

In case the Olds didn't have those vestigial "tailfins" (never seen one, so I can't tell), it is a Coupe DeVille (more or less same body) |

That's a 1987 or 1988 Coupe Deville. The earlier small Deville's (85-86) didn't have the pronounced taillights of the 87-88 models. This design was done to add visual length to the cars as customer's complained that the 86-86 models looked too small to be "real" Cadillac's and they of course looked too much like the Olds 98 and Buick Park Avenue. |
