The 1976 Cadillac Deville 4-door Sedan represents the END of the true first generation Cadillacs. The 1976 Cadillac Deville was the last year before GM started with the first generation of down-sized Cadillacs. Additionally, it was the last year of the 500 cubic inch big block. Style-wise, the "76" Deville was the final year of the pillar-less four door and the last Deville marketed with fender skirts. This particular Deville is an unbelievably clean, one owner car with 67,700 genuine miles. The original owner of this Cadillac was my wives great aunt who passed last year in her very late 80's. She drove very sparingly resulting in the very low mileage on this car. She hated leather seats so she ordered the still perfect cloth interior which is very comfortable. The Cadillac has all the normal options which all operate perfectly including "76's" introduction of the standard 6 way power seat. The climate control air conditioning has, upon arrival to Florida, been retrofitted with R123 and works perfectly as does everything including the 8 track player in the stereo system. Additionally, when we received the car we had a complete overhaul done, freshed the brakes both front and rear and upgraded the alternator from the stock 63 amp to a 100 amp unit. There are a couple of very minor surface rust spots around the rear tires where dirt and stones have been thrown off the tires and knocked the paint off. Also visible in the photos, is a bit of a dent on the passenger side rear quarter from when she misjudged her garage. This car represents that quintessential story of an old lady almost never driving a garage kept classic. A driver that NEVER abused the car. My wives aunt was the executor of the estate, took possession of the car and delivered the car to my wife. Technically, its not a one owner car anymore.......but it is. This is such a nice car and I am positive you will enjoy it if you become the new owner
