Vigilite fiber-optic warning lamp monitoring system Cadillac was

MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present a reason why - this
1972 Cadillac Sedan de Ville land yacht! This particular example
was built during the fifth week of May 1972 at Cadillac's Linden,
New Jersey factory and is reportedly a two-owner car, being sold on
an actual mileage title showing 40,xxx. Dressed in Cognac Metallic
(code 69), with a full, brown, cross-grained padded vinyl roof,
(code R), the car's paint and trim in overall very good order but
there are some area showing minor blemishes upon close inspection.
The glass panels are in very good condition, clear and crack-free.
The car's lights, in particular its signature slim, vertical
tail-lamps, are haze-free and in fine shape. This Cadillac rolls on
whitewall tires, with full wheel covers at each corner. All of its
body panels are straight, including the vinyl roof mentioned
earlier. The trunk is in very good condition and contains the
original jack and original full-sized spare tire with tire cover to
match the trunk floor covering. The engine bay is very tidy, the
battery appears new and the bumpers look great. Under that wide
hood is Cadillac's 472 CID V-8 engine, which was the standard de
Ville mill until 1975. Here, the 472 uses a Rochester Quadra-Jet
carburetor and is backed by a Turbo Hydramatic 400 three-speed
automatic transmission and a 2.93:1 rear end. Driver convenience
features include air-conditioning, (however the compressor is
inoperable), power steering, power brakes, power windows, power
door locks and remote trunk release. All other power accessories
work as designed. Inside, the car Medium Maize Majesty cloth and
leather interior (code 344) is overall good order but the driver's
seat shows some wear and some splits in the cloth. The matching
carpeting is in similar good overall condition, while the tan
headliner looks great and the earth-toned instrument panel is in
one piece and looks good. This model also uses GM's Vigilite
fiber-optic warning monitoring system that alerts the driver if any
exterior light bulbs have burned out. The three-spoke steering
wheel, inner door panels, mirror glass and shift lever are all in
good order. Rounding out the interior is a factory AM/FM radio. In
1972, a modest frontal revision placed more emphasis on horizontal
grille blades. The parking lamps were moved from the bumper to
between the square-bezel headlamps, which were now set wider apart.
New standard features included a bumper impact system, automatic
parking brake release, passenger assist straps and flow- through
ventilation system. New DeVille signature script was affixed to the
sides of the rear roof panels and V-shaped emblems made a return on
hood and deck lid. Competition to this Cadillac in 1972 included
Bentley's T, Chrysler's Imperial LeBaron four-door hardtop,
Lincoln's Continental Sedan and Mercedes-Benz's 450 SE Sedan. This
car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri.
