Vehicle Description
1965 Cadillac DeVille Convertible Paint Code '00' Special Color
Off-White Interior 429ci Monster V8 Powerhouse Power Options such
as Power Windows and Convertible Top - yes, they work. Very nice,
solid, and straight Cadillac! New Top with back window takes the
worry away of being caught in bad weather. This Cadillac could use
your vision on how far you may want to go in making it better or
your own. Right now, it has a worn, sun baked interior, good
chrome, good metal, good, mechanicals, and basically great bones!
It runs and drives so you can take it to your local watering hole
in style. Nice car.... Recently traded. As it had been since
DeVille became a separate series, DeVille denoted Cadillac's
mainstream model, falling between the Calais (which had replaced
the Series 62) and the Sixty Special and Eldorado. The DeVille was
redesigned for 1965 but rode on the same 129.5-inch (3,290 mm)
wheelbase. Tailfins were canted slightly downward, and sharp,
distinct body lines replaced the rounded look. Also new were a
straight rear bumper and vertical lamp clusters. The headlight
pairs switched from horizontal to vertical, thus permitting a wider
grille. Curved frameless side windows appeared, and convertibles
acquired tempered glass backlights. New standard features included
lamps for luggage, glove and rear passenger compartments and front
and rear safety belts. Power was still supplied by the 340
horsepower 429 cu in (7,030 cc) V8, which would be replaced by the
472 cu in (7,730 cc) for 1968. Perimeter frame construction allowed
repositioning the engine six inches forward in the frame, thus
lowering the transmission hump and increasing interior room.
Pillared sedans appeared on the DeVille series for the first time,
while six-window hardtop sedans were dropped. A padded vinyl roof
was a $121 extra-cost option on the hardtop model. All four DeVille
models had small "Tiffany-like" script nameplates on the ends of
their rear fenders just above the chrome side molding. Air
