famous tailfins One of 17,600 Cadillac convertibles built for 1963
Rebuilt 390 CID V-8 engine Hydramatic four-speed automatic
transmission White exterior with new ivory, power-folding top and
green leather interior Power steering, power brakes, power front
seat and Soft-Ray glass MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to
offer another early 1960s Cadillac in the form of this 1963 Coupe
de Ville Convertible that is beautifully finished in white exterior
with a new ivory, power-folding top and green leather interior. It
was manufactured in General Motors' Detroit factory during the
third week of May 1963. Finished in white, the car's paint and trim
are in overall very good order but there are some blemishes visible
upon close inspection. The windows are clear and intact while the
car's lights are intact and haze-free. The car rides on Remington
whitewall tires surrounding 15-inch steel wheels topped with
factory turbine style wheel covers. The car's bodywork is straight
and the car has a newer, ivory, power-folding convertible top and
related components. The engine bay is tidy, the battery appears new
but the bumpers show some blemishes upon close inspection and the
windshield wipers are inoperable. Under the hood is a rebuilt 390
CID V-8 engine with a four-barrel carburetor buttoned to a
Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission. Though it remained
the same displacement, Cadillac completely redesigned its V-8
engine for 1963, the first clean sheet design since it started life
at 331 CID in 1949. The new engine was quieter, smoother, more
efficient, one inch lower, four inches narrower and 1.25 inches
shorter than the 1962 engine. Thanks to using an aluminum accessory
drive, the 1963 engine also weighed about 82 pounds fewer than its
predecessor. Driver convenience features on this car include power
steering, power brakes, power front seat and Soft-Ray glass.
Inside, the green leather seats look fantastic while the matching
carpet is in decent order. The instrument panel is finished in
two-tone green and looks good, as does the two-spoke steering
wheel, the inner door panels, mirror glass and shift lever. The
fuel and temperature gauges are inoperable. In overall terms, 1963
Cadillac was essentially the same as the previous year. Exterior
changes imparted a bolder and longer look. Hoods and deck lids were
redesigned. The front fenders projected 4.625 inches further
forward than in 1962 while the tailfins were trimmed down somewhat
to provide a lower profile. Body-side sculpturing was entirely
eliminated. The slightly V-shaped radiator grille was taller and
now incorporated outer extensions that swept below the flush-fender
dual headlamps. Smaller circular front parking lamps were mounted
in those extensions. A DeVille signature script was incorporated
above the lower beltline molding near the rear of the body. A total
of 143 options including bucket seats with�wool,�leather,
or�nylon�upholstery fabrics and wood veneer facings on dash, doors,
and seatbacks, set an all-time record for interior appointment
choices. Standard equipment was the same as the previous year.
Competitors to this Cadillac in 1963 were Buick's Wildcat
Convertible, Chrysler's 300K Convertible and Mercury's Park Lane
Convertible. If you're looking for a luxury convertible from a time
