cruiser to while away those summer days and add a dose of
excitement to your summer evenings? MotoeXotica Classic Cars has
the answer, this handsome 1970 Cadillac De Ville Convertible
finished in very desirable white exterior with red interior! Long,
sleek and low, the Cadillac De Ville series was a step up from the
base Calais models in 1970. It was one of 15,172 De Ville
Convertibles made that year and 1970 represented the final year for
third-generation De Villes. This particular example was built in
GM's Detroit, Michigan assembly plant during the first week of
December 1969. It left the factory with the following optional
equipment - Soft-Ray tinted glass (code E), a six-way power front
seat (code Y) and automatic climate control (code K). Dressed in
Cotillion White (code 11), the car's paint and trim are in overall
excellent condition. The matching white power-folding vinyl roof
appears in very good order, as does the top boot, which is
color-keyed to match the car's interior. The car's windows are
clear and intact while its quad headlights and slim taillights look
great. This droptop's bodywork is straight and solid, the engine
bay is tidy and the battery looks good while the chrome bumpers are
in overall very good order but there are some minor blemishes
visible on the rear bumper. This big cruiser rolls on General
radials, size 225/75R15, at all four corners, which are wrapped
around steel wheels topped with wire wheel covers. The tires and
wheel covers are all in very good condition. Under the hood is a
472 CID V-8 engine with a four-barrel carburetor and 10.0:1
compression, mated to a Turbo Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic
transmission and a 2.93 rear end. Driver convenience features
include automatic climate control, power steering, power brakes,
power six-way front seat and power windows. Inside, the car's
Medium Red Sierra Grain Leather interior (code 388), is in overall
very good condition. The front and rear bench seats are in
better-than-average condition and the matching red carpet is in
similar shape. The three-spoke, black steering wheel looks great,
as does the red instrument panel and inner door panels, along with
the column-mounted shift lever. Completing the interior is a
factory AM/FM stereo. In 1970, a facelift included a grille with 13
vertical blades set against a delicately cross-hatched rectangular
opening. The bright metal headlamp surrounds were bordered with
body color to give it a more refined look. Narrow vertical "vee"
tail lights were seen again but now had additional smaller V-shaped
bottom lenses pointing downward below the bumper. Wheel discs and
winged crest fender tip emblems were new. Exterior distinctions
came from a DeVille script above the rear end of the belt molding
and from the use of long rectangular back up light lenses set into
the lower bumper as opposed to the smaller square lens used on the
Calais. A new feature was a body color border around the edge of
the vinyl top covering, when this option was ordered.
Nineteen-seventy was the last year that DeVille offered a
convertible body style and 1970 was also the last model year for
pillared sedans until hardtops were permanently dropped in 1977. A
total of 181,719 DeVilles were sold for that model year, accounting
for 76 percent of all Cadillacs. Never again would Cadillac sales
be dominated to such a degree by a single model! Competition to
this De Ville droptop in 1970 included Buick's Electra 225 and
Wildcat Convertibles, Chrysler's 300 Convertible, Mercedes-Benz's
280 SL Convertible, Mercury's Marquis Convertible and Oldsmobile's
98 Convertible. If you seek a big, comfy cruiser to spend some
spare time in this summer, stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars to
