Vehicle Description
Here's your opportunity to get your hands on a distinctive example
of the new class of classics. This 1986 Cadillac Sedan DeVille is a
value-priced cool cruiser that's loaded with options and comes with
the kind of original details that most of us find irresistible.
This shows all signs of being the original Light Driftwood paint.
Not only is it the perfect color to represent the era, but also it
provides a great canvas to showcase the excellent brown vinyl roof.
This car has only averaged about 1,500 miles annually, and so it
has seen great care. That's why you have all the right details,
including mirror-like chrome bumpers, complete fender end caps, and
intricate wire wheel covers. While this has a very nice factory
style, there is also a very distinct custom package. You have an
awesome-looking two-tone pinstripe that combines a vibrant red that
brown that coordinates with the vinyl top. There's even a nice
Roadster script on the front fenders and trunk. It suggests the
custom look this one is going for with the detailed roof package
and rear luggage rack. This wasn't a factory option, but it's
exactly the kind of thing that a dealer would do back in the day to
add extra distinction to some of the most expensive cars on the
lot.
Inside is plush Cadillac comfort. This is a full-sized sedan so you
can choose to seat six, or fold down the armrests in both rows to
give four people individual pillow-tufted leather comfort. Of
course, it's the driver who's always the most important. This sedan
was built to keep you comfortably in control, and so all the
essential components are within your fingertips. It includes
everything from the automatic climate control to the digital trip
computer. As a true Cadillac, this is loaded with features like a
power driver's seat, power locks, power steering, power mirrors, a
tilt steering column, and provisions for R134a air conditioning
(will need a charge/service before fully blowing cold again.) They
have even neatly integrated an AM/FM/CD touchscreen stereo that
includes Bluetooth. So you get the best in modern driving music in
this vintage Cadillac.
Under the hood is the correct-style 4.1-liter motor. This
fuel-injected V8 has a terrific mix of good preservation and
maintenance. So you'll like everything from the factory decals to
the fresh hoses. It fires up like a well-respected FI machine
should. The V8 can deliver a hint of growl when you feel like
digging into the accelerator, but really, you'll just love the
effortless torque and smooth composure during everyday driving. The
four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive gives it great
off-the-line response and pleasant highway manners. And cruise
control means this classic Caddy remains a great long-distance
tourer. Add in a fully independent suspension that's supple yet
athletic, as well as front disc brakes, and you get a competent car
that loves the grand touring experience.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a great driver for anyone who
appreciates a proper Cadillac or wants to get into vintage car at a
value price. You know this well-presented DeVille is a fleeting
opportunity, so call today!
