Vehicle Description
Regal, powerful, and quite luxurious, this 1965 Cadillac DeVille is
a highly correct classic that defined what a cool cruising
convertible is. So when one of the most desirable drop-tops around
is also this nicely priced, you know it's time to take a closer
look.
This car is iconic. When we close our eyes, and think of a classic
Caddy, this is what comes to mind. It's because the designers were
out to create a memorable car with a crisp point in the center of
the hood and equally sharp points flaking it on the fenders. This
helps create that impossibly long profile that shows these DeVilles
owned the road. In the rear, Cadillac kept the tailfin era alive by
making it into a well-integrated sporty rear overhang. And of
course, there's the brightwork. The wraparound front bumper,
extra-wide grille, form-fitting rear bumper, and all that trim make
this flash with class. And because this design was an instant
classic, it only gets better on with a well-presented white paint.
It has a metallic pearl element in this upgraded application, and
so it lets out that radiant look you really want in a premium Caddy
every time you take this drop-top out on a sunny day.
The black convertible top is newer, and so it has a crisp look
against the white car to give this a timeless stylishness. And with
the flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal the full black and
white interior. So this classic Caddy has the look of formalwear
with the roof on or off. There's a ton of style in the details,
like the bright trim and the textured inserts in the button-top
seatbacks. You also have provisions for great factory items, like a
power front seat, power windows, and air conditioning. So you can
use this Caddy's value price to leave room in the budget for any of
these features you may want to restore. But this is already an
awesome cruiser from day one. There's a fold-down armrest to give
you individual driver's comfort. The classic and grippy three-spoke
steering wheel is on a tilt column to give you a great view of the
full artful gauge package. And there's even a well-integrated
retro-style AM/FM digital tuner to give you upgraded cruising
music.
A big 429 cubic-inch engine with a four-barrel carburetor on top is
a great '60s Cadillac motor. The bright blue block of Cadillac's V8
makes sure this one radiates with power in the dark engine bay. The
full setup has a very original look, and the VIN stamped on the
block tells us this was the original engine to the car. There are
some nice upgrades to keep this a true cruiser, like the electric
fuel pump, a newer brake dual master cylinder, and newer dual
exhaust. The big torque of the V8 moves all this sheetmetal with
ease, especially when paired with the TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission. As expected from a Cadillac, the ride has an
unparalleled smoothness that soaks up bumps like a hovercraft. As
you're enjoying the road trip, the power steering, power brakes,
and modern touring tires make for a desirable driving package.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and a second set of
Cadillac wheel covers. When an iconic drop-top like this is up for
grabs, you know this is a deal that will be moving soon. Call
