Vehicle Description
1977 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
The vision for the Cadillac is based on precision engineering and
the complete luxury experience. This is the reason why Cadillac is
one of the finest cars ever manufactured in the United States. This
tradition will carry on throughout its manufacturing history, and
to this day, Cadillac still remains to be America's finest luxury
vehicle. Ford's vision of precision manufacturing led to the
ultimate reliability of his vehicles. Therefore, Cadillac's
reputation preceded itself as the better-made automobile compared
to its competitors.
For consignment, a very cool Caddy from 1977, 1 family owned and
always pampered by our consignor with never seeing inclement
weather and always having a tank of high test. The beneficiary of a
paint and interior redux in 2004 shortly after our consignor
purchased it from his wife's brother-in-law, who was the original
owner. Let's settle right in and enjoy the finer things in life and
enjoy all the juiciness this Saffron orange luxury cruiser has to
offer.
Exterior
A Saffron Metallic respray covers the extra-large steel panels on
this beautiful land yacht. It is sporting a contrasting white
padded vinyl landau top in near showroom condition, and the same
can be said for all chrome and brite-work as well as badging. All
exterior lighting works perfectly and spoke chromed Caddy wheel
covers are mounted all around. All tastefully done, and you are
looking at one snappy Caddy. From its front V shaped grille to the
throwback vertical tail cathedral lights it exudes the late
1970's
Interior
Breathe in the saffron ultra-padded and stitched bucket leather
"recliner" front seats flanking a dual armrest between the seat
backs. A rear bench stretches from "B" pillar to "B"pillar, and
provides plenty of room for extra passengers, along with the same
embedded armrest in the middle. Door panels are a mixture of
saffron leather, molded plastic, stainless steel control panels and
wonderful hand selected wood veneers. The doors hold the power
window and power door lock switches, and the mirror adjustment
joystick. The quintessential GM dash with a mixture of wood,
saffron vinyl and stainless panels. This dash houses a climate
control system, intermittent wipers, power antenna, and rear
defogger. An AM/FM stereo is there as well. Cruise control is noted
on the dash controls, as are self-dimming high beams. The headliner
in this car is stretched and presents beautifully as it hangs
tightly over your head. For your feet the pleasure of thick pile
saffron carpeting, showing slight fading on the hump with clear
floor mats to protect the carpet. I'm just mad about Saffron,
Saffron's mad about me...
Drivetrain
The big 425ci V8 is attached to a Turbo Hydramatic 400 3-speed
automatic transmission, (say that 3 times real fast!). Topping this
mill is a single 4-barrel carburetor, and way back is a 10-bolt
2.25 rear axle.
Undercarriage
Plenty room for potential problems, however none are really noted
here with clean panels, rockers, and frame structurally sound. We
note the coil spring front independent suspension, and 4 link with
coils on the rear. Power disc brakes up front, and power drum
brakes on the rear, with a factory replacement muffler and exhaust
system.
Drive-Ability
This car was one luxurious drive, in keeping up with the Cadillac
name. No disappointments on the test track save for an inoperable
driver's power seat. All else performed wonderfully, where the air
blew cold, brakes were bias free, and the tires held the curves
like a new mother holding her baby. After my drive I took a nap in
those Saffron leather recliners but don't tell the boss man...
("Boss makes a dollar I make a dime, that's why I sleep on company
time!")
Luxury and length at its finest. Cadillac was managing to ignore
the gas crisis that seemed to be going on all around it, and
despite this remained very popular. Grab a piece of GM history, all
in original condition and running like a fine watch, only it's a
Cadillac! Guaranteed to show up to anything in style, the Cadillac
Coupe DeVille, a storied classic in the luxury realm most of us
would never have had the chance to have known but now can..." As it
should be".
