For Sale: 1965 Cadillac DeVille in Farmingdale, New York

1965 Cadillac Deville Convertible for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to present this beautiful 1965 Cadillac DeVille convertible featured in Cape Ivory with Saddle Tan leather interior and matching Tan convertible top. The 1965 model year marked the introduction of Cadillacs third generation DeVille series, as the model continued to be the mainstream model between the Calais (formerly the Series 62) and the upscale El Dorado. The DeVille nameplate was first used by the company in 1949 to denote a special trim level and the popularity eventually warranted the name becoming a model remaining in the Cadillac line through the 2005 model year. The newest generation was completely redesigned cosmetically from the 1964 model, with about the only similarity being both shared wheelbase dimensions of 129.5 inches. The 1965 models featured tailfins that were canted slightly downward and very sharp, distinct body lines replaced the more rounded shape of previous year presenting a much more angular appearance. A new straight bumper and tail light clusters gave the rear of the car a new look, while at the front end the quad headlights were changed from a horizontal position to a vertical position allowing for a new, wider grill. Cadillac has always been one of the top American luxury brands, and the mid-60s marked the peak era for convertibles with the motoring public. For decades, the brand has been among the favorites for socialites, entertainers and captains of business and industry and served as a status symbol indicating success. This 1965 Cadillac is reputed to have been formerly owned by comedian and TV and film celebrity, Joey Bishop. This 1965 Cadillac DeVille convertible, built the second week of December 1964 in Detroit, MI, is a classic example of mid-60s luxury. This Cadillac has had one quality respray and still presents well.

The bench-seat interior features an optional six-way power front seat while additional extra-cost options include electric vent windows, electric remote trunk release, power locks, soft-ray glass and automatic climate control air conditioning. The vehicle odometer reading of 87,612 miles is believed to be accurate. The car is a fine driver with style and luxury, and room for the whole family. Your inspection is invited.
