Exceptionally low mileage, all the luxury amenities, and true
American style... This 1978 Cadillac Coupe DeVille is the
one-family triple-green classic that delivers a time capsule
feeling the moment it floats down the road.
This car has been in one family all its life thus far. So when
we're told the odometer reflects the full actual mileage (averaging
under 800 miles annually) it's quite easy to believe. Of course,
it's also the overall condition of this classic Caddy that
reinforced the well-respected and low-mileage feeling. The
Blackwatch Green Metallic paint is the factory-correct color, and
it has been treated to a quality respray later in life to continue
an emerald-like glow. There are terrific details, like the detailed
white pinstriping and a coordinating green vinyl top that was
freshly replaced in 2021. It makes for a premium style even before
you check out the brightwork. Mirror-like bumpers, detailed window
trim, and classic wire wheel covers are pure Cadillac style. And we
love the upgraded grille with classic 1940s-style hood ornament
leading the way. It just seems to let everyone know that this one
is special.
If you liked the deep green color of the exterior, then you'll love
what you'll see when you open the door. The Antique Dark Green
makes for the seldom-seen triple-green (paint, roof, and interior.)
This is the right mix of preservation and investment so that the
leather upholstery is supple, the carpeting is nice, the dash is
smooth, and the headliner feels new. It's loaded with all the best
features, like power windows, cruise control, tilt steering column,
power locks, and cold-blowing air conditioning. This is so period
correct that you might need a few moments to understand how to
operate the factory 8-track player that's still part of the AM/FM
stereo! There are more of these time capsule feelings everywhere
from the bright courtesy lights to the full wood-like trim package.
Just like any good Cadillac, it has space for six people, but the
fold-down armrests and power front seat means individual comfort.
And the trunk is large enough to carry the whole foursome's golf
clubs.
Under the hood is the monstrous 425 cubic-inch V8 motor with a
four-barrel carburetor. Not only does this look exceptionally
honest/original but it's also the confirmed numbers-matching
powerhouse. It has been maintained correctly so that it fires up
eagerly and hits the road with confidence. Emissions regulations of
that era had taken out some of the horsepower, but this Caddy is
quick off the stoplights because it makes enough torque to rival
the modern full-size Cadillacs. The cruising attitude is heightened
by a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission, supple
suspension, power steering, and power brakes with discs up
front.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual packet, some
spares, and a car cover so you can properly tuck this family
heirloom into your garage at night. This is the triple-green
DeVille presented to be true rolling nostalgia. Call today!!!
