Vehicle Description
1995 Cadillac DeVille
The name "DeVille" is derived from the French de la ville or de
ville meaning "of the town". In French coach building parlance, a
coupe de ville, from the French couper (to cut) i.e. shorten or
reduce, was a short four-wheeled closed carriage with an inside
seat for two and an outside seat for the driver and this smaller
vehicle was intended for use in the town or city (de ville).
This Cadillac is a three owner car, here for consignment, and your
driving pleasure. Recent upgrades include new copper/nickel brake
lines, a recent fully synthetic oil change, and a new battery.
Retaining the original window sticker and service records during
our consignor's ownership, this DeVille right out of 1995 also has
the desirable 4.9 liter engine, pre-dating the problematic
Northstar, and it makes 200hp!
Exterior
Long straight steel panels with nicely minded gaps are all bathed
in Dark Adriatic Blue which shows with some scuffs, scratches and
the beginnings of rust just below the fuel filler door. A somewhat
rounded off design, and a little larger rear doors than the fronts,
allows the important passengers plenty of private space in back. A
shiny egg crate grille is flanked by molded headlights that wrap
around the front quarters to form the parking and signal lighting.
Just below is a body matching neoprene bumper that has a chromed
trimming running through its upper quarter. This piece runs the
entire way around the car and adds a nice highlight to the Adriatic
Blue. The glass is all beautifully preserved and has some thin
tasteful trimming surrounds. On back the long trunk deck melts
seamlessly into the tail lighting which is a bit of a tribute to
the Caddy's of the mid 1960's with a thin vertical, now squared off
taillight. Turbine teardrop style aluminum wheels are wrapped by
thin white wall rubber.
Interior
Opening the big doors the luxury begins with molded plastic panels
in Neutral Shale which forms the pulls, armrests, and actuator
inserts. At the sill is a rounded molded on wood applique and below
uses beige carpeting. On the armrest we note toggles for power
windows, power seat adjustment, power locks, and power mirror
adjustments. Inside are large split back, (with a lowering
armrest), wide buckets covered in Neutral Shale leather which has
aged gracefully with some folds and no cracks. These present with
tuck and roll inserts and smooth bolsters. In back when we swing
the extra long doors we have full access to a rear bench with
another fold down armrest in the same pattern as the front buckets.
This bench is nice and tall on the backs and has a comfortable rest
at the top for extra head and neck support. These overstuffed
chairs float in a sea of clean beige carpeting. The dash top has an
undulating line which is covered in Neutral Shale padded vinyl.
Underneath is a wood applique panel that houses the blue LCD
speedo/mileage display in the center and is surrounded by many push
button controls for all the conveniences. The left dash has a trip
computer, and the right a temp control panel. Below in the center
is a digital blue LCD display AM/FM/Cassette stereo with a built-in
eq. More Neutral Shale molded plastic surrounds the wood framing
for the radio. Up top is a nice tight gray felted headliner. A nod
to the trunk which is the size of a NYC apartment and is lined with
gray felting.
Drivetrain
Under the hood in a detailed and shiny engine bay, is a 4.9 liter
V8. It is fed by EFI, and on back to spin the 2.73 front axle is a
4T60E 4-speed automatic transmission. All in reliable non NorthStar
form and producing 200hp.
Undercarriage
Showing some surface rust on various bolts that secure the floor
pans, and a smidge of patina all in the midst of a solid gray
unibody frame. This flooring and rockers have avoided any
accumulation of surface rust and present in a rust-free gray
finish. Front and rear power ABS disc brakes are all around. Rack
and pinion steering with all independent suspension is noted. A
clean back end of the exhaust with a new muffler is present.
Drive-Ability
A smooth riding quick starting car that can provide comfort for 6
even on a long haul. Plenty of gadgets and amenities for you to
play with and that traditional smooth cloud-like Cadillac ride. All
functions are working just fine save for a gear indicator
malfunction displayed and a very rough idle, otherwise it is
definitely a comfy cruiser.
Large and in charge, this long smooth Dark Adriatic Blue painted
luxury car is ready to please its next owners. At your service, and
all in Cadillac luxury.
