Vehicle Description
1997 Cadillac Sedan 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 two-owner car, here for consignment, and your
driving pleasure. Overall fair condition, runs, and needs some
TLC
Exterior
A dark brown roadster roof which has some separation around the
window surrounds due to dry rotting. Exterior painted in cream,
shows some patina, scratches, and dings, but retains its shine.
Particularly along the belt trimline there are some paint chips, as
well as on the hood a scratch, and lower front grille intake some
scratching. Headlights are fogged a bit however very few if any
dings and dents. Standard Cadillac hubcaps are on all four
corners.
Interior
Original leather presents in excellent condition. Very plush
tufting in the center with stitched bolsters, split buckets in
front and a bench in back are noted. Thick pile carpeting with some
marking shows but overall good condition. Full electronic controls
are seen in the arms of the door and include power windows, power
seat adjustments, and power mirror adjustments. A digital dash with
plenty of readouts, and warning messages are in the instrument
cluster.
Drivetrain
A Northstar V8 (4.6 liter) coupled with a 4-speed automatic with
overdrive.
Undercarriage
Front and rear power ABS disc brakes are all around. Rack and
pinion steering with coil sprung front suspension and McPherson
struts. Coil spring and short and long arm suspension in the
rear.
A smooth riding quick starting car that can provide comfort for 6
even on a long haul. A few faults, but mostly a fair to good car
that seems to be in need of some maintenance.
