Vehicle Description
This 1979 Cadillac Coupe DeVille represents a boulevard-owning
style with a torque-filled V8, a cool color combo, and the right
investments - including cold-blowing A/C - to keep a solid cruising
Caddy.
The Saffron Metallic paint has a unique style maturity in its
respray that will make many people think you have a survivor. We
think that's kinda cool because these Coupe DeVilles always seem
like they carry everything with dignity - including their history.
That's why the sharply styled bumpers shine bright, the body panels
have a clean/straight style, and the vinyl half-roof has a
distinctive but coordinated appearance. And we love the brightwork
details, from the wide grille up front to the wire wheel covers to
the taillights that stick out just enough as a tribute to the
legendary Cadillac tailfin. It all reminds us that elegance is
earned over time.
You may have noticed a slightly darker shade of the car's
copper-tone used for a pinstripe, and when you open the door, you
understand exactly why. The deeper color looks quite nice in the
deep pile carpeting and smooth dash. The idea inside is to appear
highly stock and vintage. It gets that feeling correct right down
to details like the AM/FM 8-track stereo and all the lights that
greet you when the door opens. But there are also subtle upgrades
that you don't see but they make a big difference. For example,
there have been investments in the last few years to keep the power
seat operating smoothly, and there was a new air conditioning
system installed. You also have power windows, power locks, a tilt
steering column, cruise control, a rear defogger, and enough
interior space and cargo room to invite everyone along for a road
trip.
Under the hood is the monstrous 425 cubic-inch V8 motor with a
four-barrel carburetor on top. While it looks as honest as the day
it left the Detroit factory, we're told there have been the right
investments to keep this running correctly. It includes the
radiator, thermostat, brake booster, and battery. It makes for an
eager torque-filled powerhouse that really showcases its might
every time you get up from a stoplight. And the driving experience
is properly luxurious with power steering (with new idler arm
bushings,)power brakes, front discs, newer shocks, and a
three-speed automatic transmission.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, service manuals,
and maintenance records. We like this Cadillac because it has the
right mix of well-aged charm and true luxury features. And if you
decide you need to update anything more to your tastes, the value
price should leave room in your budget. So if you're ready to
cruise in comfort and style, call today!
