All original with one respray in it’s original Monterey Green Firemist color. 61,223 original miles. If there was an equivalent to a performance muscle car in the Cadillac line of the 1960s, this beautiful Coupe Deville from 1968 would be a contender. The massive two-door package was noted in the period literature as a “rich new dimension in motoring pleasure,” and this example shows. For connoisseurs of the brand, 1968 heralded fresh power thanks to the new 472 CI V-8 engine, a massive displacement that quickly proved durable enough that it became the basis for Cadillac standard power for the next nine model seasons, eventually hitting 500 CI. This 4-barrel package is backed by an automatic transmission, and obviously Cadillac kept it quietly running at all RPM levels through its well-designed exhaust. With 224 inches of Fisher-stamped steel riding on a 129.5-inch wheelbase, the 4,600-pound model had new refinements to the exterior as well, with the restated grille treatment and raised-center decklid being the most prominent.
