Vehicle Description
For those who appreciate the grandeur of American automotive
history, the 1972 Cadillac Coupe DeVille stands as a testament to a
time when luxury was defined by size, style, and an unspoken
elegance. With only 28,793 original miles on the odometer, this
particular example is a true survivor. It still retains much of the
authenticity that made the Cadillac brand iconic, showcasing its
proud heritage with subtle grace.
Powered by the formidable 472 cubic-inch, 7.7L V8 engine, this
Coupe DeVille offers an effortlessly smooth driving experience that
Cadillac is known for. The power from the V8 is managed by an
automatic transmission, delivering a ride that is both commanding
and graceful. The engine bay is immaculate, a reflection of the
car's well-preserved condition, while the trunk is in equally
excellent shape, featuring the original spare tire and jack that
appear untouched, standing as reminders of this car's careful
preservation over the decades.
This vehicle is an original Florida car and includes the 1972
Florida license plate, adding an extra layer of nostalgia and
authenticity to its history. The body has been lovingly maintained
with one repaint in its original Promenade Gold Metallic finish.
The survivor status of this Coupe DeVille is palpable-there are
minor chips and scratches, as expected for a vehicle of its age,
but they only add to its story, rather than detract from its
beauty. For those seeking a pure, unmodified classic, this Cadillac
delivers with its original interior, though the front seats appear
to have been redyed to maintain their pristine look. The Cadillac
embroidered floor mats complete the interior's old-world luxury,
further enveloping the driver in an aura of mid-century
opulence.
Step inside, and you'll find a host of comfort features that were
cutting-edge for their time. The power seat, power windows, and
power locks make adjusting to your comfort a breeze, while the tilt
and telescopic steering wheel provides a customizable driving
position that enhances the overall ride quality. Though the factory
air conditioning is complete, it will require some servicing, as
the compressor is not currently functioning. However, with a bit of
attention, this system will bring back that cool, refreshing
comfort that made the Coupe DeVille such a pleasure to cruise in on
those long, warm drives. The cruise control further adds to the
car's relaxed driving ethos, making it an excellent candidate for
those leisurely weekend drives down the coast or through the
countryside.
While the AM/FM/8-Track radio powers on, it currently produces only
static, indicating that the antenna may need replacement or the
system may require a rebuild to bring back that nostalgic
soundtrack of the '70s. Still, all the exterior lights are in
working order, ensuring visibility on the road, although the dash
blinker indicators are currently not operational, despite the
blinkers themselves working correctly.
A set of tires that show in excellent condition add to the car's
roadworthiness, though they have developed flat spots over time.
With some attention, these too can be brought back to provide the
smooth and quiet ride expected from such a magnificent cruiser.
In its essence, this 1972 Cadillac Coupe DeVille is more than just
a car-it is a time capsule, a rolling piece of history that
embodies the spirit of American luxury. With only a modest amount
of work needed to bring it to full potential, it represents an
excellent opportunity for any enthusiast looking to own a piece of
Cadillac's golden era. Its combination of low mileage, originality,
and classic charm makes it a perfect cruiser for those who
appreciate the finer things in life, delivered with a timeless
sense of elegance.
