Finished in striking Lipstick Red with a crisp white convertible
top, this extraordinary 1966 Cadillac DeVille Convertible Sedan is
a rare piece of American coachbuilt automotive history. Cadillac
did not offer a factory-produced four-door convertible in 1966.
This remarkable automobile, however, was transformed into exactly
that-a luxurious open-air Sedan DeVille professionally coachbuilt
by Hess & Eisenhardt. The result is an automobile that combines the
elegance and presence of a full-size Cadillac sedan with the
unmistakable experience of top-down motoring. Beneath the expansive
hood is Cadillac's legendary 429 cubic-inch V8, a 7.0-liter
big-block equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and rated at 340
horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. It delivers the effortless
power, smooth acceleration, and commanding road manners expected
from a Cadillac of this era. The dramatic Lipstick Red exterior is
beautifully contrasted by the white convertible top and luxurious
black leather interior. Adding a unique modern touch, this Cadillac
rides on a set of custom one-off 20-inch wheels, specially designed
to mimic the appearance of the original Cadillac wheel covers,
while maintaining the classic presence of whitewall tires. But this
Cadillac is more than a beautiful and unusual automobile-it is an
experience. Despite its age, rarity, and collector significance, it
drives like new, delivering the smooth, quiet, effortless ride that
helped establish Cadillac as the Standard of the World. The Hess &
Eisenhardt name adds another level of significance to this already
extraordinary automobile. Coachbuilt four-door convertibles from
this era are rarely encountered, and the opportunity to own one
with this level of presence, performance, and pedigree is even more
unusual. Whether arriving at a prestigious automotive event,
leading a parade, appearing at a concours, or simply cruising with
family and friends under an open sky, this 1966 Cadillac commands
attention everywhere it goes. This is not simply a classic
Cadillac. It is a rare coachbuilt automobile representing a vision
that Cadillac itself never offered to the public. Highlights *
