"Beautifully new, distinctively Cadillac. Cadillac craftsmen are
accustomed to building the finest of motor cars, even if they have
never built one like this before! The 1969 Cadillac is an
automotive masterpiece, completely new in styling, with major
innovations in design, appointments and decor. Tasteful new fabrics
adorn the spacious interiors, and Cadillac's conveniences are even
more plentiful." From a 1969 print ad.
For consignment, a 1969 Cadillac Sedan Deville 4 door hardtop
showing 95,360 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This car was
featured in Counting Cars and built by Kevin Mack on the show,
restored in 2018 and can be seen in season 4, episode 5.
Exterior
Eye catching show quality shine and design adorn this big car with
Baby Blue serving as the base and character lines accentuated with
a fade of darker blue which also borders the sweeping stripes that
begin at the front wheel opening. Those spear-like white stripes
are repeated on the rise of the hood giving the car an otherworldly
and artful presentation. Spun metal accenting adds another
dimension to the design as does the complex white pinstripe
flourish on the hood. Even the fender skirts were not spared,
sporting a white streak of their own and giving the car the
ultimate cruiser profile, here on 15-inch Superior Wheels with
225/70R15 that have a late 2020 date code, and white walls! A white
roof rimmed in blue brings it all together and the few
imperfections we find include a small blemish on a front fender
point, cracking surface at the A-pillar, a chip on a skirt, and a
few chips in the chrome bumper.
Interior
The interior is a tasteful array of tan leather with blue stitching
throughout, beginning on the door panels of all four doors which
present cleanly. The nicely padded split bench seat maintains the
motif and along with the rear bench, is in fantastic shape, each
with a large pull down armrest, a cool cruising requisite. A wood
steering wheel fronts a dash that mixes old with new along with
some blue accenting while the surround and dash pad go with the
gray leather coverage. An AM/FM/CD radio is on board and down
below, a custom center console includes a pair of cupholders and a
pair of gauges. The otherwise open floor is covered in blue carpet
that is matched in the finished trunk. Over our heads, a tan
headliner spreads wide and clean.
Drivetrain
It's a show car so naturally the engine includes some of the
Count's pinstriping on the air filter housing and valve covers,
both based in blue. It's a 472ci V8 with a whopping 375 horsepower
and a 4-barrel carburetor, backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic
transmission and 2.94 gears in the rear axle. Power brakes, power
steering, and A/C provided by Vintage Air are all part of the
package.
Undercarriage
The clean underside is uniformly black save for the single exhaust
that runs through a FlowMaster muffler before arching over the rear
axle and terminating through a steel pipe in back. Coil spring
suspension is utilized front and rear with a 4 link in back and
brakes are the standard set up of power disc up front and power
drums in back. We find dry and rust free conditions underneath.
Drive-Ability
Look out, Morgantown! You've never seen anything like this long
ride! The big V8 comes to life without hesitation and this custom
cruiser makes its way around the test loop in fine fashion. As you
gaze over the massive hood, point big blue where you want it to go
and it gets the job done with a smooth ride and plenty of power
underfoot. Other than the clock, all functions operate as intended
on this well sorted build. While Classic Auto Mall represents that
these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we
cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of
your purchase.
Practice this. Left elbow on the windowsill, fingers guiding the
steering wheel. Right elbow on the armrest, cold non alcoholic
beverage in hand. Right foot controlling the speed of the ship.
That's the only cruise posture you'll need to make an impression as
the car will do most of the talking. With some television
provenance and an immaculate custom paint job, this will be the hit
of every car show you attend!
