For Sale: 1977 Cadillac Coupe DeVille in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1977 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

"Figures show the 1977 Cadillac is far and away the most successful new car in Cadillac history. The question is; Why? Why have so many Americans chosen to own what we proudly call the next generation of luxury car.Coupe DeVille, Sedan DeVille and Fleetwood Brougham. The bottom line; in two of the most meaningful measurements of a car, resale value and repeat ownership, Cadillac consistently leads all U.S. luxury car makes." Excerpted from a 1977 print ad.

For consignment, a 1977 Cadillac Coupe Deville showing 79,451 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a NY title exemption. With a newer water pump , hoses and thermostat, this car made the four hour trek to Classic Auto Mall without a hitch, and is ready for many more miles ahead!

Exterior
Seamist Green covers the extra large steel panels on this land yacht, sporting a dark green padded vinyl top in great condition. The car leads with a wide, bold egg crate grille flanked by quad headlights and side markers that are also in line with the square motif. The nose is tall and capped with the skeletonized crest ornament while in back, vertical, pointed tail lights can be mistaken for no other vehicle in 1977 and reverse lights are strategically placed beside the license plate box. The front wheel opening is large while the rear is smaller, more aerodynamic perhaps, and both arch over 15-inch wheels with wire wheel covers for added sophistication. The overhangs are long, especially the back and the C-pillar extends well past the fixed rear window. Imperfections include scuff and discoloration on nose edges, chips and scratches throughout, off color touch ups, new bumper filler off color, scratches, rust at vinyl roof edge, crazing, orange peel, a rusted bumper, evident filler,

Interior
Various shades of green leather adorn the door panels which also include woodgrain backplates, chrome door pull bezels, 2 color courtesy light, and brushed aluminum switchgear faceplate. The split bench wears Medium Sage Green, showing some age and discoloration but both front and back are fully intact, each supplied with a pull down armrest. The combination of wood and sage remains prominent up front, first adopted by the steering wheel, cracked in several places, and the dashboard which retains its gloss and high end appearance, housing a horizontal speedometer and plastic wooded glove box. In between, you have an AM/FM radio where even the knobs wear woodgrain, and the A/C panel true to the palette. There are some cracks on the dash pad while plush green carpet remains in good condition, unburdened by a console as the shifter is column mounted and the column itself tilts. The headliner is dirty but intact, the visors show some droop, and the massive trunk is covered by a cut to fit carpet and houses a spare.

Drivetrain
The big 425ci V8 is attached to a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission and fueled by a four barrel carburetor. All that is good for 180 horsepower in 1977 and power is routed to the 10 bolt rear axle with 2.25 gears. The bay presents as clean, driver quality condition.

Undercarriage
Clean driver quality under here as well. A single exhaust runs through a stock style muffler and resonator and power brakes are the standard split of front disc and rear drum. Suspension includes coil springs front and back with 4 link included in back.

Drive-Ability
We'll call this one a floater, as the 75 series tires, although 24 years old, still help absorb road imperfections while the big V8 works to move this behemoth around the test loop in fine fashion. We note some exhaust leaks and the A/C is not working, but all other functions operate as they should on this top dog car of 1977. 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.

It has notable presence not only because of its length of more than 221 inches, but the striking and handsome configuration of light colored paint and dark vinyl roof from a time when GM owned the automotive landscape and Cadillac was the one to have.
