GM partnered with Scaletta Moloney Armoring – the preferred U.S. government supplier of armored vehicles – to bring to market a state-of-the-art armored Cadillac DeVille. This special DeVille will provide an added level of security to executives, officials and others who may require protection and security as they travel. The DeVille Protection Series was available in both a standard sedan and an 8-inch stretch model, with a range of options to suit individual customer requirements. Though this DeVille incorporates many advanced features – from ballistic steel and glass, to a special run-flat wheel and tire system, and a self-sealing fuel tank – it is designed to be inconspicuous and not draw undue attention to the vehicle or its occupants. DeVille’s armoring has been designed by engineers with expertise in systems design, ballistics, physics and blast analysis. The DeVille Protection Series is rated to meet National Institute of Justice Level IIIA requirements, which means the vehicle is capable of withstanding attack from firearms as large and as powerful as a .44 magnum handgun. It is designed to protect against acts of violence committed with the most common firearms available in the United States today. Each window – side, rear and windshield – of the DeVille Protection Series is made of bullet-resistant glass incorporating the latest ballistic technology. The multi-layer construction is designed to withstand the impact of bullets fired from a wide variety of firearms. The DeVille Protection Series also uses a new, state-of-the-art method for armor protection developed by Scaletta Moloney Armoring. A protective shell is built using ballistic steel panels that are formed with great precision. These carefully fitted panels, which overlap at critical points, are then hand-welded together at close tolerances to ensure the highest quality. The shell is then welded to the chassis. Ballistic steel is covered by ordinary steel on roof, sides and undercarriage to form the protective shell that, along with the ballistic glass, helps protect the vehicle’s occupants. The vehicle also is equipped to ensure continuous mobility, even with zero tire pressure. The Enhanced Mobility System combines a special two-piece, heavy-duty wheel and beadlock system with an advanced run-flat tire insert. Also included is a tire pressure monitoring system that continuously monitors the pressure in each tire and alerts the driver if one or more tires start to lose air pressure. The wheel’s beadlock system positively secures the tire to the rim. The advanced run-flat tire insert is constructed of specially formulated and reinforced rubber that greatly reduces road-handling degradation in run-flat conditions. Even with a flat tire, drivers can still travel up to 30 miles and maintain a 30-mph speed. This allows the DeVille Protection Series to continue moving – under control – as the driver navigates to a “safe” area. DeVille Protection Series were available in four exterior colors for 2004: Black Raven, Light Cashmere, Light Platinum and Thunder Gray. The standard leather seating surfaces on this special DeVille could be ordered in Black, Neutral Shale and Dark Gray. The armored version is built on DeVille's heavy duty professional vehicle chassis and is powered by the 4.6L Northstar V8 engine, which offers 275HP and 300lb-ft of torque. Refined. Sophisticated. Technologically advanced. Cadillac Professional Vehicles were specially engineered, designed, and built to withstand the rigors of commercial use by the livery, hotel/resort and funeral industries. Cadillac developed an exclusive Cadillac Master Coachbuilder Program to support coachbuilder efforts, to provide quality products, and to increase levels of customer satisfaction with these professional vehicles. Since Cadillac recognizes that Cadillac Master Coachbuilders are committed to those objectives, along with continuous improvement of their conversions, Cadillac limited this protection to those limousines and professional vehicles manufacturers by Cadillac Master Coachbuilders. The particular car has rarely been used, obviously always been garaged and has a clean CARFAX report to confirm both its extraordinarily low original mileage and the professionally built chassis. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a virtually unused professionally built armored Cadillac with only 11K original miles at a fraction of its original cost.
