styling and engineering prowess than the 1968 Cadillac Coupe De
Ville with its padded vinyl roof, elegant interiors of Sierra-grain
leather and fine Cadillac luxuries - Drive one like this particular
example and you will see why - its hard to believe that this car
was built almost 50 years ago! These cars bristled with the latest
in modern appointments and had few rivals in the luxury market and
were purchased only by the very privileged few. The all new
472/375HP V8 engine with 525 foot pounds of torque was introduced
in 1968, it was the biggest and smoothest engine built by Cadillac
to date and it proved unsurpassed in the industry as the largest
engine ever put in a production passenger motor car and provided
both sparkling acceleration, yet also quiet and effortless highway
cruising, almost like having two engines! The car was also
redesigned to match its modern engine with a new grille with finely
spaced horizontal grille bars and distinct parking and headlamp
lights. This particular car oozes pride of ownership with the the
floor boards, trunk and all the typical rust-prone areas solid and
rust-free and the car has absolutely no signs of any accidents and
seemingly all original paint - obviously an always cherished
'Garage Queen' since new. The 472/375HP 4 barrel V8 engine is
extremely strong and powerful and sounds absolutely magnificent and
this particular car drives absolutely magnificently - must be
driven to be believed - does not miss a beat and purrs like a
kitten - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles,
shakes or rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver that still
drives as it must have the day it left the showroom floor almost 50
years ago! The transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and
the car is an absolute pleasure to drive! The car has always
obviously always been well maintained and reportedly has only 50K
original miles and only two Oregon state owners since new! All the
options work as they should including all the power options, the
power windows, power seats and the factory air conditioning! The
car boasts its original spare wheel and jack in the truck!This is
an extraordinarily rare opportunity to own a great daily driving
example of a mostly completely original 1968 Cadillac Coupe de
Ville showing pride of ownership throughout in great driving and
looking condition with almost every possible factory available
option installed and with a believed to be 50K original miles!
