& Chicago Car Club are pleased to present this 1976 Cadillac Sedan
deVille! At just shy of 20ft in length and over 5100lbs in weight,
this �76 Sedan deVille is one big, beautiful piece of automotive
history. This car is a very well-preserved example of Cadillac's
final pillar-less hardtop sedan, from a time that luxury and
comfort were paramount. This car is a real dream boat, it floats
down the road in a manner that can only be described as effortless.
The cabin is dead silent at speed and the seats are so comfortable
that a full day of highway cruising doesn't sound even the least
bit daunting. This �76 Sedan deVille has covered just 65,680 miles
over the course of its 42 year life. Considering the state of it's
original Firethorn Metallic paint and the matching Firethorn
interior, the car has been well taken care of throughout those 42
years. Exterior: First off, paint. Firethorn metallic is a lovely
color. While it's considered red, it's really much more of a coral.
Paint is original, as confirmed with an elcometer, and has a great
metallic sparkle to it under direct light. The paint shows very
well. There are a handful of small chips scattered about the car,
with by far the most significant chipping being on the driver's
side of the trunk lid (see photo). White pinstripes are without
cracks or wear, and contrast extremely well against the metallic
coral paint. Chrome is excellent throughout, and really completes
the look of this big sedan. There is no oxidation or damage on the
chrome at all; it shines nice and bright with a mirror-like finish.
Landau hardtop is in pristine condition, with absolutely no
scratches, scrapes, or damage. There are a few small door-dings on
the car, with two light dings on the trunk lid and another on the
passenger rear quarter. There is some minor bubbling beginning to
form under the paint at the lowest points of the rear skirts (see
photos). All doors close without any fuss. Glass is clear and crack
and scratch-free throughout. Interior: The interior of the car
presents extremely well. Phenomenally comfortable Firethorn cloth
seats with leather bolsters are in great shape, with no tears or
stains. Seats are powered, as are windows and mirrors. Carpets are
also stain and tear free both front and rear. The car will come
with its original Firethorn floormats, which are in nice shape.
Headliner is tight. All powered systems are functional - dash
lights, cruise control, heat, seat adjustments, radio, and gauges.
Air conditioning blows, but is on R12 refrigerant and is not cold.
All lights are functional both inside and out. Odometer is
functional and currently reads 65,680 miles. Under the Hood /
Underbody: This Sedan deVille retains its original 500cid 8.2L V8.
The car runs and drives very, very well. Starts right up without
fault, idles cool and steady, and tracks nice and straight down the
road. Brakes feel very good, with no hooking in either direction.
The car has no tendencies or noises of concern; it eats up
speedbumps and potholes quietly and smoothly. Underneath, the car
is in nice shape. There is no rust of any structural concern. Frame
rails and rockers are solid. The only spot of rust is at the
forward bottom corner of the driver's side rear skirt, which we've
provided a photo of. Overall, this �76 Sedan deVille is a
well-preserved example that screams 70s-cool wi
