Reflecting on the classic automotive landscape, particularly in the '60s and '70s, it becomes evident that vehicles of that era were far more than mere modes of transportation. They were akin to mobile masterpieces, where form and function converged into a mesmerizing symphony. In this golden age, automobiles were sculpted with boundless creativity, transforming them into rolling works of art. Among these, Cadillac emerged as a beacon of bold elegance and remarkable design, leaving an indelible mark on the automotive world. Among the iconic nameplates that graced Cadillac's lineup, the Cadillac DeVille stands as a testament to this legacy. Spanning eight generations of production, the DeVille encapsulates the essence of Cadillac's commitment to luxurious sophistication and timeless design. In the spotlight today is a remarkable specimen - the 1963 Cadillac DeVille Sedan, representing the second generation of this illustrious lineage. With a modest 42,000 miles on its journey, this vintage masterpiece stands as a living testament to the bygone era of automotive excellence. The vehicle's astonishing state of preservation and authenticity is a testimony to the enduring allure of classic Cadillac craftsmanship.
The 1963 Cadillac DeVille Sedan presents an irresistible blend of vintage charm, exuding an aura of elegance with its resplendent olive exterior. Notably, the lower body showcases the characteristic "skeg fins," gracefully adorned with slender spear molding that imparts a sophisticated touch, emblematic of enduring allure. Yet, it's the striking tailfins that command attention, their sharp contours conveying an assertive presence while seamlessly integrating sleek taillights. This DeVille stands as a true testament to its era, with meticulously preserved details down to the quad headlights, which radiate a warm glow as the night falls. A careful restoration effort is evident in the freshly coated undercarriage, complemented by the assurance of newly installed brakes on all four wheels, solidifying its timeless beauty and functionality. As you step into the embrace of the 1963 Cadillac DeVille Sedan's interior, you're greeted by a harmonious brown and white palette. The vintage two-spoke steering wheel takes center stage, adorned with a captivating red center that adds a dash of flair. The bar-style speedometer on the dashboard is a charming nod to its heritage, evoking a sense of nostalgia. The cabin is adorned with conveniences such as power windows, and the chrome accents on the dashboard and door panels exemplify the exquisite attention to detail that defines this classic masterpiece.
Under the hood, the 1963 Cadillac DeVille Sedan houses a formidable 390 cubic inch V8 engine, harmoniously mated to an automatic gearbox. The present owner has conscientiously replaced gaskets and seals, safeguarding the engine's essential fluids from any potential leaks. In pursuit of impeccable performance, the transmission fluid has undergone a comprehensive flush, a meticulous step towards ensuring a seamlessly smooth and responsive ride.
Late 50s Chevys and mid 60s Cadillacs have always been popular candidates for restomod projects. However, not all of them are tastefully done like this fully restored 1965 Cadillac de Ville convertible restomod. 1965 was the first model year for the 3rd generation De Ville. It retained the same wheelbase as its predecessor, but the frame was a new perimeter frame (rather than the old X frame). The horizontal headlamp arrangement that had been standard since the late 50s was dropped in favor of a vertical arrangement, which also resulted in a wider grille. Gone were the softer lines of the old car, replaced by a sharper, more boxy design. The tailfins that had started shrinking since 1960 were now lower and slanted slightly downwards rather than slightly upwards. The new straight lines in its design make this car just as good looking with the top down as it does with the top up.
The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
The De Ville name was first introduced as a standalone model range in 1959 and would remain a significant part of the Cadillac lineup up till 2005. The 4th generation came in 1971, and every subsequent year brought styling changes until the smaller 5th generation was released in 1977. 1974 brought changes to the front end (like a new grille and a new headlamp layout), and the introduction of a new option; the Air Cushion Restraint System (what is now known as airbags) for both front-seat occupants. It was, however, a costly option that didn’t prove popular among buyers and was discontinued after 1976. A 1971 Coupe De Ville reportedly came 3rd in the Cannonball Run, averaging 84.6mph and 8.9mpg.
Cadillac’s most popular model has got to be the Eldorado. Introduced in 1952, it enjoyed a fantastic fifty-year production run across twelve generations. The name Eldorado is inspired, as you may guess, by the Spanish term, and means ‘The Gilded One’. It’s also based on the Colombian lost city of Gold, namely El Dorado. With such nomenclature, you’d expect the Eldorado to be something, and those who have sampled one wholeheartedly agree that it could be the defining feature of Cadillac’s brand proposition. Today’s 1984 Cadillac Eldorado comes from Greensboro, North Carolina and has covered under 51,000 miles to date. It’s a fine tenth generation example, and a perfect embodiment of the Eighties as a result.
In the early 2000s, Cadillac wanted to build a stylish and fashion-inspired grand tourer. Cue up the XLR, with its Bulgari-designed gauge cluster, smooth styling, creamy V8 power and powered hardtop. It was meant to take the luxury grand tourer fight to the Germans, but at the time never quite achieved the success envisioned. General Motors aimed to sell at least 5,000 per year, but over the car’s nine-year production run, a mere 15,460 found homes. However, that means that the XLR is now an interesting curio, a future classic, and a car that’s actually rarer than some Italian exotica! So if you want to experience something American that’s actually quite nice to drive and live with, we’ve got a 2006 Cadillac XLR from Lake Tapps, Washington for sale. This car has reportedly covered 64,300 miles so far and looks in great condition.

Coronet is one of those names from Dodge that the current generation won’t know about, but the previous one definitely will. This nameplate floated around Dodge’s hierarchy for a few decades, moving between the automaker’s full size and mid size offerings. It was made as a coupe, convertible, sedan, station wagon and even a elongated 8-person limousine in early iterations. Now, we’ve got a nice fifth-generation 1967 Dodge Coronet for sale, from the period when the Coronet was a midsize car. This particular car is something of a restomod and resides in Anderson, California. Oh, and it’s quite suitable to go racing in, as well as own and cherish. Let’s learn more.
Fondly known as the Goat, the Pontiac GTO is one of Pontiac’s most hallowed models from the Sixties. It was conceived as a smart way to get around a General Motors management ban on divisions competing in auto racing. Three gentlemen named Bill Collins, John Z DeLorean and Russ Gee found a way round this ban. Why not give customers a car that they can then race when and how they please? Simply focus on street performance with a healthy dose of usability tossed in, then let customers do as they please. With a name inspired by none other than the Ferrari 250 GTO of the 1950s, the Pontiac GTO was born. Today’s 1967 Pontiac GTO is from the first generation and comes with under 70,000 miles on the clock. Hence, it’s a great classic to own and love, as well as drive enthusiastically. It’s also got an interesting gearbox!
