Cadillac's interestingly-named De Ville series of full-size luxury cars has a history spanning eight generations and 46 years. The term De Ville is French, signifying 'of the town,' indicating that Cadillac intended these cars to be the talk of the town. Now, you can be the talk of your town if you purchase this reportedly all-original 1970 Cadillac De Ville Convertible today. A fine third-generation example, it's done just over 83,000 miles to reach you and comes with plenty of character.
This imposing 1970 Cadillac De Ville Convertible measures 225 inches from tip to tail and spreads across nearly 80 inches of the road from side to side. Clearly, a car for those who wish to make a statement, the rich red paint job and contrasting white roof perfectly accomplish this, as to the quad headlamps and imposing chrome grille. Even the side mirrors have the Cadillac script daintily etched into their housings. You'll find wreaths framing the door key holes, and wire-effect wheels wear white-striped tires in true Seventies luxury fashion. As we're informed that this is an all-original and thus unrestored example, you'll find a few blemishes and rough edges here and there, so go easy on this 53-year-old luxury land yacht. As you step into this 1970 Cadillac De Ville Convertible's interior, you'll notice Cadillac-crested floor mats, plush black seats, and wood trim along the dash and door cards. Amenities include an analog clock, a push-button radio, climate control, a power convertible top, and power windows. A plaque within the door sills informs you that the body was made by Fisher, and the interior is the work of Fleetwood. This was quite common for luxury car makers back in the day to entrust separate specialists with body, interior and mechanical work. The trunk of this all-original example shows the car's age but is in admirable condition and can be used. It's also home to the full-size spare wheel, a rarity in modern cars.
A monstrous 472ci (7.7L) overhead valve V8 engine powers the land yacht and develops over 350 horsepower to move it in an appropriate fashion. A three-speed TH-400 automatic transmission is tasked with sending power to the rear wheels.
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.
The definitive daddy of full-size American luxury SUVs, the Cadillac Escalade has become a household name in the segment. Introduced in 1998, the Escalade is now in the fifth generation of production and is well-known for its spacious interior, formidable V8 engine choices, and luxurious amenities. It’s also got four-wheel drive if you choose, making it capable off-road if you need it to be. Today’s 2018 Cadillac Escalade comes from the fourth generation of the name, and has done a reported over 77,000 miles. Its V8 engine is reportedly a strong and reliable performer, plus the rest of the car appears in excellent shape. So, it’s a fantastic family hauler for those who don’t want to spend a price premium on a brand-new full-size luxury SUV. If you’re in search of a smart deal, then this car awaits your consideration in Millbrae, California.
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.
Do you want a four-door sedan that’s fast, powerful, amazingly potent-looking and above all, American? If so, may we humbly recommend this 2019 Cadillac CTS-V from Toledo with just 9,500 miles done so far? The CTS was Cadillac’s midsize luxury car offering between 2003 and 2019. It went head-to-head with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5-Series and Audi A6. However, Cadillac also wanted to make a potent variant, which it denoted with a simple hyphen and a V at the end of the car’s name. Packing a powerful American V8 under the hood, the CTS-V represented a formidable alternative in the midsize performance luxury sedan market right up until its discontinuation in 2019. So, this particular car is one of the last of an era of excitement. It’s also got the V Series Preferred Equipment Group, Luxury Package and All-Weather Mat Protection Package. Snap it up right before someone else does!
There comes a time when a car takes things up a notch and has cult following status the moment it leaves its factory floors. BMW’s range of M3’s are most definitely that type, with most models redefining what the perfect drive experience is like. Present today is what is arguably one of the M3’s finest and takes shape with this 1995 BMW M3 Coupe. With a reported 53,000 miles on its clock, this one-owner German powerhouse is a true rare example that keeps on giving on every drive out and also serves as a very savvy investment in the years to come.
The Corvette C3 is one of the most attractive cars in the model's eight-generation history. No wonder that so many astronauts were willing to be seen in one of these. During the third generation of the Corvette, they introduced an edition for those who understand that performance is more than just speed; it's about presence, precision, and power. This is none other than the 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector's Edition. Corvette likes to describe it as “limited production with unlimited passion.” The example we are showing here bears 18,800 miles on its odometer and is currently located in Laurel, Maryland.
The MG MGB is one of a series of fine open-topped British roadsters produced by the iconic automaker Morris Garages. Today, Morris Garages or MG is under Chinese ownership and makes a range of SUVs and sedans, but they’re working on a slick new electric roadster to recapture the spirit of yesteryear. However, the popular saying goes, there’s nothing like the original. So why not capture that spirit yourself and buy this Florida-based 1979 MG MGB Roadster from us? With a mere 74,767 miles to its name, this car has been in the custody of the same owner for 32 years and reportedly includes recent maintenance receipts as well. Join us as we take a deep dive into what’s on offer here, and don’t hesitate to call or DM us if you want to own this beauty.
