- 1970 Model Year Cadillac Deville
- Automatic
- V8
- All Original
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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
