Cadillac is an auto manufacturer that has been known for its artistry at making outstanding, dramatic, and unforgettable cars. The Cadillac DeVille was originally a trim level and became a separate model that continued the Cadillac "Series 62" model. The name "DeVille" comes from the French words "de la Ville" or "de Ville," which means "of the town," which is plausible since these cars took over the city roads for half a century over eight generations. It's not every day that you'll come across a well-preserved, unique Cadillac such as our subject 1964 Cadillac DeVille Convertible. This point is proven, with the owner stating, "I get stopped everywhere I go asking about the car." It is located in Texas, rebuilt, and comes with the original owner's manual and Cadillac magazines. With just 74000 miles on the odometer, this car represents a rare opportunity to buy a collectible Cadillac.

Exterior and Interior

The Cadillac DeVille went through a phase of restyling and re-engineering for the second generation. For the 1964 model (such as our subject car), a Bi-angular Grille with a V-shape in both vertical and horizontal planes was added up front. In addition, the main horizontal grille bar was carried along the sides of the body, while the parking and cornering lamps were housed in the outer grille extension panels. Our particular DeVille features a blacked-out exterior impression with black body color and black wheels with Cadillac emblems. The tires are recently installed with less than 3000 miles driven with them. The car was repainted before the current owner bought it and has had all its front and rear lamps replaced. It carries a new hood pad, bumper hood, and a Cadillac front end kit and is also newly resealed. The pristine theme is continued inside, getting better when you open the DeVille's door as you're greeted with the glamorous red leather interior. The leather bench seats provide seating for four adults in ample comfort. The dash features air conditioning controls, gauges, a radio, and a two-spoke Cadillac steering wheel.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1964 Cadillac DeVille Convertible is a 429 cubic inch V8 engine that made 340 horsepower from the factory. Power is handled via an automatic transmission while the driveshaft support and bearing kit has been recently replaced. Other preventative maintenance carried out to the mechanicals includes new rear coil springs, rear and front gas shocks, a new exhaust gasket, a new windshield washer bottle, a replaced driveshaft, and suspension bearings, checked and repaired shaft and balance. Added to this is a front brake conversion kit and rebuilt engine block.
