1967 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
You don't have to be a celebrity to own a classic Caddy, and the proof is in the pudding right here in the halls of Classic Auto Mall, and on the red carpet is this 1967 Coupe DeVille, (meaning car of the town). This big old Caddy-skate with its large Detroit ironsides, luxury appointments and dripping with mid 60's elegance is sure to not be on stage here too long because these have become desirable stars in their own right.
Exterior
Photographers will be burning up flashbulbs clamoring to get a glimpse of this long and strong '67, (at least ours was!). And the images he captured will show every aspect of this celebrity draped in Baroque Gold, large straight steel all minding their gaps nicely. Just a few very minor rust bubbles are noted down low on the body, but one must look hard to find them. Upfront we see a specimen in gleaming rust and dimple free chrome bumper framing an egg crate grille with outboard mounted signal lamps. Dual stacked headlights flanking a large and long hood with a cloisonné Caddy crown and the V Chevron badge below in excellent condition leads the way. We make our way back and window surround trimmings are good, and up high covering the roof is a near flawless brown vinyl top that adds some allure to the gold. The rear, with its gleaming vertical taillights within the bumper on either side frame a large trunk which could bring at least $2,600/month on the NYC apartment rental page. 18-inch Ridler wheels in chrome are wrapped in 235/60R18 blackwall radials all around.
Interior
The talk of the town on awards night is always who and what is she wearing? Well with a swing of the doors I'll tell you...numerous tactile surfaces abound on the door panels in the form of buttoned and stitching puffy beige and beige carpeting. Faux padded beige leather panels are broken up by lots of chrome trimmings and power toggles for windows and locks, and a sole crank for the vent window. Turning our attention to the big benches, split in front and solid in the rear, we see more of the same shades of beige dutchess pattern broadcloth surrounded by smooth beige leather on the bolsters, and armrest in the center with the fronts being protected by plush soft sheepskin covers. Power switches allow for full range of adjustment on the front bench. It's pure unadulterated GM design up front on the dash with a mixture of beige padded vinyl broken up on the front by chromed bezels, aluminum strips, and a heater/defroster controller complete with full cigarette station hanging below the dash. We note the addition of a new AM/FM stereo within the dash and hanging below is an aftermarket AM/FM/CD stereo. Up top is a pristine beige headliner, and bottom is nice lightly stained beige carpet. Not to be overlooked is the added backup camera atop the dash that will help you navigate all 224" of overall length when in reverse.
Drivetrain
Simply driven, (literally!), to become famous, a big 429ci V8 sits comfortably in a nicely aged unrestored engine bay. It is topped by a 4-barrel carburetor, and has a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission on the back. Keeping things rolling down the highway is a 2.91 geared economy rear axle, as if fuel mileage matters when you have this much opulence.
Undercarriage
A light coating of surface rust is seen on some frame parts and peppers the usual suspects. Overall though, it is structurally sound, floor pans are very nice, and suspension is fairly clean with a recent coating of black rust proofing. The rockers and body hangers are strong, and coil springs are seen on all 4 corners and these work in conjunction with independent front suspension and 4 link rear. Power drum brakes for all corners and a stainless steel muffler is on for the single exhaust exhale.
Drive-Ability
She fired right up and after a nice warmup it gave me a nice slow boil on the test track...meaning nice acceleration, good handling for a large vehicle, and ultra-smooth ride. Braking is top notch, and comfort and conveniences are all in working order.
Definitely an Oscar winner on the exterior, interior and drivetrain. Fit and finish remain good, and this car has led a charmed life. With its great performance, it will rise to a standing ovation and its accolades are certainly not an act! Viola.
