Vehicle Detail
1976 CADILLAC DEVILLE CABRIOLET GREAT CAR-ICE COLD AIR 1This is an original rust free car with 67,200 miles. I bought the car knowing the body was straight and rust free and never molested. I knew it was faded, but was the right color combination to make a great car. The firethorn metallic red with white Cabriolet padded roof and beautiful matching white interior make this De Ville really stand out from the rest. 2 The chrome is very presentable for a forty year old car and it drives like a dream. I drove this car 300 miles round trip to have it painted with no problems. 3 This car is in great shape and has no problems after being checked out. The car is loaded with options like climate controlled AC, power steering and brakes. I will tell the story as we go through the pictures. I take my pictures in all light scenarios so you can see the what the car looks like in natural light. I take a lot of pictures so please be patient the pictures are worth the wait if you want a great car. MY PICTURES ARE JUST AS THEY COME OUT OF THE CAMERA and not ran through any type of photo enhancing program like photoshop. You see the car as it really is. 4 I am a retired farmer and used to buy a lot of cars for resale. My age is really slowing me down and I just can not do as much. I have enjoyed the project and now it is time to let someone else enjoy it. This car is a true time capsule and the end of an era of big luxury. 5 I love the wire hubcaps and look great on the car but they are like 40 years old and show some age. I also have a set of the plan hubcaps that go with the car too. 6 This car rides and drives like a dream with a close to new set of Toyo tires and matching spare. 7THIS PAINT COLOR HAS ALOT OF METALLIC AND CHANGES COLORS IN DIFFERENT LIGHT SCENARIOS, THIS IS THE CORRECT FACTORY COLOR PAINT CODE. 8 THIS CAR WAS SOLD NEW IN SPOKANE,WASHINGTON 9 I was told this car was sold new at Utter Cadillac in Spokane, Washington. If you research Cadillac Historical Archives you and send off and get the broadcast sheet and a delivery date to the dealer. I got one for a 1956 Cadillac and for a hundred dollars I got a stack of information showing where it was delivered the day it was built. 10 WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD THE FACTORY CORRECT EXHAUST AND HANGERS STILL ON IT, WHICH I REPLACED. 11 IT RIDES AND DRIVES AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS. 12 GREAT COLOR COMBINATION 13 14THIS CAR IS LIKE A PRETTY WOMAN IN FRONT OF A CAMERA THAT JUST LOVES TO HAVE HER PICTURE TAKEN. 15 POWER TRUNK WORK AS IT SHOULD. 16 JUST A GREAT CAR FUN TO DRIVE AND GREAT TO LOOK AT. 17 If you want to ask a question, just give me a call. 8 AM to 8PM central 870 930 6104 I can walk around the car an talk as we look. 18 When I had the car painted I chose to not paint the door jams, because I did not want to get over spray on the carpet or that great white interior. 19 THIS CAR HAS GREAT CURB APPEAL. 20 500 cu in V8 engine 4 barrel carb system Automatic Transmission Sierra Grain White Leather Upholstery Climate Control A C System Power Steering Power Brakes Power Seats Both Sides Power locks Power Antenna Power Trunk Tilt and Telescoping Steering Wheel Cruise Control AM FM 8 Track System Twilight Sentinel Lamp Monitors Lighted Passenger Vanity Mirror factory Fender Skirts Factory Pin Stripe Vinyl Roof Factory Hub Caps 21I took the pictures in partial shade, full sun and clouds. I even took some inside the garage with the lights out and just the flash on the camera on the last few pictures. 22 Keep in mind, this is a 40 year old car that is like a time capsule that has been well cared for. 23 The leather looks great and matches the low miles on the car. The weather stripping looks good . The seatbelts are in the car and they do show some fading.Both power seats work as the should. 24 The weather stripping on the doors is tight so the car is quiet inside. 25 The center front carpet is faded and could be dyed to match the rest. 26 ALL OF THE DASH LOOKS GOOD AND IS CLOSE TO NEW AS A FORTY YEAR OLD CAR COULD BE. 27 28 29 30 If you like what you see and want to make a reasonable offer give me a call. 8 AM TO 8 PM CENTRAL TIME 870 930 6104 31 32 The cruise control work good the speedometer is correct nice and straight numbers. 33 34 The radio works when it wants to. You can work with the knob and it come back on. 35 36 37 This is a spot that is bad to rust on these cars. This one is rust free. 38 39 40VERY GOOD CHROME. 41 42 Nice Toyo spare that match other tires and jack that match the car. 43 44 POWER WINDOWS WORK AS THEY SHOULD AS DO REMOTE MIRROR AND DOOR LOCKS. 45 46 These cars are only original one time and are more valuable that way so this car has only had the one repaint. 47 48 COMPLETELY ORIGINAL UNDER THE HOOD WITH STICKERS. I WILL CLEAN AS MUCH OF THE RUBBING COMPOUND UP UNDER HERE AS POSSIBLE. I DID NOT NOTICE IT SO MUCH UNTIL I SAW THE PICTURES. 49 All of the stickers are factory original to the car. It looks too good to mess with repainting it. Originality is judged important for car shows. These cars are great when they are original. 50 51 52 52 53 GREAT CHROME AND STAINLESS 54 55 56 57 The rest of these picture were taken with the lights out in the dark with just the flash on the camera. 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 Terms of Sale The buyer will submit a NON-REFUNDABLE $1,000 deposit within 48 hours of the close of the auction to secure the vehicle.
