The Cadillac brand has long been associated with luxury and quality. This 1971 Sedan deVille is a perfect example of the breed, and this is one of the cleanest examples of a classic car I've ever seen! The paint is bright and shiny, the chassis has been undercoated to be virtually rust-free, the interior is original and very clean for the age, and the exhaust, suspension, brakes and engine are clean and ready to go! Cool Fact: In November 1971, a showroom-stock 1971 Coupe de Ville ( the two-door version of this car) placed third in the annual coast-to-coast Cannonball Run, posting the highest average speed of the event, 84.6 mph (excluding stops). We can certainly see why - with their legendarily smooth, compliant suspension and powerful V8 engine, these Cadillacs devour the open road like no other car! Just fill up the tank, settle into the comfortable seat, turn the key, lock in the cruise control and watch the miles disappear into the rearview mirror. Want some spec?
