Untitled Document 1973 Cadillac Coupe DeVille A/C Completely ReplacedRuns and Drives GREAT!Everything works- Speedometer, Radio, Great heater, A/C, Power windows, Power seats, all lights.Tires are good- 50% I have owned this car for 5 years. The person I bought it from told me that he was the 2nd owner of the car. The original owner was from Colorado. I do notice a dealer name on the trunk saying CO. When I bought the car, I took it to my garage guy that I have been doing business with for about 20 years and told him to fix everything that was wrong with the car. And he did. He rebuilt the whole font end, fixed all the little stuff and tuned it up. So now the car runs and drives perfect. I don't drive it very much, I went on a trip from Georgia to Tennessee last year for the weekend. It was FUN and the car ran perfectly. To this day the car still runs GREAT. I go out driving about once a week. I would not be afraid to drive this car ANYWHERE. I hate to sell it, but I want to buy a 1956 Caddy Coupe. I can't afford both. For 1973 America’s favorite luxury car once again dominated the market segment. The Coupe deVille and its poised dignity which was the hallmark of every Cadillac, was personal luxury with a youthful attitude. It was powered by Cadillac’s 7.7 litre 472 CID V8 engine. The Cadillac beauty treatment made the 1973 Coupe deVille more glamorous and elegant. The Cadillac DeVille series was always parked in more driveways than any other luxury brand. The “Standard of the World” was the luxury leader. A new energy absorbing 5 mph impact bumper was attached to the new grille and would yield out of harm’s way, Wider-set bumper guards and a more upright hood gave the 1973 Coupe deVille an aggressively elegant stature. The refreshed rear styling was equally as contemporary with a new impact bumper and tail lamps. It was every inch a Cadillac. The optional vinyl roof used a single center French seam design. This was the last year for the curvaceous “duck-tail” rear fender design. Model style code #6D D47/J Coupe deVille had a base price of $6,268. 112,849 Were made 564 of which were Indy 500 Pace Cars.
