What’s special about this listing
Step back into an era of unparalleled American automotive style. The 1965 Cadillac DeVille Convertible isn't just a car; it's a rolling statement, a design icon that defined an age. For those who understand the significance of a classic, this introduction signals the arrival of a vehicle with inherent prestige and a story waiting to be rediscovered.
The mid-1960s represented a specific aesthetic in Cadillac's evolution, distinct from earlier tailfin designs and later downsized models. Owning a '65 Deville connects the owner to this specific aesthetic moment. That bodywork was designed and carried out by coach builder Fisher who had been doing professional bodywork since the beginning of the 20th century. While this specific car may show its age in very minute details the overall lasting integrity of the vehicle is a testament to the build quality of Cadillacs of this time.
Having a convenient and luxurious car was the idea behind the creation of the Deville. On this vehicle every passenger has their own ashtray and plush leather seat. The convertible top is automatic and can be deployed or retracted at the flick of a switch near the steering wheel. Cadillac understood that for a car this size, being able to handle it with ease was critical so for that reason the steering is heavily assisted by hydraulics ensuring that you wont ever have to fight the wheel when turning.
Continuing the theme of large luxury, prospective buyers will notice the massive trunk space provided with the car as well as an original spare tire. While the original spare is from the 60s, buyers will see that we added all new tires to the vehicle. Since getting freshly detailed this gorgeous period correct icon is ready to find its new home.
