1979 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

Description

This 1979 Cadillac Coupe DeVille represents a boulevard-owning style with a torque-filled V8, a cool color combo, and the right investments - including cold-blowing A/C - to keep a solid cruising Caddy.

The Saffron Metallic paint has a unique style maturity in its respray that will make many people think you have a survivor. We think that's kinda cool because these Coupe DeVilles always seem like they carry everything with dignity - including their history. That's why the sharply styled bumpers shine bright, the body panels have a clean/straight style, and the vinyl half-roof has a distinctive but coordinated appearance. And we love the brightwork details, from the wide grille up front to the wire wheel covers to the taillights that stick out just enough as a tribute to the legendary Cadillac tailfin. It all reminds us that elegance is earned over time.

You may have noticed a slightly darker shade of the car's copper-tone used for a pinstripe, and when you open the door, you understand exactly why. The deeper color looks quite nice in the deep pile carpeting and smooth dash. The idea inside is to appear highly stock and vintage. It gets that feeling correct right down to details like the AM/FM 8-track stereo and all the lights that greet you when the door opens. But there are also subtle upgrades that you don't see but they make a big difference. For example, there have been investments in the last few years to keep the power seat operating smoothly, and there was a new air conditioning system installed. You also have power windows, power locks, a tilt steering column, cruise control, a rear defogger, and enough interior space and cargo room to invite everyone along for a road trip.

Under the hood is the monstrous 425 cubic-inch V8 motor with a four-barrel carburetor on top. While it looks as honest as the day it left the Detroit factory, we're told there have been the right investments to keep this running correctly. It includes the radiator, thermostat, brake booster, and battery. It makes for an eager torque-filled powerhouse that really showcases its might every time you get up from a stoplight. And the driving experience is properly luxurious with power steering (with new idler arm bushings,)power brakes, front discs, newer shocks, and a three-speed automatic transmission.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, service manuals, and maintenance records. We like this Cadillac because it has the right mix of well-aged charm and true luxury features. And if you decide you need to update anything more to your tastes, the value price should leave room in your budget. So if you're ready to cruise in comfort and style, call today!
