DESCRIPTION
1966 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
For consignment, a 1966 Cadillac Coupe DeVille showing 68,117 miles, but the true miles are unknown. She\'s 79 inches wide and 224 inches long, that\'s more than 18 feet long so check your garage because you already know you want this car based on style alone. Let\'s get into the details.
Exterior
As if the sheer size wasn\'t enough, this virtual land yacht is bathed in two stage Strathmore White paint and like a rolling white board, this car\'s long panels light up the room and road. In back, vertical tail light nacelles in chrome, pointed at both ends and taking in a two part lens that mirrors itself, while stacked headlights serve as bookends for the eggcrate grille in front. The grille would be split horizontally for 1966, and home to crosshair adorned turn signals. The impossibly long rear quarters have pointed crowns that surround the football field sized rear deck and a side trim spear runs the entire length of the car\'s profile. 15-inch wire wheel covers are augmented by 75 series white wall tires with a mid 2023 date code and aerodynamics are wishfully improved by the fender skirts in back. Imperfections are limited to some light pitting on the bumpers along with some de-plating and several areas of paint run.
Interior
Red is the contrasting color on the inside and begins on the long door panels combining gobs of polished trim with leather, vinyl, plastic and brushed aluminum faceplates and both present in fantastic condition. Red leather covers the wide bucket seats in front, each sharing an armrest, and along with the rear bench, they are all in great shape with the exception of some tears in the driver\'s side aprons. A three spoke steering wheel with a red rim fronts the horizontal speedometer and symmetrical layout of gauges, clock, and levers. Back to the metal mid panel all the way across the dash, taking in the AM/FM radio along the way. Low pile red carpet is below and a red headliner above, completing the consistently clean presentation of the interior. The trunk has a carpeted mat and some surface rust underneath on the steel floor.
Drivetrain
Driver quality conditions prevail under the enormous hood where we find a 429ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and 340 horsepower. It\'s mated to a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission routing power to 3.21 gears in the rear axle. Power brakes and power steering are on board.
Undercarriage
We find driver quality conditions here as well with a good amount of flaking rust and some unsealed floorboard replacement, along with some residual oil about. Dual exhaust runs through FlowMaster mufflers and exits via downturned polished tips out back. Power drum brakes are on all four wheels and coil springs are front and back with a 4 link helping out in back.
Drive-Ability
Land Ho! We set sail in this long white wonder and find adequate power and smooth running provided by the big V8, a soft ride on the 75 series tires, and solid braking as we point the hood ornament in the direction we want the rest of the car to follow. We note the driver\'s side rear window only goes up from the rear switch, the radio turns on but does not receive reception, and the clock is not working. Beyond these things, all functions operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
More than 50,000 Coupe DeVille hardtops were produced in 1966 with a base price of $5,339. If you owned one, you had arrived as they were considered the premiere American automobile for the masses. Sixty years later, this one still delivers the message of grand ascension!
