"1966 Cadillac DeVille Convertible
""Over the years it has been a recognized fact that few family possessions provide as much satisfaction and pleasure as a Cadillac, and few represent so sound an investment. Never was this more apparent than it is in the superb new 1966 Cadillac. With its refined new styling, it is by far the most handsome Cadillac ever built. Yet with all its refinement, grace, distinction and dignity, the 1966 Cadillac has a completely new air of excitement."" From the 1966 sale brochure.�
For consignment, a 1966 Cadillac DeVille convertible with a title verified 119,942 actual miles. You may remember a '66 DeVille sedan in the film ""Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"" and the same car, owned by actor Michael Madsen, was used in Reservoir Dogs. The model was also commonly seen in television during the mid-70's and 80's including Hill Street Blues, Emergency!, and Mannix.�
Exterior
Sure, the proportions of the Detroit steel are striking, but made more so by the Flamenco Red Metallic covering the long panels and vast horizontal surfaces. The stacked headlights protrude in pontoon styling up front, flanking a substantial grille the contours to the undulating edge of the hood. The profile is repeated out back where the classic vertical tail lights, engulfed in chrome, flank polished trim that follows the lines of the straight decklid. The sharp angles in the profile are augmented by a body length trim piece, fender skirts, and a bolt ornamental gill trim piece on the front fender, which shows some patina. Wheel covers dress up the 15-inch wheels enhanced further by wide white wall 235/75R15 tires with an early 2022 date code. Imperfections include some discoloration of the white canvas top, scratches on the paint and some are touched up, evident filler in places, and bubbling in various spots.�
Interior
Red, white, and black is the theme here beginning on the large doors which alternate all three colors, concluding with a black carpeted kick panel, and both doors are intact with a touch of patina. The seats continue the pattern with a red stripe intersecting black vinyl uppers, surrounded by a red stripe found on the split bench and also the rear bench. White vinyl tends to show dirt and that is consistent here in spots, but overall, the interior exudes coolness. The black plastic steering wheel has definitely seen better days while the instrument cluster, a combination of round gauges and horizontal units, is in good condition under a black dash pad. Two radios here, the standard AM/FM unit on the aluminum trimmed dash panel, and an AM/FM/CD player on a custom center box where a temp gauge has also been added. Speakers live in the foot wells over black carpet, while the large trunk houses a subwoofer over a black carpet piece that shows some use.�
Drivetrain
Under the mile long hood is a 429ci V8 rated at 340 horsepower and fueled by a 4-barrel carburetor. It is backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic connected to 2.94 gears in back. Power assisted brakes are on board and configured as drums all the way around.�
Undercarriage
No complaints down here, just a clean driver quality undercarriage with minimal surface rust, residual oil on the pans, and grease free knuckles. There's some dampness on the rear differential and some flaky corrosion on the inner rockers which does not seem to be advancing. Dual exhaust runs through Magnaflow mufflers, then dumps almost immediately under the car for a stealthy finish. Suspension consists of coil springs up front and a 4-link with coil springs out back. Power steering is, thankfully, present.
Drive-Ability
We don't need a license from the Fish and Boat commission, but a Class A license might be in order for this big rig sized car. No, a simple driver's license will do as we roll this 18-foot land yacht onto the tarmac, where the engine performs well, propelling this Caddy in fine fashion and providing a floaty ride perfect for Main Street and Ocean Boulevard cruising. There are a number of items not working, including the clock, the heater blower, both radios, the reverse lights, and the turn signals. In addition, the A/C compressor has been removed so open air breezes will be your relief. Every other functional item on the car works 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.�
Are you looking for a statement car? This one screams coolness and has a presence like few other cars in the world. 50 years from now, that coolness will not be diminished. This is one of the ultimate classic cars to have, so measure your garage and then give us a call. We expect this one to set sail fairly soon.�
