IF YOU ARE AN AFICIONADO OF THESE MAGNIFICENT MACHINES, HEN YOU KNOW THAT 1975 AND ITS LOOK-A-LIKE 1976 MODEL WOULD BE THE LAST OF CADILLAC'S BIG CARS.

SPECIFIC INFORMATION

THE QUALITY ON THIS ORIGINAL SEDAN DEVILLE IS ASTOUNDING AND BECOMES MORE SO THE CLOSER YOU LOOK. THE BEAUTIFUL BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR (WHICH WAS NOT TOO COMMON IN 1975 ON CLOSED CARS) LOOKS AS NEW AND STILL SMELLS NEW.

THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS UNDETAILED, NPAINTED AND BEAUTIFULLY ORIGINAL. LOVERS OF ORIGINAL CARS OF ANY STRIPE BELIEVE IT IS A HIGH CRIME TO DETAIL ENGINES ON SUCH CARS. THIS IS TRUE FOR TWO REASONS.

• RARITY - SEEING ONE COMPLETE ORIGINAL AMONG A SEA OF COSMETICALLY WARMED OVER EXAMPLES IS RARE INDEED.
• HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - FOR THOSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE REALLY LIKE WHEN THEY WERE NEW THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO KNOW THAN BY EXAMINING A COMPLETELY ORIGINAL UN-COSMETICALLY ALTERED EXAMPLE SUCH VEHICLES SERVE AS AN INVALUABLE TEMPLATE FOR THOSE DOING EXTENSIVE AND EXPENSIVE RESTORATIONS.

OF COURSE WHATYOU LIKE TO LIKE TO FIND ON AN AUTHENTIC LOW MILEAGE ORIGINAL CAR IS THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, LL EXCELLENT AND WORKING AS IT SHOULD.

THIS IS THE CASE ON THIS FANTASTIC ORIGINAL, NCLUDING THE RADIO, HE 8 TRACK TAPE PLAYER, HE POWER ANTENNA, WAY POWER SEAT AND POWER TRUNK RELEASE WITH ELECTRIC CLOSING FEATURE. IN ADDITION:

• ALL INTERIOR LIGHTING WORKS
• A BEAUTIFUL SET OF 4 CADILLAC FLOOR MATS WITH WHITE CRESTS GOES WITH CAR
• AIR CONDITIONING IS STILL COLD
• THE FACTORY APPLIED SILVER PAINT STILL RETAINS ITS HIGH LUSTER
• THE ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE IS STILL IN THE TRUNK AND CARRIES THE CORRECT 1975 DATE CODE

ONE OF THE ORIGINAL B.F. GOODRICH TIRES RECENTLY BLEW OUT FROM DRY ROTTING. THIS INCIDENT PROMPTED A NEW SET OF MATCHING COKER STEEL RADIAL TIRES WITH THE FACTORY CORRECT 1 1/2" WIDTH WHITE SIDEWALL BEING APPLIED TO THE CAR TWO MONTHS AGO.

THEY REALLY DO GIVE THIS AUTOMOBILE AN EXTRA SILKY RIDE AND PROVIDE A SECURE DRIVING EXPERIENCE.

RIGHT NOW THE PREDOMINANT HOT COLOR OF CHOICE FOR BOTH RESTORERS AND MANUFACTURERS IS SILVER. THIS PHENOMENON BAFFLES YOURS TRULY. GEORGIAN SILVER WAS A SELDOM SEEN COLOR ONCADILLAC'SIN 1975. THE ORIGINAL SILVER PAINT PRESENTED HERE IN AMAZING HIGH QUALITY LUSTER, OMPLIMENTED BY IT'S BLACK TRIM SHOWS AS AN EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE AND TASTEFUL COLOR COMBINATION - UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE AT ITS BEST.
