2012-02-05_08-23-49_750.jpgAnother non-Olds in the stable. 1974 " Mandarin orange" Cadillac Coupe DeVille w/orange plaid interior and 48,000 miles.....I'm stuck in the 70's, baby !

 

That's a clean one, and that interior's a real trip. Guy down the street has a blue one just like that, and maybe have to stop and talk with him one day.

 

One of those "over the top" decades fashion was so garish that it almost seems cool today. That caddy is a great specimen, love the interior.

 

i dig it man...i used to have a pair of elephant bells in that interior pattern...disco baby...disco....puff, puff...pass

 

Back in the 70's my dentist who lived 3 houses down had one of there but in Avacado Green. They are beautiful landyachts of yesterday. Enjoy

 

I had a 71 Coupe Deville, it was in beautiful condition and still gave the ride of a new car. I've been itchin' for another boat sometime. They're still out there at reasonable prices. A nice anti PC ride.

 

Wow - that looks like quite a survivor - nice find!
Can't believe they put the plaid in a Caddy though - first time I have seen it. Usually that was seen in the smaller cars that were marketed towards young buyers. Looks like Caddy WAS aiming for the younger crowd then also...
Should definetly keep that one in original condition!
Didn't you get a Caprice a few months ago?

 

Man you'll have to speak with a scotch brogue when you drive that Cad.

I had a baby blue 75 that I bought in 1976. It was a great long distance cruiser. All day long at 100+

Yes, " Lady"....I added the 74 Metallic Green Caprice convertible just recently. The more garish the color, the better for me !

 

I thought so! Yes, green, yellow, and orange now. Looks like you need a blue one next! Those land yachts are great for the highway.
You must have one heck of a garage for these. Or are you renting an airplane hangar?

 

Sold the blue one ( '75 Buick LeSabre) at Fall Hershey. Got a lead on a replacement ???? A " Horizon Blue" Delta 88 convertible would be nice.

 

Nice...
Love that fall color you get there, too - almost makes the car invisible!

 

It's gaudy but it's gorgeous. Can't tell you the last time I saw a pimpmobile like that.

Back in 02, a low-mile 76 CDV showed up as part of an estate. Saw it sitting by the side of the road looking a little shabby, but I stopped to look and realised the interior was perfect and the paint would clean up nicely. It was a honey beige with no vinyl top and matching leather gut. The only trouble was it had been parked for close to ten years and would not run, hence the $1200 asking price.

I came close enough to buying that I got a shop manual for it, but I had just bought the green Starfire and was still sorting it out. I figured I didn't need another one that was going to need carb, gas tank and lines, brakes and lord only knows what else.

One of my many regrets.

 

500 c.i.

'nuff said.


I had a DD baby blue 75 CDV as well. Engine now resides in my dad's 47 Cadillac, with a few tricks.

 

Beautiful Cadillac!! American ingenuity at its finest. The last decade that real cars were built in.

 

Nice ride! It looks like it's in beautiful original condition....getting harder and harder to find these full sized beauties so well preserved....enjoy it!

 

Wow! I love it!

 

When I was a kid my Dad was a Caddy Man. Every 2-3 years he got a new one. My favorite was the 76' Fleetwood Brougham triple black with leather. I learned to drive in that thing. He bought his last one in 79' and hated it. Never owned since then.

Very nice ride! Man is it big.

 

Nice car, I love the big ones too. I've had a 67 & 74 Impala, and a 70 Bel Air. Wouldn't mind having any one of those again.

 

Awsome but where do you find the platform shoes with goldfish reqiured to drive it
