Up for sale is the most luxurious car I've gotten to own, the 1974 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. This car has a great story, and I am hoping a great future. Originally spending its life in Nebraska, it has remained with the same family since it's purchase, I was sold the car almost 5 years ago and gotten her roadworthy and polished, being the second owner means a lot to me. I picked up the car in Geneva, NE. in the family warehouse and drove it all the way back to Colorado with doing nothing but changing the battery, the car floats on down the road.

Since my ownership, I've had it looked over and had maintenance done all by a certified mechanic, replaced the belts, fixed the trunk lock, the brakes, got the air conditioner working and even gotten the transmission replaced. The car is perfectly roadworthy and could easily handle a road trip... the car certainly has the space!!

This incredible car is a true piece of history, I would argue that this is the LAST of the great American luxury vehicle, the last of the land yacht. The Oil Crisis of 1973 stared in October... Exactly when this particular Cadillac was rolling off the assembly line in Detroit, Michigan. Those who remember the Oil Criss know, that attitudes and ideas about cars changed after this event in America with the concern being to make smaller cars, more fuel-efficient, and less heavy. Each Cadillac that came next was shorter, less interesting, and had less power, the brand was on the decline. This Cadillac is the gold standard of luxury, the height of American culture, to own a Cadillac meant that you made it. And it's hard not to see why, this car is 19.3 feet long... LONGER than any Chevy Suburban ever made with a 28 gallon fuel tank and weighing 5,100 lbs.!!

This car is equipped with a 472 cubic inch V8 engine with only 87,167 miles, AM/FM radio, a power antenna, a power trunk, 4 cigarette lighters and ashtrays, retrofitted Air Conditioning using R-134a, Cruise Control, auto dimming headlights, a dashboard map light, enormous trunk, incredible grandmas couch style "Maharaja" interior pattern, fog lights, pillarless automatic windows, vinyl top, turn signal indicators on the front fenders, the last year for round headlights, AutoCraft Platinum battery with lever shut off for storage, Colorado 1974 original plates, rear fender skirts, great hardly driven on tires, "Pharaoh Gold" GM paint, a car cover, the 1974 dealership booklet, shop manual, car manual Chilton's Service Manual and some goodies I have picked off of various Cadillacs I have found in junkyards.

The car has its quarks of course, antenna seems to bug out, top could be replaced, touchy seatbelt sensor, rust in the usual spots of this era of GM cars, thankfully I replaced and color matched the notoriously easy-to-break 70's plastic back bumper pieces, but as far as I know these will be little things that need to be addressed. The car is being sold as is with no warranty and a clean Colorado title.

I'm in no rush to sell, I love the car and all the fun it is driving! But I do have a vague idea of getting a great condition automatic 66' to 77' Ford Bronco, great Wagoneer, or automatic Toyota FJ Land Cruiser for my wife, or an International Scout so maybe we could trade. For now, she is safe inside my garage with the cover on. If you are looking out of state, I am only 25 minutes from Denver International Airport, so come on out for a drive and see the car in person! She needs to be driven, so I have no problem with test drives, it's like driving a cloud with windows!

Please let me know if you have any questions, I'm usually available!
