1970 Cadillac Deville

Up for sale in our Tampa showroom is this gorgeous 1970 Cadillac De Ville. The De Ville for sale was originally a trim level and later a model of General Motors' Cadillac marque. The first car to bear the name was the 1949 Coupe de Ville, a prestige trim level of the Series 62 luxury coupe. The last model to be formally known as a De Ville was the 2005 Cadillac DeVille, a full-size sedan, the largest car in the Cadillac model range at the time. The next year, the DeVille was officially renamed DTS (an abbreviation standing for DeVille Touring Sedan, itself a trim level on earlier models). In 1970 a facelift included a grille with 13 vertical blades set against a delicately cross-hatched rectangular opening. The bright metal headlamp surrounds were bordered with body color to give it a more refined look. Narrow vertical "vee" tail lights were seen again, but no longer had smaller V-shaped bottom lenses pointing downward below the bumper. Wheel discs and winged crest fender tip emblems were new. From the use of long rectangular back up light lenses set into the lower bumper as opposed to the smaller square lens used on the Calais. A new feature was a body color border around the edge of the vinyl top covering, when this option was ordered. 1970 was the last model year for pillared sedans until hardtops were permanently dropped in 1977. It was also the last year the De Ville for sale ever offered the convertible body style. A total of 181,719 De Villes for sale were sold, accounting for 76% of all Cadillacs. Never again would Cadillac sales be dominated to such a degree by a single model. Options on this 1970 Cadillac De Ville include; Seat belts, A/C-Heat. Power top, white wall tires, leather seats, power windows, power locks, power steering, power brakes and the ability to ride on a cloud called Cadillac. For more information please call 813-645-6200.
