OFFERS WELCOME! Evolve Motors & Chicago Car Club are pleased to present this 1973 Cadillac Sedan deVille! At just shy of 20ft in length and over 5100lbs in weight, this ‘73 Sedan deVille is one big, beautiful piece of automotive history. This car is a very well-preserved example of Cadillac’s final pillar-less hardtop sedan, from a time that luxury and comfort were paramount. This car is a real dream boat, it floats down the road in a manner that can only be described as effortless. The cabin is dead silent at speed and the seats are so comfortable that a full day of highway cruising doesn’t sound even the least bit daunting. This ‘73 Sedan deVille has covered just 32,709 miles over the course of its 44 year life. Considering the time-capsule-like state of the unrestored interior and the rust-free undercarriage, it’s clear that this car has been very well taken care of throughout those 44 years. This car is in excellent mechanical order; the gentleman we purchased the car from even drove it down to us in Chicago from North Dakota! Car will be sold with all original manuals, booklets, and a handful of minor service receipts. Exterior: First off, paint. Cotillion White is a nice color on these cars, particularly against the black interior. The paint, a respray of the original color, shows very well; there are a just a handful of small chips scattered about the car, with the most significant chipping being on the forward portion of the rear skirts (see photo). There is also a scratch on the passenger front fender, which has been touched up, as well as on the passenger rear quarter, right behind the turn signal. There are close-up photos of every blemish on the car, so please take a good look through the photos. Chrome is excellent throughout, and really completes the look of this big sedan. There is no oxidation or damage on the chrome at all; it shines nice and bright with a mirror-like finish everywhere – bumpers, door handles, A-pillars, etc. Landau hardtop is in pristine condition, with absolutely no scratches, scrapes, or damage. There is one small door-ding on the car, which is on the driver’s side rear door. There is some minor bubbling beginning to form under the chrome trim at the forwardmost point of the passenger rocker trim. Rust is not through. All doors close without any fuss. Glass and light lenses are all clear and crack-free throughout. Wheels are excellent, with no damage or curb rash. Tires are new. Interior: The interior is undoubtedly the highlight of this car; it is just fantastic. A true time capsule. Black medallion cloth seats are perfect, a term we don’t use often. There is absolutely no fading or damage throughout the interior. Seats are powered, as are windows. Carpets are stain and tear free both front and rear and car will come with Cadillac branded floormats. Headliner is nice and tight. Dash is excellent. All powered systems are functional – dash lights, cruise control, heat, seat adjustments, the Zuma Retrosound radio (original radio also included in the sale), and all gauges. Air conditioning has been converted to R134a and blows cold. Odometer is functional and reads 32,709 miles, which is accurate. The car even has a new-car-like smell to it. Under the Hood / Underbody: This Sedan deVille retains its original 472cid 4BBL V8 and 3-speed TH-400 automatic transmission. The car runs and drives very, very well. It starts right up without fault, idles cool and steady, and tracks nice and straight down the road. Brakes feel very good, with no hooking in either direction. The car has no tendencies or noises of concern; it eats up speedbumps and potholes quietly and smoothly. With the windows up this car is very quiet, it does an excellent job of muffling road and engine noise. Underneath, the car is in very nice shape. We purchased the car from a long-term owner in North Dakota, a no salt state. Frame rails and rockers are nice and solid. Overall, this ‘73 Sedan deVille is a well-preserved garage-queen that is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic order. Buy with confidence, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it across the country tomorrow.
