To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Fort Lauderdale event, 29 - 30 March 2019.

A production pillarless coupe with the DeVille name soon followed and by the late 1950s, the line had become a staple of the Cadillac range. The third-generation DeVille debuted for the 1965 model year with a Bill Mitchell-penned design that retained the tailfins that had become a model signature. Available in four- and two-door configurations, the DeVille was again at its most dramatic as a convertible. The silver over red leather DeVille convertible offered here has been owned by the same family since being delivered new to the Cadillac dealership in the Bronx on 6 August 1965. The DeVille was documented in a feature published in The New York Times. Amazingly, the car was enjoyed both in the U.S. and on several trips to Europe. Sympathetically restored in 2008 and with further updates in 2012 and an extensive servicing in 2018 by Cadillac Parts and Restoration, formerly Fen Enterprises, in New York, the DeVille retains much of its original character. The car retains its Cadillac Owner Protection Plan book and is accompanied by its Cadillac build sheet as well as service documents. This Antique Automobile Club of America trophy winning DeVille has been shown at numerous Concours d'Elegance events on the East Coast and is ready for its next family to enjoy.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/fl19.
