Brand and model history:

By the 1960s, Cadillac had firmly established itself as a top brand in the US luxury class.

The name Coupe DeVille refers to a body style that was widespread in the automotive sector in the first half of the 20th century, particularly in the luxury segment. An open compartment for the chauffeur and a separate passenger compartment with a fixed metal roof, which already existed in the 19th century as superstructures for horse-drawn carriages, were typical of a Coupé de Ville.

The Cadillac models designated as Coupé de Ville from 1949 onwards took up the name of this special body shape, but were not Coupés de Ville in the technical sense, as the driver and passenger compartments formed a single unit and were completely covered.

The 1960s at Cadillac were characterized by a long, continuous line that ran through the silhouette from front to rear. They wanted to show greatness.

History s Condition:

This 1968 Coupe deVille is in stunningly authentic, original and beautiful condition.

The current seller purchased it in 2013 from the first owner Norma, an 82 year old lady, in Nebraska, which makes the low mileage of 43,000 miles provable.

The Coupe DeVille designation refers to a body style that was widely used in the automotive industry in the first half of the 20th century.

After its arrival in Germany, all the rubber and bearings in the chassis as well as the steering and brakes were renewed. The most important thing was to preserve the originality of the vehicle and not simply replace things.

In addition to a new exhaust, thousands of euros were invested to make this beautiful survivor technically fit and road-legal on German roads.

The first paintwork, yes it is the first, is very glossy, but also with a beautiful patina.

This Coupe deVille has been maintained to a high standard and is a reliable Cadillac.

The engine starts immediately, runs powerfully and the transmission shifts precisely and smoothly.

All electrical wiring, switches, lights, etc. show no problems.

If you look at the original interior, you can see that this stunning coupé has been very well cared for.

The car is registered in Germany with the H license plate as a classic car and the TÜV is freshly done before delivery.

Don't miss the video with the story of how the Cadillac was found and brought to Germany.

Brand classification and prices

Nowadays, classic cars in such authentic and original condition with the complete history from day one are really hard to find.
