Floater: 1988 Cadillac Sedan Deville

Nothing really drives quite like a late 1980s Cadillac... there is an amount of float to the handling that defies the laws of physics... it is like somehow the shock tuners at Cadillac invented an inverse damper, a forward feedback loop that adds harmonics to the driving experience. Take your dramamine. Find this 1988 Cadillac Sedan Deville offered for $1600 in Ft Myers, FL via craigslist. Tip from Dascpcu.

Will Trade for NEW Golf Cart: 1996 Cadillac DeVille Concours Edition

Redundancy is a funny thing in the car industry. As a carmaker you may have one product doing well, so you decide hey, why don't we make all of them look and feel like this one? The D-Body Fleetwood was Cadillac's last big RWD traditional body-on-frame sedan, made from the bones of the aerotastic 1991 Chevy Caprice. That smooth low drag shape translated so well to Big Caddy language, the product planners couldn't resist spreading that feeling around and so the front-drive Deville was next to get the smooth treatment.  Find this 1996 Cadillac DeVille Concours Edition for sale in Tucson, AZ for $9,000 via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Cruiser Status: 1997 Cadillac DeVille

There was a time when Cadillac built these awesome cruisers that would float over rough pavement like professionally trained ballerina and leave miles of road behind you like you'd been sleeping in a luxury cabin on the Orient Express. Unfortunately, the guys at Cadillac spent too many years hanging out at the water cooler with the nuts at Pontiac and today's Cadillacs are tuned at the Nürburgring for enhanced kidney damage.

One Owner: 1986 Cadillac DeVille Sedan

In 1985, Cadillac switched the DeVille from the classic rear-drive C-platform to the new front-drive C-platform.  This change was probably not noticed by many new Cadillac buyers in 1986 as the octogenarian buyer was too busy watching their retirement earnings soar or fighting the inevitable & icy embrace of death.  Find this 1986 Cadillac Deville Sedan offered for $2,000 in Albuquerque, NM via Craigslist.

5k: Poncho Power: 1970 Cadillac Sedan De Ville

As a previous owner of Cadillac 3rd generation De Ville (a '67 Coupe to be precise) one small frustration of ownership was the lack of aftermarket parts support for Cadillac 429 (and later 427) cubic inch V8.  You can certainly find stock rebuild parts, but forget building your big block Cadillac into some kind of street terror without spending serious cash on things like custom ground camshafts.  The easiest way to go fast is to do what this next seller did and add a V8 that has a huge aftermarket support and start roasting tires like chestnuts at Christmas time.  Find this 1970 Cadillac Sedan de Ville offered for $8,000 in Orange County, CA via craigslist.

20k: Propanechero: 1959 Cadillac DeVille El Camino

Imagine you were a young man in 1959 who wanted the class and style of gigantic '59 Caddy tail fins but needed to haul around junk for your gardening business.  Regrettably, the short sighted product planners in GM's Cadillac division offered nothing for the consumer that added the giant fins to a pickup body, so naturally this next thing was created by a craftsman in his garage.  Find this 1959 Cadillac DeVille El Camino here on eBay currently bidding for $25,700 with 3 days to go, located in Sacramento, CA.  Tip from ESK.

5k: Ten Dollars Per Cube: 1975 Cadillac Camino DeVille

The plan sounded so good in your head and looked even better on paper.  Step 1 --You get a classic American luxury barge sedan. Step 2 --Hack up the rear end and turn it into a customized pickup.  Step 4--  Profit.  Today's prophetic custom comes in the shape of a DeVilleCamino, instead of the typical (and easier because it is front wheel drive) Eldoradomino.  Find this 1975 Cadillac DeVille El Camino offered for $5,000 buy-it-now on ebay with 5 days to go, located in Cincinnati, OH.

The 4th generation Cadillac Coupe DeVille was designed by GM's legendary designer of the '38 Caddy Sixty Special, C2 Corvette Stingray, and '55-'57 Chevy - Bill Mitchell.  When new the DeVille was a huge hit amongst rich old dudes, attention seekers and gangsters - even the young coke obsessed Henry Hill (played by Ray Liotta) in Goodfellas drives this exact a similar but later car in a putrid shade of pumpkin.  Find this 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille for sale in Burbank Hills, CA for $7,700. Tip from Jack B.

If You Have To Ask The Price: Elvis's 1972 Cadillac DeVille Wagon;

We really don't like promoting the shameless incredibly successful auction houses that have driven the prices of many cool vintage  automobiles beyond the reach of the ordinary guys who drive and enjoy them, to the point where only the rich douches who don't care if they're overpaying to acquire them only to tuck them away  in their air conditioned garages where they sit, like gasoline powered bonds waiting to mature.  But, we're making an exception in this case because it is Elvis's 1972 Cadillac Wagon, which makes it the defacto King of Wagons!

While its exact history and title claims are a little muddled, this '72 Caddy Wagon will be available at Mecum Auctions Santa Monica event on July 26, 27th.
