Spotted this 1965 DeVille outside a local CVS. Nice long 2 door convertible, as god intended Caddy to be configured.
There were about 19k Caddy DeVilles Convertibles produced in 1965. These were all powered by a 429 cid, V8, overhead cam, iron block engine. The bore and stroke were 4.13 x 4.00 with a compression ratio of 10.5:1 and topped with the a Carter 4 bbl (Model 3903S) it produced about 340 hp. That’s not much considering the weight of the car was over 4500 lbs.
I love two vertical headlight look on most cars.
Still sporting fins. The back of this car is just as impressive as the front and that’s not always the case.
Love a two door DeVille
This one is a daily driver and could use some freshening but it is a fine automobile.
Thanks for reading.

My grandfather had the coupe version in black. I recall him bragging to my father that he could get 14MPG on the highway if he drove it right. This was the first car I had every seen with a Wonderbar radio and loved setting up front and playing with the search feature.
