In the world of vintage luxury, size is king. This 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille proves it in every way, from the extra long body to the huge displacement engine. But take a closer look, and you'll see a luxury car that has been pampered all its life. Firethorn Metallic is one of those colors that look great on an angular 70s design. More than just a bold factory-correct presentation, a Caddy like this is really starting to come into its own. People are beginning to really love the sharp edge design that is accented everywhere by chrome. The best examples of this is the front bumper that boldly comes to a central point, the factory wire wheel covers, and the upright rear reflectors that gave these Cadillacs a hint of the iconic tailfin. But this one even gets the little details right with a white pinstripe, whitewall tires, and a white half-vinyl roof that are all part of a terrifically coordinated package. The white and red presentation is even continued inside. Cadillac is synonymous with luxury, and the interior is where you always get the best reminders of this. It's a time capsule of a DeVille that comes loaded with the kind of options that you would even want on a brand new car. It includes power windows, power seat, power locks, cruise control, and tilt/telescoping steering wheel. All of these controls have a cool classic look and feel, but best of all, these features still function perfectly. In fact, even the air conditioning is still keeping you cool inside. The stereo is an updated AM/FM/cassette unit, but it's knob-style presentation doesn't look out of place in this classic. But the best indicator that this is a cherished original Caddy are the white leather seats. They have a bit of wear from use over the years, but nothing lasts over 40 years in this kind of condition without someone keeping a constant eye on preservation. A Cadillac is a cool cruiser, and there's a lot going on beneath the metal. The big 500 cubic-inch V8 looks great in the engine bay. It has the perfect mix where serviced items like the hoses and belts meet many factory-original decals. You'll also like having a '76 because it was the last year for this big-displacement V8. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, it has the torque to confidently pull away from the stoplights. Plus, the cruising attitude is heightened by a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with discs up front. There may never again be another cruiser that seats six people comfortably in such a luxuriously cool way. It's your rare opportunity to grab a well-presented legend for such an affordable price.
