The first Cadillac to bear the famous de Ville moniker was a
prestige variant of the 1949 Series 62 range. However. between 1958
and 2005. the de Ville was a model in its own right; the definitive
version of which was arguably that from 1959. The ultimate
expression of the legendary Harley Earl's jet plane-inspired
design. it sported enormous. sharp tail-fins. bullet-shaped rear
light clusters. jewel-patterned radiator grill and a distinctive
roof supported by ultra slim-line pillars. Known as the Series
6300. the Coupe de Ville and its Sedan de Ville sibling were based
around tubular X-frame chassis equipped with all-round coil-sprung
suspension. power assisted steering and self-adjusting brakes.
a 390ci (6. 4-litre) OHV V8 engine allied to Hydra-Matic
transmission. the de Ville cars were surprisingly quick
(contemporary road tests recorded 0-60mph in 10. 3 seconds and top
speeds of 110mph). Although. with a quoted 325bhp and 430lbft of
torque on tap. they certainly had need of their power brakes. Over
53. 00 De Villes were sold in 1959 - some 37 percent of the
manufacturer's entire production for that year. The 1963 variant
had slightly more pronounced fenders while the tailfins were
trimmed down somewhat to provide a lower profile.

The example presented here today has been owned by the vendor
for some 10 years and has been used largely for special events. It
was imported into this country in 1990 from Oregon. USA straight
into Lewis. West Sussex. From there it was a short hop to Ardingly. br/>again in West Sussex. In March. it underwent a full health check
with a local garage to include a fresh MoT test certificate valid
until March. 2016. It starts well with the power steering light to
the touch. The electrically powered front bench seats operate fully
in all three planes and the overall interior condition is good. The
paintwork is in an unrestored state but is also in good order
throughout and all brightwork is complete and in excellent
condition. A striking and sound example of the classic finned
Cadillacs of the 1960's.

Hi,
