STORY

The DeVille (originally Coupe de Ville) was one of Cadillac's longest-running nameplates, a full-size luxury car that anchored the lineup from the 1950s into the 2000s. The 1965-1970 cars were classic big-block, rear-wheel-drive Cadillacs. The mid-1960s Coupe de Ville stood for American luxury, with sharp styling and smooth V8 power. The name was retired after 2005 and replaced by the DTS.
