1965 Cadillac Fleetwood in Alpharetta, Georgia

Vehicle Description

The Atlanta Showroom is offering this 1965 Cadillac Sedan Deville for sale. This is a great survivor. The exterior, interior, and mechanics show really good on the Cadillac. The interior is something to behold with the stitching on the seating. As it had been since DeVille became a separate series, DeVille denoted Cadillac's mainstream model, falling between the Calais which had replaced the Series 62, and the Sixty Special and Eldorado. The DeVille was redesigned for 1965 but rode on the same 129.5-inch wheelbase. Tailfins were canted slightly downward, and sharp, distinct body lines replaced the rounded look. Also new were a straight rear bumper and vertical lamp clusters. The headlight pairs switched from horizontal to vertical, thus permitting a wider grille. Curved frameless side windows appeared, and convertibles acquired tempered glass backlights. New standard features included lamps for luggage, glove and rear passenger compartments and front and rear safety belts. Power was still supplied by the 340 horsepower 429 cu in (7,030 cc) V8, which would be replaced by the 472 cu in (7,730 cc) for 1968. Perimeter frame construction allowed repositioning the engine six inches forward in the frame, thus lowering the transmission hump and increasing interior room. Pillared sedans appeared on the DeVille series for the first time, while six-window hardtop sedans were dropped. A padded vinyl roof was a $121 extra-cost option on the hardtop model. All four DeVille models had small "Tiffany-like" script nameplates on the ends of their rear fenders just above the chrome side molding. Options include: AM/FM radio, power brakes, power steering, power locks, power seats, power windows, telescopic/tilt wheel, seat belts, cloth interior, radial tires.
