1968 Cadillac DeVille

Sold for $110,000 at 2022 Mecum : Monterey.
1968 heralded fresh power thanks to the new 472 CI V-8 engine, quickly becoming the basis for Cadillac standard power for the next nine model seasons, eventually hitting 500 cubic inches. The four-barrel engine was paired with an automatic transmission which proved more than capable of effortlessly carrying the 4,600-pound model in fine fashion. The Fisher-stamped steel body rested on a 224-inch platform chassis, and new styling cues included a restated grille treatment and raised-center decklid.

1968 was Cadillac's seventh consecutive year of record sales, building almost a quarter-million cars. Of those, 18,025 were Deville convertibles.

This particular green-colored Deville has a power-operated white convertible top, white boot cover, and white leather interior. It is well appointed with an AM/FM radio, power windows and locks, automatic climate control, an adjustable driver's mirror, chrome pedal trim, an in-dash clock, and the first-ever application of full-size door panel treatment for this marque.

There are 46,365 miles on the odometer.
