1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible

Description

As part of the ninth generation of Cadillac DeVille models, the 1968 model year showcased styling changes that reflected the era’s growing appetite for power and prestige. The car featured a longer, lower body with sharp lines and a more aggressive front grille, emphasizing Cadillac’s commitment to modern design. 

Under the hood, the 1968 DeVille was powered by a 472 cu-in V8 engine, which was new that year and delivered 375 horsepower. This engine became a hallmark of Cadillac performance, offering smooth acceleration and effortless cruising. The DeVille came in several body styles, including a four-door hardtop sedan, two-door coupe, and convertible, all equipped with luxurious interiors and advanced features such as automatic climate control and power accessories. 

This 1968 DeVille Convertible is refinished in metallic blue with a white convertible top, and the 472 cu-in V8 sends power to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. The interior features two rows of bench seating upholstered in white leather and complemented by woodgrain trim, while a retro-style stereo replaces the factory unit.
