1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible

Description

The Cadillac DeVille was the pinnacle of Cadillac’s late-‘60s luxury ethos, combining expansive styling with advanced comfort and effortless performance. With its long, monolithic body lines, stacked headlamps, and restrained fins, the ‘68 model refined Cadillac’s transition into more modern design while retaining unmistakable presence.

First introduced for the 1968 model year, its 7.7-liter 472 cubic-inch V8 delivered smooth, abundant power, paired with a proven Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission. Inside, the DeVille emphasized a serene driving experience through plush materials, power-assisted conveniences, and a quiet, composed ride, establishing it as one of the era’s premier American luxury convertibles.

This 1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible is finished in striking “Triple White,” featuring Grecian White paint with a white power-operated soft top over white leather upholstery. Power comes from a 7.7-liter 472 cubic-inch V8 mated to a three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.

This DeVille was sold new in Los Angeles, California, and later spent time on the east coast where it was acquired by the seller and transported to Washington State in 2020.

This 1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible is now offered with factory literature, shop manuals, accessories, and a clean Washington State title in the seller’s name.
