1998 Cadillac DeVille

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

Redesigned for 1997 and refined into 1998, the DeVille adopted Cadillac's "Art and Science" late-1990s design aesthetic, though still rooted in soft, rounded lines rather than the sharper design language that would come later. It rode on the front-wheel-drive K-body platform shared with other GM full-size sedans, offering a spacious cabin and a smooth, isolated ride that catered to traditional luxury buyers.

Under the hood, the 1998 DeVille used Cadillac's Northstar V8 engine, available in standard and higher-output configurations depending on trim, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission.

Standard features emphasized comfort and convenience, including power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, and available features like StabiliTrak stability control. The 1998 DeVille reflected Cadillac's effort to modernize technologically while still appealing to its loyal, comfort-oriented clientele.

This 1998 DeVille is finished in Moonstone Metallic with contrasting Shale vinyl top, accent stripes, and vinyl top.

This 1998 Cadillac Deville is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Hagerty Marketplace representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
