718-Mile One-Off 1974 Cadillac "Mozelle"

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Cadillac Mozelle is a singular creation—based on a 1974 DeVille Coupe, it was custom-built by an independent California-based designer and registered by its original owner in Michigan. With only 718 miles on the odometer and just two owners since new, this bespoke luxury coupe represents a unique chapter in Cadillac-inspired craftsmanship. Measuring nearly 21 feet in length and weighing over 8,000 pounds, the Mozelle blends dramatic proportions with intricate engineering, including dual battery systems, hydraulic hood and trunk operation, and an onboard air suspension compressor.

Finished in 11 coats of black enamel with six clear coats, the exterior presents a deep, mirror-like gloss accented by powder-coated wire wheels with die-cast Cadillac crests. Inside, silver-grey velour upholstery contrasts with a black vinyl dash, highlighted by wood veneer inlays. Though stored for the past 30 years, the car remains largely original and mechanically complete, with some service needs noted below.

Whether destined for a private collection, museum display, or parade duty, the Mozelle stands as a one-of-a-kind tribute to Cadillac’s legacy of luxury and innovation.
