1974 Cadillac Sedan DeVille

This Sedan DeVille is a long time resident here in the Traverse City area, living in just two counties its entire life. We have the original sales order when purchased new from Chet Swanson here in Traverse City in 1974 along with the original checks and receipts used to pay for it. It also has the original owners manuals and some receipts for parts. I believe the paint to be largely original along with the interior. All lights and gauges work as they should, it starts, runs and goes down the road very nicely. The DeVille is a model name used by Cadillac over eight generations, originally to designate a trim level. The fourth generation of the DeVille was built from 1971 through 1976 and would set a record for Interior size up to that. Also, a piece of trivia….In 1974, Cadillac introduced an optional “Air Cushion Restraint System”….Otherwise known as an airbag. However, the option was expensive and therefore unpopular with customers and was discontinued after the 1976 model year and would not be offered again until 1990 when they started to become more standard. This Cadillac has some minor surface rust bubbles and blemishes in the paint as pictured as well as surface rust on the underside of the car, pretty typical stuff for survivor cars of this era. We welcome any questions or third party inspections here in our Traverse City Gallery.
