History of the 1965-1970 Cadillac DeVille:
For 1965, Cadillac announced a new De Ville series, now with a capital “D”, that included a convertible and pillared sedan for the first time. This full slate of new DeVille models effectively replaced the former Series 62 line. Subtly but superbly detailed, the 1965 Cadillacs utilized a new perimeter-frame chassis while retaining a 129. 5-inch wheelbase. At the front, dual stacked headlamps were featured; at the rear, only a suggestion of fins remained. A more conservative frontal treatment arrived for 1966, along with variable-ratio power steering.
Forward-thrusting front fenders and sweepingly sculpted body sides enhanced the sleek appearance of 1967-68 Cadillacs, with coupes receiving a new and boldly formal notchback roofline. By 1968, a 375-hp 472-cid engine, the industry's largest, was standard. DeVille models for 1969-70 showed off stiffer, more conservative luxury-car styling. The 1970 line included Cadillac's new 500-cid V-8, the largest displacement V-8 ever. The final DeVille convertible was offered that same year.
Cadillacs of this period are increasingly popular with classic car enthusiasts.
