Of the 1971-76 Cadillac's I consider 1972 to be the best year because it still had the smaller bumpers, it wasn't fully smogged out with emission control devices and it also had the best looking grille and headlights, of the old school Cadillac's I like the 1969-70 models the best.

Grew up in those cars. Be going 110 mph all the way to our house in Florida from Southern Indiana during the summer. :) Smoother than glass on Pennyrile Pkwy. You'd never feel a pothole, either. But those leather seats were cold in the Winter AND when you'd get in from the beach, your legs stuck to the leather too. OUCH! lol And being small enough we could sleep 2 or 3 kids wide in the back seat or I could get in the back window. Plenty of space in the floor to sleep too. Lots of trips in those babies. And I can remember a aluminum covered pan of fried chicken tucked under the front passenger seat where my mom sat for snacks on the road. Fond memories. :D

Same here Mark Hicks but I grew up in the 80s and in Town Cars my Mother's parents would trade for a new Town Car every 2 years. Same thing so quiet rode so soft and you couldn't feel the potholes in the roads. They didn't have a while lotta hp but with those 302 V8s they moved out pretty decent for their size and always a full carload of us. I really liked those Town Cars they were the best riding cars I've ever rode in. They don't make cars to ride like that though these days everything is sport tuned it seems. Those were great days.

Took my driving test parallel parking, whole nine yards in that car it was awesome. It rode like a dream down the highway practically drove itself and power like you would not believe. It was the last of the big beautiful Caddys as far as I’m concerned. Dad had 74 and 76 Cadillacs to follow but they didn’t compare to that 72 coupe Deville.

I have owned quite a few Cadillacs over the years and I have to say the '72's were my favorites. I had a Coupe de Ville and a Fleetwood Brougham. The lighter-weight of the Coupe made it feel very nimble and it was fast. The Fleetwood was VERY roomy inside, especially for the rear seat passengers. The extra weight and automatic level-control made the ride a superb motoring experience. They were not quiet by today's standards and that is all those horses under the hood!

Speaking of the lay person that's not necessarily specifically knowledgeable about the car but generally knowledgeable about this model I can probably tell you that if the system has had to be open for any reason it is probably been converted to R134a. A lot of the vintage car systems they have developed quality retrofit kits for seamless conversion you might have to change a few O-rings here and there on older cars such as this worst case scenario maybe a new compressor or evaporator but other than that maintaining the factory look while having modern refrigerant. As for the fuel capabilities. My dad had a 72 when I was a kid and at the time he was Notorious for running premium in it because he didn't like the way it ran on regular. But it was perfectly able to handle unleaded fuel because by 71 they were required to run on unleaded or low lead fuel. And this is a 72 where they started doing the power measurements in SAE net power to the wheels instead of gross horsepower at the flywheel but truthfully and I've driven both year models you can't really tell much difference. Now by the time you get to 74 and 75 which are actually bloated out somewhat more in size compared to 71 and 72 it starts to make the 472 somewhat underpowered, although a friend with a 74 with 472 said that they couldn't tell much difference. But if you've driven a 71 or 72 and then drive a 74, yes there's a big difference.

Beautiful presentation, as usual, Bill! Not only are these videos great walk throughs for prospective buyers, but a good history lesson (or refresher in my case). I love the brocade material on the seats. Very "executive" looking, crisp and as you would say, "proper". I remember that there were various interior choice materials when you could build a car so unique no one else had the exact same one. I'd definitely choose this discreet-looking design that is made with quality materials, if not the leather option instead of those overly ornate designs. Yes, the legroom looks remarkably limited for a car of that size, although those seats were built like a baraclounger. Of course if you wanted more room, you would go up a size to the Fleetwood. My Grandfather has a Fleetwood, and the rear seat room was large enough for my sister to play on the floors, as she fondly remembers. Back then, you didn't have to strap them kids in to a wimpy "baby seat" or "booster seat". Hell, you didn't have to strap them in at all! What I remember vividly, however, were the fold down footrests.....Love how quickly those electric windows go down and the "whir" of the motor. I well remember when electric windows were a luxury.

My father had one of these when I was kid. Willow (pale yellow) with a dark brown top and brown leather interior. I would spend 5 hours polishing ever square inch of that car. Door jambs and all. It was pure luxury and rode smooth and quiet like a Rolls Royce. The only issue was these in the salt-belt states is that they would quickly rot at the bottom of the front fenders, above the skirts, and by the lower trim on the vinyl top. They also were often troublesome with the choke in cold weather. By the way, the Fleetwood model has more rear legroom with footrests, but the Sedan De Ville actually had very adequate room itself

I know it’s just how it works, but the comedic timing of the slam of the hood. While presenting the cleanliness and elegance of it, all of a sudden BAM.

Around 1990, got a 1976 Caddy CDV for $800 and drove it for over two years. Then it got booted, had to sell it, got $500 for it. That was a great car and was almost not a beater. 8 MPG is pretty tough...however at that time gasoline was about $1.50 a gallon.

I was thinking the same thing. I have never heard a Cadillac called a 'Cadimack" anywhere in the world in my entire life. Maybe 'caddiyac since LL many times is pronounced kind of like a Y, but Caddimack? Hmmmm.

Good lookin' car! My parents had a '72 Deville when I was a kid. It was silver with navy blue interior. They had it 5 years and I remember many vacations in that car, especially going to Disney World. Thanks for sharing, I just took a trip down memory lane.

I'm into all kinds of different cars (American, European, Japanese, etc), and this car looks like a very nice driver! I would be happy to own it if I only had a garage big enough! They just don't make American cars like that anymore (big, floaty, effortless steering, massive torque), and it provides a driving experience you just can't get anymore.

I owned a 1973 Sedan De Ville and it had the absolute best ride of any car I have ever driven. I really enjoyed it.
