50 years old and this Cadillac is just as impressive as it was in 1973, perhaps even more so! Someone with deep pockets is going to be very lucky to own this beauty. I wish it was me.
Boring doesn’t even begin to describe today’s cars. I thought it was bad enough when interiors were a sea of gray. Black is even worse. When I ordered my 1978 Pontiac Bonneville I had a choice of black, red, brown, green or blue cloth. As I have gotten older I don’t see things as well on a black interior, especially at night. Years later I bought a new 1996 Honda Civic. The particular model that I bought had a choice of 3 exterior colors, black, red & a light copper. I will never own another black car and the red was not a clear coat.
Total DREAM CAR! My grandmother had a ‘73 Sedan deVille in Renaissance Gold. It’s been my favorite car since I can remember. Same hub caps too! I love original showroom features! This is PERFECTION! True Cadillac styling is a thing of the past…. The ‘73-‘76 models were the ULTIMATE cars!
A stunning car in as new condition. Although i am not a fan of pin stripes on this ocassion that red one takes away the all black apperance. With a red interior what is there not to like. The 70's was by far the pinnacle of USA cars, and i was just a spotty nosed teenager back then. My friends had the usual Countach posters.not me i used to buy the American car magazines and kept the centerfold pages for my bedroom walls. I once went to an American car meet, but the cars were not in this condition. You have excelled yourself again Bill, i can only watch with envy. This one should be an easy sale
I had both the '73 Coupe Deville and Sedan Deville. Most stunning of all the luxury cars I ever owned. Parts for the interior were getting difficult to obtain so I sold the coupe to an elderly lady who always wanted one and she traded me her 1976 Olds Delta 88 and cash. I gave the sedan to my X wife to shut her up and she was able to destroy it in just 3 months. Wish I had the coupe today.
Hi Bill from Sydney, Australia. Re the tyres. If they are Uniroyal PURE Synthetic (ie Polyester) they will show no age, no cracking, and no age deterioration EVER as they are PURE SYNTHETIC this was one of the reasons they were created for long life. THEY WILL NOT DRY-ROT EVER. I have a black GM Holden Aust assembled right hand drive 1974 Fleetwood Talisman I have a used set of its original 1974 polyester tyres on a second set of wheel rims and also have ZERO age issues and ZERO cracks. Additionally I have a big 1967 Jaguar mk10 or 420G as the last versions were called. I have owned it for decades, they were shod ex-factory with Dunlop SP41 Aquajet tyres. Back in 1975 when I bought it , it had a mixed set of tyres, however my mum had bought her brand new one in 1971 and had paid the extra, ie. 3 times the price to get PURE SYNTHETIC Aquajets with fine red rings on them. I bought 2 standard rubber new ones for the front, I have near 50 years later the receipt $27.50 each tyre. My grand dad, mum's dad had a fleet of delivery vans for his 3 huge laundry & dry cleaning factories. When I wanted a set of 5 pure synthetic ones, he came with me to his wholesale tyre guy to get a good lower price, I paid $75 per tyre for each of 5 tyres, they gave exceptional mileage. I had a used set of 5 of those and a person with a 1971 Aussie GT HO phase 3 Falcon muscle car had put out feelers for anyone with a set of 1970's synthetic Dunlop SP41 Aquajets to make the car factory correct and he was willing to pay big money for the set of 4 or 5 tyre, so I sold all 5 as they just do not crack they are the early bias belt radials , not steel belts , and that is another reason for them lasting as the polyester bias matting allows the black polyester of the tyre body to be at one with one another something that steel and rubber will never be able to do .
Back in the mid 70s my Dad had a '72 coupe same color black on red and he kept all his cars in mint condition garage kept.....When he sold it to a friend within 2 weeks the car was totalled......Sad.....
That's single stag paint.. it can be color sanded to buff like a mirror. On another note, I've seen some with over 150k miles but look just as if they just rolled off assembly line.
Man! Where in the heck do you find all of these beautiful classic low mile gems? You must have spies looking all over the country for these things 😂😅because I can’t seem to find them anywhere even out here in CA.
Last year for the rear side windows rolling down and the stylish wrap around instrument cluster. Much rather buy one of these used than the later ones new.
So if one purchases a gorgeous car like this, can a Caddy dealer provide service or does one have to take it to a shop that specializes in working on older vehicles?
It appears that someone bought this car in '73 purposely as a future collector car. Besutiful condition. American cars of this era rode the best worldwide.
Bill, the car doesn't have a telescopic wheel? I have had a few of these. A gold 1971 CDV stands out in my mind. I much prefer these in a hearse set up. Fun fact: The 1973 commercial chassis was sent with the 1972 tail light assembly. The 1973 assembly didn't lend itself well to the coach company designs.
Respectfully: Your looking for an accident driving on the original 50 year old tires. I would put new tires on it and keep the originals for the value. Beautiful relic from the past
I think the tint would be good. The stripes, I personally like the way it accents the red interior. But hey, we all have different preferences!! Thanks!
@@christianbugatticg The Eldorado's came with pin stripes, not too sure what year that started but as an example the Bicentennial Eldo had special red and blue pinstripes. Everything was very gaudy in the 70's and there were some custom pinstriping done what was in very questionable taste even for then. The pinstriping on this car is VERY nice and enhances its look!
As of now you have to go to the link and bid, as it is already committed to the auction site and it has active bids. Good luck if you decide to bid!! bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-cadillac-deville-18/
Suspect? You should realize that back in those days you could order stuff just about any way you wanted it. OR the dealer could have installed them, OR the owner may have had them done. Thanks for the input
Yeah well, it was scrutinized by some of the most qualified experts on Cadillacs for a week when it was up for auction on Bring a Trailer. The market spoke and it sold for $51,000. So yes, sure, it has 3800 miles.
It is absolutely a selling point to the serious collector. There is NO WAY I am removing original tires off of a 3,800 mile original car. And you don't like the stripes?? That's ok, watch what the car sells for.

Driving a 1973 Coupé de Ville is the best anti stress treatment you can do to yourself.
Oh yes!!
A trip on a cloud..
Oh for sure! @@johnfrakes4746
Those colors are amazing. The richness of that interior ,Wow, today's boring interiors don't even come close.
You are 100% correct!

What a beautiful time capsule. I’d rather have one of these than any brand new cookie cutter plastic car or SUV out there. These were real cars.
I agree Veronica! Way more style back then!
Seeing you guys driving that car brings back some good memories for me. Driving my dad’s 72 Coupe Deville around, basically the same car as that.
Thanks!!
Now THAT'S a Cadillac!!! 🥰
Thanks!
What a car ! Thanks for the video!
Sure is!!! This is DEF America's Rolls Royce of the day!
Please move to Warren, Michigan, then I could buy cars as desired and anger my financial manager. Thank you,

Hey wow, thank you for sharing that knowledge.
You are correct you can no longer compare American cars to foreign, the American cars are so much better.
Now?? I don't think so.
What an absolute beauty Bill!!!!
Thanks!!
BEAUTIFUL
Thanks!
Your bracelet is amazing !
Thank you!!
WHAT!??? 3,800 miles? You do have a time machine!!!
I sure wish I did! I do have a lot of time investing in searching! lol
I was around when this car was new. I was 16. Black vehicles were not common.
That is true!
Black with red interior, My all time favorite, Right there the price goes up.
Well we shall see soon enough!
Back in the mid 70s my Dad had a '72 coupe same color black on red and he kept all his cars in mint condition garage kept.....When he sold it to a friend within 2 weeks the car was totalled......Sad.....

Yes you can get the paint really popping! But at 150k you never see an interior this nice.

Last year for the rear side windows rolling down and the stylish wrap around instrument cluster. Much rather buy one of these used than the later ones new.

I believe the electric antenna was an option. Whether it was "sound system" determined or a stand-alone option I don't know.
Oh ok!
Outside of the 69. This is my favorite year.
Thanks!

It has telescopic as the tilt option got you telescopic. You can see the extension part of the column that moves in and out...
My eyes must be failing me.@@mrBILL-sr2cu

I love that video my kind of car
Thanks!

I totally agree but in this case I didn't go super fast nor go a long distance from the lot. Thanks!
Beautiful vehicle I would put a mild tint on the windows also get rid of the pinstriping
I think the tint would be good. The stripes, I personally like the way it accents the red interior. But hey, we all have different preferences!! Thanks!
The pinstriping is definitely custom. not factory!
How do you know with 100% certainty?? I do know that many times that stuff is dealer installed. Looks great either way!
@@christianbugatticg 1973 DeVille did not
come with pinstripes.

Kind of suspect, the pinstripe is completely wrong, and these cars came from the factory with pinstriping.
