Vehicle Description

There are vehicles that are restored. And there are vehicles that are completely recreated with an uncompromising standard. This Cadillac DeVille Convertible undoubtedly belongs to the second category.

The current owner imported the vehicle from Nevada (USA) in 2012 to realize his personal dream of a classic American convertible equipped with modern technology and maximum everyday usability. Regardless of cost, an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind vehicle was built over a period of approximately six years. Today, it presents itself in condition grade 1, perfectly combining classic elegance with contemporary engineering.

A total of around €170,000 was invested in the rebuild. Extensive invoices and exceptionally detailed documentation are available for more than 90% of the work performed. The DEKRA appraisal confirms this extraordinary effort with a replacement value of €178,000. Furthermore, the vehicle successfully passed individual type approval as a custom build according to §21 StVZO. A classic car certificate according to §23 StVZO is also present.

During the restoration, the vehicle was completely disassembled and rebuilt from the ground up. The frame and body were separated, professionally stripped of paint, repaired, and then meticulously reassembled. Numerous suspension and body components were renewed or overhauled. The result is an exceptionally high-quality Restomod that blends classic American coachbuilding with modern engineering.

Power is provided by a Chevrolet LQ4 6.0-liter V8 engine with a registered output of 224 kW (304 hp). Paired with the modern 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, the Cadillac offers effortless power reserves and a relaxed driving experience on long journeys. Custom-made engine mounts, a bespoke driveshaft, a rebuilt cooling system, and numerous individually fabricated components document the enormous technical effort invested in this project.

The chassis is equally sophisticated. It features an Air Ride Technologies air suspension that automatically adjusts to the vehicle's weight, combining ultimate driving comfort with individually adjustable ride height. This setup is complemented by a modern disc brake system with a hydraulic brake booster and a high-quality, custom-made stainless steel exhaust system.

The interior has been completely redesigned, blending classic elegance with modern functionality. A high-quality custom leather interior, new carpets, meticulously restored trim pieces, and numerous convenience details create an exclusive ambiance. A modern audio system in a contemporary original design integrates harmoniously into the overall picture. The electric convertible top has also been renewed, and the air conditioning system operates flawlessly.

Since the completion of the project, the vehicle has been driven exclusively in fair weather and has been stored continuously in a heated garage. Regular maintenance, including oil changes, was carried out every two years. Before being handed over to the new owner, the vehicle will receive another fresh service and a new main inspection.

This Cadillac DeVille is far more than a restored classic. It is a one-of-a-kind vehicle built with extraordinary passion, impressively combining the highest level of craftsmanship, modern technology, and the unmistakable character of an American luxury convertible.
