As the leader of America's luxury-car market for much of its existence, Cadillac met the challenges of the 1970s with great success. Following the substantial restyling for 1969, influenced by the new-for-1967 Eldorado, only detail refinements were deemed necessary for 1970 and 1971. The DeVille hardtop sedan and equally strong-selling Coupe DeVille 2-door hardtop were Cadillac's most important models of the era, accounting for 69,345 and 66,081 built out of total Cadillac production of 188,537 for model year 1971, including this exceptionally well preserved and highly original example.

Offered with just over 17,250 original miles and retaining the original paint finish, this unusually well preserved 1971 Cadillac Coupe DeVille exemplifies Cadillac's trademark power and prestige. Built at Cadillac's Linden, New Jersey factory during May 1971 and accompanied by the original sale invoice, it was sold new by the Fries Cadillac Company to Mr. and Mrs. Kern of Pennsylvania, who would use the vehicle only sparingly and preserve it during their ownership. Ordered in black-on-black livery and quite rare without the customary vinyl roof covering, the Coupe DeVille's original options and accessories included Climate Control A/C, an AM/FM radio, Soft Ray tinted glass, a 6-way power-adjustable front seat, and headlamp control. Cadillac's proprietary 472 CI V-8 engine, rated at 345 horsepower, is paired with a Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission.

Methodical mechanical service work performed 2018-21 addressed the Cadillac's A/C system, brakes, interior and exterior lighting, suspension, brakes, exhaust, and various gaskets and seals. A of four new tires was also fitted in 2021. Records for these works are included with the sale of this beautifully presented and highly original 1971 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. Further pre-sale Inspection, service, and detailing are freshly completed. Experience it for yourself by calling us for viewing arrangements, full details, and to book a test drive today!

As-Is:
 
 
The Last Detail has described the above-mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability, however, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and recommend that the buyer inspect and test drive the vehicle before finalizing their purchase.  The Last Detail shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with the vehicle at the buyer’s request prior to close of sale.  No allowances or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement solely.  It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Any and all differences must be addressed prior to the time of sale. The Last Detail assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle.  Despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle’s mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or a previous owner’s diligence in care of said vehicle.  There are no mechanical guarantees, expressed or implied. We will not be responsible for buyer’s remorse or issues to said vehicle once it has left our premises. We are being realistic; most of the cars we sell are vintage and by their very nature will need TLC and some degree of attention sooner or later.  Therefore, all vehicles are sold “AS IS”.  However, extended warranty options are available on most vehicles.  Please inquire if you are interested.
 
 
Mileage:
 
 
Vintage cars in excess of 10 years of age, in most US states, mileage may be recorded as “exempt”. The Last Detail makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown and accepts no responsibility for any discrepancy with independent reports such as CarFax, Autocheck, etc. Unless the vehicle is advertised as an original mileage car, do not assume that the mileage/odometer reading is the actual mileage. It is simply what the odometer is reading at the time pictures are taken. MILEAGE IS NOT ACTUAL UNLESS STATED SO IN THE DESCRIPTION! Vehicles are test driven and mileage may vary at time of sale.
