This special example sold new to its original owner, Joe Scott, on June 17th, 1974 through Elder Cadillac of Belleville, IL just outside of St. Louis, Missouri. Contrary to popular belief that Mr. Scott always retained each of his personal Cadillacs into his private collection, we actually now have proof that he traded a vehicle in on a purchase! With just 11 miles on the odometer of this Sedan DeVille, he elected to include his 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe as partial payment in the transaction! This new Cadillac would immediately be titled at their Fort Lauderdale, FL home where it would remain until the early 1990's. Today, the odometer has only accumulated 67,532 actual miles and continues to show extremely well! Used sparingly these last several years, the St. Louis Car Museum took the liberty of preparing it for sale for the first time in 50 years!
Upon arrival, we would perform an immediate tune to include professionally rebuilding the original carburetor with new floats; new spark plugs, wires, distributor cap & rotor; fresh engine air filter; new engine oil with filter; repacking the front wheel bearings; cleaning up the front brakes, turning the front brake rotors and installing new pads; new transmission output shaft seal, and balancing and installing brand new tires. It was then thoroughly detailed for its next lucky owner! Included with the sale will be all the original owner's manuals & warranty booklets, window sticker (hard to read), copy of purchase order and sales documentation, Florida registrations to 1993, and original title from issuance in July 1974. Please feel free to call with questions or to schedule your chance to review this unique Sedan DeVille d'Elegance in person. Thanks as always for looking!
