This 1964 Cadillac De Ville Convertible embodies the elegance and presence of Cadillac?s golden era, finished in red with a white convertible top and a matching red velvet interior. Purchased from a family member in 1997, it has remained in long-term care and is believed to retain its original mileage.
Power comes from the 429 cubic-inch (7.0L) V8, introduced for 1964 as a major upgrade over the outgoing 390ci. Paired with the new-for-1964 Turbo-Hydramatic 3-speed automatic transmission, it delivered smoother shifts and improved performance, making this model year an important milestone in Cadillac engineering. The car rides on 3.21 gears with drum brakes, providing the classic, effortless big Cadillac driving experience - soft, composed, and undeniably comfortable, just like a rolling sofa.
About 15 years ago, the car received comprehensive servicing to ensure continued drivability, including a rebuilt carburetor, new brake lines, and a new exhaust manifold. Since then, it has been driven sparingly, preserving its condition while maintaining its charm as a true classic.
With its distinctive proportions, velvet-lined interior, and the unmatched presence of a full-size Cadillac convertible, this De Ville remains a statement piece. It blends historical significance - being the first year of the 429 V8 and Turbo-Hydramatic - with the timeless appeal of Cadillac luxury.
