Chassis no. 6D47S6Q249430. Cotillion White with Light Buckskin half-vinyl roof over Antique Light Buckskin leather. 500/190hp, automatic, wire wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, bench seat, pushbutton radio, power seats, air conditioning, tilt/telescopic steering column.

Evaluation: Located in Florida. $3700 spent on service in 2018. Air conditioning doesn’t work, which might be a problem in South Florida. Some light surface rust underneath but tidy engine bay. A few chips visible on the nose and a long scratch on one of the fender skirts but the paint mostly looks good. Very well kept interior. A solid driver. From the last year of GM’s biggest body series before Caddies were downsized for 1977.

Bottom Line: A driver-quality Coupe DeVille bought for driver-quality money. With 19-feet and 500 cubic inches of Cadillac at a winning bid of 12 grand, it’s a sweet value in car-per-dollar terms.

Condition definitions
Condition #1: Concours
Condition #1 vehicles are the best in the world. The visual image is of the best vehicle, in the right colors, driving onto the lawn at the finest concours. Perfectly clean, the vehicle has been groomed down to the tire treads. Painted and chromed surfaces are mirror-like. Dust and dirt are banned, and materials used are correct and superbly fitted. The one word description for #1 vehicles is “concours.“
Condition #2: Excellent
#2 vehicles could win a local or regional show. They can be former #1 vehicles that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned observers will have to look closely for flaws, but will be able to find some not seen by the general public. The paint, chrome, glass and finishes will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke will be seen on startup, no unusual noises will emanate from the engine. The vehicle will drive as a new vehicle of its era would. The one word description for #2 vehicles is “excellent.“
Condition #3: Good
#3 vehicles could possess some, but not all of the issues of a #4 vehicle, but they will be balanced by other factors such as a fresh paint job or a new, correct interior where applicable. #3 vehicles drive and run well, but might have some incorrect parts. These vehicles are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. “Good” is the one word description of a #3 vehicle.
Condition #4: Fair
#4 vehicles are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the body has a minor dent. Split seams or a cracked dash, where applicable, might be present. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or other non- stock additions might be present. A #4 vehicle can also be a deteriorated restoration. “Fair” is the one word that describes a #4 vehicle.
Condition #5: Poor
Running, but battered, incomplete, and perhaps rusty.
Condition #6: Parts car
Parts car.
