1973 Cadillac DeVille review from Australia and New Zealand
"Divine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car because I always wanted one. They are so distinct in looks, and everyone who sees it is impressed.
It is so just different to what is offered today. It is an era that has been and gone, where cars are so conservative today, these are of an era that portrayed by style & grace, where bigger was always better.
General comments?
It drives like the Batmobile. It's a 7.7 litre (472 ci) V8.
It goes real well, cushion suspension.
Nothing made today compares.
