General description :
Our Detroit showroom is proud to offer a hidden gem in the Cadillac world. This 1996 Cadillac DeVille Brougham is possibly one of the last "real Cadillac's" available. This enormous rear wheel drive, LT1 derived fuel injected V8 was the last year available for rear wheel drive Cadillac's. This specific Caddy came out of a fleet where it was adored, pampered and maintained regularly to ensure the best drivability. This cloth seat Caddy is definitely a great car for long distance trips, short commutes around town or even car show cruising in this memorable Cadillac. The Brilliant Black paint shines beautifully thanks to its professional 3-stage wheel, wax and clay bar treatment. This Cadillac may look like your average Caddy but the power this sedan puts down is that of some sports cars of its era. The interior is a very comfortable gray cloth interior with all the amenities you could want. If you are considering a comfortable cruiser with plenty of cruising life to enjoy, this is the one for you. The white wall tires give this classic Cadillac a timeless appeal that any country club parking lot would admire. If you are in the market for a turn key Caddy, this is a great candidate. With roughly 65,000 miles on the dash, this Cadillac purrs like a kitten.
