This is a solid original “black plate” California  three owner DeVille convertible (Style number 68367-F) said to have 137,000 original miles.  This car has a new average quality respray in the original color as well as a new glass rear window top and top boot.    It is a fabulous original car that can be enjoyed as-is or improved for show over time.  The mechanicals, interior and chrome are very good.

This car was purchased new on April 16, 1965 in the Whittier, Ca at McAllister Cadillac by BJ and Joan Oganesoff.   The Oganesoff family lived in Whittier as well.   The car has never strayed far from home as it remained in Southern California all its life and still wears the original “black plate”.

It has a fully functioning and new correct black convertible top.   The car has recently installed radial tires and mechanically is very strong and has been fully serviced.   This is a very clean and rust free example with no signs of rust.   We have included  close up photographs of the undercarriage for details.  It is very close to rust free and very solid as you would expect from a “black plate” California motorcar.

There were 19,200 DeVille Convertibles made in 1965.  Each had the powerful 429 cu in V8 with 340 hp.  The 129.5 in wheelbase makes for a very smooth and luxurious ride with an overall length of 224 inches.  Of course this DeVille is loaded with options including air conditioning (not presently working) and power windows and top. These 1960′s Cadillacs are fabulous motorcars.

The NADA value shows High Retail at $28,700 and Average Retail at $19,850.  See details of the value at: http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1965/Cadillac/Deville/2-Door-Convertible/Values.

This, being a documented “black plate” car with documented history is a terrific value.  To research financing alternatives and to learn more about buying collector cars, please visit our website at www.classicpromenade.com.
