procol Harum/A whiter shade of pale
Yeah buddy I’m impressed =) I saw that song on billboard 100 for 67 and was like hell yeah
This song was significant in the expansion of progressive rock as a musical experience. Musicians became better because of this piece. The organ section comes from Bach’s Sleepers Awake.
In Sleepers Awake the section played on organ in Whiter Shade of Pale is played on harpsichord.
Great job !
Well done 👏👏☺️
Having a Cadillac in our upscale suburb in 1967 projected wealth & status. One of my high school friend's parents bought a new '67 Sedan DeVille. When I was invited to the country club they belonged to I was picked up in this car. Let me tell you, riding in a late '60s Caddy was an experience! It wasn't just a car but a statement.
I remember when I was a kid , every time you passed by a limousine on the road you would try to get a peek inside because back then only notable businessmen, people from wealthy and known families and some celebrities rode in limousines. Today all it means is that you had an extra hundred dollars to spend.
This is my dream car. The forward leaning stacked lights, the big vertical taillights, the big sweep across the full length of the body side... 67 and 68 are dramatically styled, handsome, imposing cars. A DeVille or Calais, regardless of body style, from 67 or 68, is seriously my dream car. While the earlier cars had a higher quality interior, to me, the exterior in this years was just a master class of design regardless of body style.
Totally agree =)
Those were "TRUE" Cadillac's,, big, long, low, HUGE cars! Wonderful vehicles. 1976 was the LAST year of the really big Caddy's
I got to drive and review a 76 Cadillac that was a huge car
Big Cadillac fan here. These old Cadillacs are some of the most beautiful American cars ever produced. My step father drove a ‘77 and then an ‘81 Sedan de Ville which were my favourite cars he ever owned. I drive a DTS now which is basically the great grandson of this car.
.....thanks for the vid.....1965-70 is widely considered to be the high water mark for quality at GM, including Cadillac......in the scenarios, however, I'd take the Lincoln and the Toronado over the Caddie......
All i have to say , masterpiece i just love it this fine automobile ❤❤❤
I love that Caddy Jay, its so big.
Beautiful automobile. Detail was important and Bill Mitchell was definitely getting it done !
OMG, the body lines on that Babe!!!!!!!!! Amazing......when Caddy set the standard
Love the lines =)
That's some Don Draper action right there, Bud.
I always wanted a 1966 caddy coupe convertible sky blue white interior...I keep playing Lotto 😂😂
That's a sweet car what more can I say❤❤
So cool , i had a 1972 472 engine , lot’s of torque and burning tires lol , had a 1976 500 engine , nice too . Caddy are nice
If you weren’t their in 1967, it is hard to wrap you head around just how this would have been the penultimate in luxury autos. The paint color said it all. Absolutely fantastic vehicle.
I wish I was around and 67 I really do I was a really cool year that I missed
I almost traded my vintage 56 VW in on a very low mileage 67 Cadillac that was owned by one of my mom’s friends. She claimed that she consistently got over 17 mpg (great for the time) and never had any issues with the car. But I liked to shift for myself and mine was a convertible, so reluctantly I held off making the change. But the Caddie would have been quite an upgrade in many ways.
I agree with some of the comments saying that this car was from the golden age of Cadillac. Even a short time later in 1975 as a noticing car enthusiast I could see how GM was starting to implement cost cutting by cheapening the interior materials- the cloth headliner of my grandfather’s 1975 was of identical material to my dad’s Chevrolet company car, the switches also were identical for headlamps and other accessories.
Thanks again for a trip to the past, giving us a glimpse of what things were like.
Cool story thank you for sharing those memories
Beautiful car!
I have a PERFECT horn button/steering wheel center in dark red for a 67 DeVille I'd let go for a very reasonable price as I don't have any place I could use it again. It's been in Texas for life and been slowly baked in our heat down here for 35 years until I brought it indoors, but it has no cracks, blemishes, or disfigurements.
Stunning Cadillac!
1967 imperial and 67 thunder chicken i had 68 thunderbird great car i killed 3 rear axles in it 😂 she'd smoth run all the horses 😉..
Happy Motoring ✌️🤠👏👏
1967 Lincoln continental I have driven one of these wonderful riding car handles great for a floatie car.
I miss floaty riding cars everything has to be sport now bring back the bench seats =)
Thanks jay great choice today I love the look of the 67 but the interior on the 65&66 was much nicer. Given the choice id take the 67 caddy and the t-bird
1967 was the greatest year in Cadillac's history & the 67 Eldorado was the most beautiful Cadillac ever built
First thing I would pull off the cover of the front seat, to see the condition of the uphulstery underneath.
Secondly I would put stock wheels and wheel covers on that beautiful car.
Totally agree those wheels are hideous the cover it’s livable because the seat underneath is beautiful and it’s there to protect the seat nobody sits in the backseat that’s why it’s not covered.. I like to get in the back to show what a full-size adult would look like see if you have a bunch of car friends and you want to take it to a car show and use the car as it was intended to be.
67 Lincoln coupe
67 Toronado
If you're driving a Coupe DeVille you're not worried about the rear seat room. I also liked the cornering lights wish they still used them. I also remember door lights that illuminated the area right outside the door when you opened it so you could see as you stepped out if there was a puddle or other mess next to the car.
Great choices =)
I’ve owned Lincolns with cornering lights and that is a feature that I honestly miss
Enjoyed!!!! 👍👍
When the American motor industry was at its best. No pests interfering like that EPA!
The 65 or 66 Cadillacs were the last of the very high quality interiors and styling with more metal and chrome trim vs the cheap plastics they started in 67 and 68. It got really bad in 69 however were there was literally no brightwork on the dash and interior of the 69 Cadillacs.
1964 on down was the absolute last era of the flamboyant highest quality Cadillacs ever made IMO. The bodies felt heavier and more sturdy than the 65 on up years. Although I do like the styling of the late 60’s Cads, their exterior fit and finish was still very good with high quality trim and chrome.
By 1971 it was absolutely all down hill from there for Cadillac and most of GM vehicle quality. Ford built much better cars in the 70’s than GM did. They rode smoother, were quieter and felt more solid to drive. Specifically the Lincoln Continentals and Mercury Grand Marquis.
Great analysis
I'm sure I've told you before that I had a 65 DeVille convertible back in the early 80's. It had power vent windows and all options but cruise, It needed a lot of work though, that I wasn't inspired to do at the time. Hormones were raging and other things caught my attention. Wished I had kept it. The 67 had beautiful flowing lines outside but the dash was a cheap disgrace compared to the 65 and 66. WYR 1. The Imp. 2. Wow, that's a hard call between the T-Bird and the Toronado. Just give me both please! Stumped on the tune.
Great choices it would be a really hard choice between the Thunderbird and the tornado that’s why I figured I’d add those two in there even though they’re not up to the Classic Car that the Cadillac Deville is but they’re almost there that’s how luxurious the tornado and Thunderbird were I really need to find a Thunderbird from that generation would really like to cover the four-door..
@19:49: I have 18 of these lp's, and actually am acquainted (through a friend) with the lead singer of one of these albums. SHE is still living.
Thank you! WYR: 1967 DeVille and 67 Toronado (but it was tough to choose). My grandfather drove Cadillacs from the 60s to the early 70s. I fondly recall the feeling of riding in those. Thanks as always ~ Chuck
I can image the ride floaty.. cool choices =)
would you rather cadillac and Toronado. Great stuff as usual. Agreed about the pic sharing on here.
o love the brochure illystrations
Me too I love the watercolor especially from the 30s 40s and 50s
The left coat hook is missing you can see the screw whole.
Yeah I was going to say that in the video but for whatever reason didn’t
I think I like the 66s dash the best. I'll take the Imperial Crown and the Olds Toronado.
Sweet choices
All 3 are beautiful, those imperials were really well made, second choice would be the feature caddy
Great choices =)
I like both, but essentially the 66.
1. COUPE DE VILLE & 2. TORONADO! ❤😍💯👍
Sweet choices =)
I’d have to go with the tbird , Lincoln or Chrysler. Never had luck with any GM product.
I'd go for the 1967 Caddy but just because I love saying "Coupe de Ville" ( I also love "Deuce and a Quarter" for the Buick Electra). The 1966 instrument panel and steering wheel look better than the 1967. Second question preference is the Toronado, though I'd hold out for a 1966. Body and paint look good on this example, but I would have spent a little time and money to clean up the molding at the base of the vinyl roof; it looks rusty. I recognize the song but not the title or the artist.
I'll take that 67 Imperial, it's the rarest of the bunch
This is the same year make and model of the first Cadillac I ever drove, I was 16 so 1976 the car belonged to my Aunt mom's baby sister. I thought my parents 1972 Delta 88 Custom was big but that thing was like driving a truck and trailer it was huge. I was told to run an errand and asked my Aunt to move her car and she was like just take it. I felt like I was driving a big boat the way it floated over the road.
Thank you so much for sharing those memories =)
The 66 Cad looks better..I would take the Imperial 1st, Olds 2nd and Third 3rd just those
All GM B and C bodies in 67-68 were particularly exuberant. Those were the years of the 2dr fastbacks for Chevy and the BOPs, and even the 4dr hardtops had that look (the the detriment of ingress/egress). Cadillac had to be content with the more formal roof (echoed interestingly on the Caprice, but not the BOP cars) so they went for thrusting fenders and the diving bodyside crease to achieve the same feeling. Everything got toned down for 69, particularly the Cadillacs. As a young car person it took me awhile to differentiate between the 67 and 68 without looking at the dash, but there's 4 easy giveaways; grille, wipers, taillights and of course the ultimate cheat - side marker lights, mandatory in 68. WYR #1 - Imp, #2 if I can have the 428, then the T-bird - probably the only one who chose that.
Awesome choices thank you so much for sharing all that insight as well you’re not the only one that shows the Thunderbird and I know that the Thunderbird and the Toronado aren’t really part of the same tier that Cadillac is but they were really close pricewise.. I mean $1000 cheaper and when you put it in perspective like that I don’t know if I could choose the DeVill over the tornado or the Thunderbird between the two the Thunderbird and the tornado that would be a really hard choice for me as well both really nice cars styled super nice you don’t really see either of them too much but I’ve seen more Oldsmobile tornado than I’ve seen ford Thunderbirds from that generation
My 65 Impala SS had to be Bill Mitchell’s best work. Boy! Was that car BEAUTIFUL!
Mom bought it for me as my first car in 74 for 200$ energy crisis special. It got 20 mpg at 55 on the freeway 10 in town 283 Powerglide on the floor.
Nice 🥰
I can see why the caddy dominated the market but I'd take the imperial for 67
Had a conv white nice car 10 mpg dollar gas 😅❤
It seems that Bill Mitchell had a pencil and a ruler and just went for it but what a beautiful car he designed. As usual you've made it almost impossible to decide what I prefer but I think I will have the tbird and the imperial. I love Cadillacs and the 67 is one of my favourite caddies but like I said you made it so tough. Thanks Jay
So sorry I meant Lincoln not thunderbird
Glad you dig this episode great choices =)
I really like your car reviews parked along side Mr Dxxx DeMxxx. He drives me nuts getting into way too much detail, and going on, and on, and on covering way too much, and taking forever. There is something called too much information, and those other car reviewers deliver more than I like. Your reviews are very enjoyable.
Thank you so much =) glad you dig this channel. I watch Doug, I like his show been watching since he lived in Philadelphia pa
That’s a fine line between what is the right amount of information I wanted this channel to give all different types of oils to use but can’t really do that because climate has like to do with what oil you should use running temperature and stuff like that unfortunately a lot of times that information is not the easiest thing in the world to find
Classic mid-century style. My second favorite full-size Cadillac. Favorite is the 1957. WYR 1. Coupe De Ville 2. Toronado. 16:51 I've got those Aretha Franklin and Jimmi Hendrix LP albums. My sister's got that Doors album and she has to die before I get it!
I started including advertisements at the end of the episodes of products that were available and bands that were around I think I’m going to do that because it really drives at home as to what was going on during that year =)
Great choices
The Doors died!
I like the blue dash more.
In 67 Cadillac’s engine was built like a brick, cars received dual master cylinder braking systems and GM offered the Turbohydromatic on all BOC eight cylinder offerings. It was their zenith year for balancing performance, quality and in fact volume. Their materials used on both interiors and exteriors was still excellent and changed noticeably the next year though still good until 1971.
I think that if I was of driving and affluent car buying age in 1967 I would have personally chosen either the Imperial or the Thunderbird.
I want to find the imperial that’s the really hard one the phone but I also haven’t done a Thunderbird from that era either haven’t been able to find one =)
I’ve always liked the four door version with the rear hinged doors.
Maybe Cilla Black - You Don't Have to Love Me? Just a shot in the dark there. 😊
Great guess but not that song =)
Caddy and the T-Bird for me.
Sweet, ive been looking for that generation of thunderbird the four four is interesting
If it's 67' Caddy, it should be the tour de force Eldorado!
I want to find the Eldorado never saw one in person
I would prefer the 1967 Cadillac to the 1966 model. I would also choose it over the '67 Thunderbird or Toronado, but would pick the Imperial over any of them because it is rarer.
Great choices =) and insight
I had one of these for about six months until I could no longer afford the gas. If you accelerated hard, you could actually watch the gas gauge go down. It was fun though when you hit the gas the whole front of the vehicle would lift up slightly and then all the sudden you be whooshing off and going 60 miles an hour in a blink, compared to other cars of the era. It also had a vapor lock problem when it got hot so you had to wait for it to cool down to start it again. And yes, the amount of hoses was insane!
Awesome story thank you so much for sharing those memories =)
It would be better with the stock hubcaps and whitewalls.
I'd rather have the Cadillac in both scenarios
Totally agree I don’t know what possessed somebody to put those hideous wheels on this car
I always liked the 67 Cadillacs, at least the styling, until I bought one. I didn’t know the 429 V8 has an oil delivery problem that was never fixed, and the engines die prematurely. I found that 4-wheel drum brakes not good enough for the conditions we drive in today. I thought I was going to make it a daily driver, but when I tried to make it happen it was too impractical to make it real. When I found out I can’t fix the oil delivery problem because the timing chain cover is not available anywhere, I scrapped it. The car was made before crumple zones, leaving it pretty unsafe at any speed. The pneumatically controlled everything was a labor of love to keep it operating. Some day I may go for a 1968 model which has the 472 engine that will last.
Thank you so much for adding all of that information and insight I was unaware of the 429 dying prematurely that’s why this is a community not a car channel I don’t know everything there is to know about every car. And that is some definitely some useful information to somebody especially if they’re getting into this type of car and don’t know everything there is to know about it. Thank you so much for sharing that. =)
Buick and Cadillac both had a tendency to put steel spinning in an aluminum housing, and I'd like to ask the egineering department what they thought was going to happen with that.? The aluminum housing slowly wallows out, allowing a slight pressure drop that will not turn on a tell-tale light, but very slowly stops oiling the top of the heads. By the time it's evident, extreme damage is done, and there's no way to repair that other than find another water pump housing that isn't wallowed out yet - if you have time for an Easter Egg hunt. GM could care less how the motor performed past 100,000 miles then or now. The Olds Rocket V8 is inifinitely more durable than Cadillac or Buick motors of the day. All of them will pass anything but the next gasoline pump.
Hi Jay!: The 1967 Caddy is nice! My Dad's Boss' Father had a Gold 1969 or 1970 Caddy that was the same color as the one featured. I like pretty much everything about the car you show, except for that weird, off center looking steering wheel. 1967 was a bad year for steering wheels, I guess. Ford had a wacky design on the Mustang and Falcon. I think they used in on the Fairlane as well.
Anyway, WYR#1 Going to pick Lincoln on that one. #2 Goin' with the Toronado on that one, those were NICE cars early on!!
Awesome choices =)
For WYR, I would pick the Lincoln, and the Oldsmobile Toronado...I always loved its looks.
I wonder if that cornering light blinks like the directional, or does it stay on when in use?
It stays on with a steady beam.
When turn the turn signal on it is a light that comes on and stays on until turn signal shuts off
Great choices =)
What a work of art it is!
I hear the size of the fuel tank isn’t all that big, are you able to tell me how many gallons it is please?
According to the specifications it has a 26 gallon gas tank the El Dorado has a 24 gallon gas tank
I love all the Cadillacs of the '60s , and the evolution of the models each year, this is probably my favorite, this would definitely be in the top group of my list of dream cars. I love the color of this one! I'm a big fan of the stacked headlight design also. I love the heftier look of GM designs of the late '60s. I would pick the Caddy's, although the T-Bird would be totally awesome as well!! Cool video 😎 I feel like I should know the tune, but can't zone in on it 🤔 is it some groovy mod '60s group?
The song was from 1967 whiter Shade of pale procol harum I absolutely love that song and when I saw it on the 67 billboard 100 for 1967 I was like hell yeah, I didn’t know that song was that old.. great choices I should say I didn’t know that song goes back that far =) because I don’t consider 67 old
Back then I would prefer the Tornado, now I would choose the t-bird.
It would be a hard pick between those two
1 I'd take all the cars ---2 67 Cadi.
1. Lincoln Continental. 2. Olds Toranando. Where can I get me some Barbasol?
Sweet choices =)
Not sure if that’s still a product for sale
Lincoln and Tornado 1967
Cool choices =)
yeah, that fast forward look, looks better to me.
=)
1967 Dash
1967 Imperial
1967 Thunderbird
But I’d rather have a 1967 Buck Electra
Sweet awesome write in =)
Pedestrian impact standards were leave the scene, mid 60s cars were styled well though
Tough name that tune... I'd take the Imperial and the Toronado.
Great choices had to make it harder someone did get it =)
Whiter shade of pale/ procol harum
Do the impala ss next!
When I go back if it’s still there =)
1: 1967 Coupe DeVille.
2: All 3.
Sweet =)
Is there a length difference between the 67 Coupe DeVille and the Hardtop Sedan DeVille. Or is it the door orientation on the Sedan that makes the car look longer? Also great video!
All the 67 de Ville models are exactly the same length. I think that is the roof lines that give the different body styles different appearances.
@@danielulz1640 interesting, thanks!
that GASKET is added from the owner, it's not "Stock" with that.
Great to know =)
1st choice, Imperial Crown Coupe, 2nd choice, Thunderbird.
Beautiful Coupe de Ville, but the modern chrome wheels and black wall tires look utterly ridiculous on this vintage luxury car. Looks kind of like a man in a tuxedo wearing sandals and white socks!
Totally agree I have no idea why people think putting these kind of wheels look good.. it’s like a huge tattoo on a beautiful girl to me. It definitely doesn’t make the girl more pretty does the opposite for me. At least the wheels are Easily changeable
Great choices
The t bird id take the Deville in both segments if was a 68
Sweet =)
I’d take the sleek n sexy '67 Caddy Coupe Deville in Red over the Lincoln Continental and Imperial hands down. By '67, the Lincoln didn’t look nearly as elegant as the earlier '61-65 Continentals, and the Imperial just look too stodgy in comparison.
Imperial
The 66 dash is preferable to me overall. It still has the round air vents and a uniquely attractive steering wheel. From 67 the classic, but to me very ugly tri-spoke steering wheel was introduced. The spoke design is too gross in thickness as it ascends to the hub. They then made it far worse by emphasising the hub with a circle and additional spoke lines. I cannot for the life of me imagine what they were thinking. This would have to be the most critical I can be of Cadillacs from the 60s though, so in fairness, I would get an aftermarket steering wheel. Sadly I have never had an opportunity to drive a 60s Cadillac or Lincoln Continental, although from what I have been told, the handling would probably freak me out. As an Aussie, even driving the standard GM fare of the early 90s freaked me out with their awful steering characteristics. (over steer, then under steer when corrected) From this, a GM land yacht from the 60s has got to be a bit of a gamble with your life?
I have driven a 1965 Sedan dé Ville, a 1966 Fleetwood limousine, owned and driven for 9 years a 1973 Coupé de Ville, and owned and driven a 1978 Fleetwood limousine for 5 years.
All of the cars in Denmark.
I DON'T agree on the talk about freaky steering. If you put good steel belted white wall radial tires on them, these cars handles and corners beautifully and precise. Drove over 100K miles in the 1973 and 1978. As I drove all he cars in Denmark, I am familiar with them on regular country and small side roads as well. Not only highways. That was the exception.
There is a lot of taboo about these cars amongst people, who have never driven them. Too bad. I refer to a baptist priest in Chicago in 1980, who said: "If you ever want to buy a second hand car buy a Cadillac."
I had and drove a 1975 Mercury Montego MX Coupé in the US at the time he said it.
@@KoldingDenmark Cheers brother, it is nice to hear that I am wrong about these cars, with the fitment of modern radial tyres that should bear additional fruit.
Awesome car ! Lose the goofy looking rims
I totally agree those rims are hideous
The 67's were nice looking Caddy's and very powerful. However, those wheels are totally wrong for the car and I would walk away from that car shaking my head.
I don't think that Cadillac ever totally got rid of the fins on many of it's car models.
Yeah I have no idea why people put hideous wheels on cars it doesn’t make sense to me.. at the very least they’re not Crager SS is our American racing but still..
@@What.its.like. Well, I've got a few words I call those kinds of wheels and other mods they do to the styling, but those words would be racial slurs, no matter how appropriate they would be, so I'm not going to use them. lol
The Imperial or Continental.
Groovy choices man =)
A nice Cadillac, ruined by those wheels. At least they are easily replaceable. And I"ll take the Continental Coupe.
Totally agree the wheels are hideous
Oldsmobile
LINCOLN & THUNDERBIRD!!!
Sweet choices =)
Wheels suck big time. Go to the junk yard and get some steelies and hub caps.
Yeah I’m not a fan of the wheels either
Hey Jay, what's with the subliminal suggestion, of a woman on her knees?
The mirrors look wrong.
Those are factory.
Real cheesy compared to 68 and on. Look like they got them at Dollar General.@@danielulz1640
Coupe deVille: parts are many times more available for these cars because they were so much more popular than lincoln and imperial. Just look at Hemmings motor news for sale ads and parts suppliers.
Most definitely in the Internet has made it easier to find parts as well
I'll take the lincoln and then the toronado ! Why do you ask ?
Sweet =)
