This is just the right mix of classic and new!! I will be uploading the videos from the 2024 Cadillac and LaSalle Club nationals over this week, stay tuned Roosevelt!
The 1966 cadillac had the prettiest front end of any car around in my opinion! That light blue looks so good on this. I also love the rear end of this year cadillac the best. The 68 is also my all time favorite one as well. The 68 cadillac has the bigger 472 engine with around 390 horsepower! My dad once had a 68 cadillac but it needed a complete restoration so he sold it for $1000.
These ol' luxury barges are expensive to restore, so your Dad may have made a good decision. Many agree with you, Ryan!!! Cadillac had a decade of beautiful designs in the '60's. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please check out my other videos: ruclips.net/video/BfTlt8mmasc/видео.html
Wow Pam I had never seen 1 my Whole Life! In 1971 my Dad bought a the Top of The line FleetWood 1 step down from the Fleetwood Limousine. It was the same Car but without The Opera Window in the back sides. I was 10 in 1970! I really Loved The Big Flat Style that was only around a few years, especially Daves 66 Cadillac Deville Convertable
Your Dad liked the very best!!!! The evolution of Cadillac from the '60's to the '70's was interesting. Here is a video about that: ruclips.net/video/NFPfldQpJAE/видео.html
Cadillac of the mid six's exhumed elegance from every angle!!! Thanks for watching and commenting, Rod. Please check out the other, cool cars on my channel.
Oh yes!!! Just the right touch of today with the commanding lines of yesterday!! Check out the '67 crossing the block at Carlisle... ruclips.net/video/JjgZvxmZI_k/видео.html
Beautiful blue Caddy convertible! My grandfather had a 65 and 67 around the mid to late 60's. They were both 4 door Sedan DeVilles. One summer at the Jersey shore A&P parking lot a gentleman who worked on the assembly line commented to him that they were well made cars back then! Even though my grandfather lived at the shore in Barnegat Light he had a new garage built in 1966, and the nasty salt air caused a lot of rust after several years of exposure! But they were great highway cruisers and thirsty for lots of leaded premium fuel!
There was nothing like the '60's American luxury boats. Thanks for your comment, Tim. Do you have any particular stories of riding or driving in your parents' Cadillacs??
Excellent video cam it's a Cadillac in oh hey your friend Richard isn't the only Cadillac nut around you got your new friend Dave and then is Buddy clay are work Cadillac nuts too
Ahhh, 34PackardPhaeton, each to their own. I agree with you, I like as original, but Dave has brought more awareness to the beautiful Cadillacs of the '60's to more people. The more people we interest, the better the hobby. When you take your Packard to events outside of AACA and the Packard club, how many people stop to admire it, yet they never heard of the grand marque? You are enlightening new enthusiasts!! This is how we will keep our pride and joys on the road instead of becoming a static piece of art in a museum.

I agree, The BIG salad. I follow the price of a barrel of sweet crude as well as average gas prices ( I own a few shares of Imperial Oil ) very interesting!! A barrel is in the mid $80 range. Gas used to sell for upper $2 range with oil at $85/barrel. ... just saying, yadda, yadda, yadda... Hellowww Newman.....
@@carshowreporter Hahaha.....I was thinking more of 1st getting her permission & $50 Grand, but o.k. I'd throw in a puppy too, however the deal breaker would probably be the newest iPhone, Apple Watch or maybe a Kardashian poster is all it would take!
Actually I was asking about the thickness of whitewalls? They look like Coker American classic 1.6”. Just wondering trying to decide on my whitewall thickness. I like the way this size looks compared to the thicker 2.5” or 3”.
I am sorry mame, but I shoot these videos at events. I do not own the cars so I do not know what the number or the brand of the paint the owner used. May I suggest bringing in a screen shot to your paint supplier. Sorry about the long delay in answering.
I don't know if it matters anymore but at 3:10 to 3:12, I believe the owner said the color was "Hampton Blue". Well, apparently, I was right. I found a reference and tried to post a link but this comments section won't let me.
An AWESOME looking ride!!.

Love the mid 60s years with the vertical headlights !!
The interior was also mainly shiny metal. Beautiful but not to safe. Oh well!!!!!😄

Absolutely Beautiful. WOW! I never even had seen 1 until recently!
Its February 2023!
These mid sixties Cadillacs are very impressive, especially in person!! Glad you got to see one, Robert. I hope you can ride in, or even drive one!!

Absolutely Gorgeous Car, love every detail.

The car's beautiful. '66 is one of my favorite years. It's a shame it's been lowered.
It is hard to see our favorite cars modified, but they are not only being saved, but presented to a new generation.
It's on air it can be adjusted to any height you prefer
@@jaredmason439 That's just the point. It's not original.
Yes. You’re losing the whole experience of the car as it was intended. It really isn’t a 1966 Cadillac at all.
Wow best 66 ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Piece or art.
That was when Cadillac spoke volumes with BIG, simple, lines!
I love the car 🚗
Thanks Freddie! Dave did such a good job of tweaking a great design.
@@carshowreporter you're welcome 👍
My parents owned two over the years. Great driving car

Nice 👍
Oh yes!!!!! Thanks for watching.

Restore the ride height via proper, 'stock' spring ---- get rid of the "air ride" and 'bags' . . . .

This Cadillac is a gran dame of the '60's !
What year is that steering wheel from? Looks different than the factory. I drove a 66 fleetwood sedan for about 7 years.
I did not ask about the wheel, sorry. If you can identify it, please post your findings here. Your Fleetwood must have been a real treat to drive!
The steering wheel is from a 1965.
Had one same color in nj conv had a lot of trouble w trans and engine was comfortabe car
I am surprised you had engine/trans trouble. These were mechanically bullet proof. What year was your Cadi, Donald?

What a past fleet, Donald!!! Valve seals were the bane of many oil burners!!! What year was that Cadi??
@@carshowreporter the 66 conv.ertibe .
May have been a 66 eldorado cvt was lt blue . The 61. i had was a cvt barritz
26 cents in 1965 is equivalent to 2.70 today. 2.70 a gallon isn't exactly cheap... just saying.

4:30 Any way to contact his little 7yr old granddaughter to ask her to sell it to me!!!!!! LoL!
No, Chris, you can not trade a puppy for the Cadi!!!😆
@@carshowreporter Hahaha.....I was thinking more of 1st getting her permission & $50 Grand, but o.k. I'd throw in a puppy too, however the deal breaker would probably be the newest iPhone, Apple Watch or maybe a Kardashian poster is all it would take!
It's not a Coupe DeVille it's a DeVille it's convertible Coupe DeVille is a hardtop on a 2 door hardtop
You are correct, Dave!! It was a slip of the tongue. Thanks for the correction.
What size of white walls are on the car?
Sorry, Nicktv2002, I do not remember. They look like they are, or close to, the original, 15" rim size,
Actually I was asking about the thickness of whitewalls? They look like Coker American classic 1.6”. Just wondering trying to decide on my whitewall thickness. I like the way this size looks compared to the thicker 2.5” or 3”.
for sale ?
No mention of availability, price, or contact information was given in this 3 year old video, so I could not tell you.
Nice Cadillac can I have number of this color blue.?
Can u help me sir
I am sorry mame, but I shoot these videos at events. I do not own the cars so I do not know what the number or the brand of the paint the owner used. May I suggest bringing in a screen shot to your paint supplier. Sorry about the long delay in answering.

Convertible is 4,600
Sorry about the long delay in thanking you for your info.
🌹👍
Ah, you are checking out older videos! Thanks, Zahra!!
Too bad it’s ruined with a bunch of cheesy mods!
I understand, but this is what Dave wanted.
