Hi, great to be on the forums! I just got my first Cadillac. It's a 1967 Cadillac DeVille, and it's a beauty. I can't wait to really get to work on making this car a masterpiece of engineering and art! Check out the pictures and some video footage by going to my thread on the Aurora forums...

I got the car for 2,000.00, which I feel is a good deal! What do you folks think? It shouldn't be too hard to bring this baby back. She starts up every time!

Awesome

Are you willing to indulge us with the details?

When I was in high school I was actually choosing between one of those and a 2nd gen Trans Am. I bought the T/A; I couldn't fit the Cadillac in the garage.

WOW! What a blast from the past.It`s really amazing how LARGE Caddy`s were from a time gone by.You`re Caddy classic must be close to 21 feet long and may weigh well over 2 tons.

A 1967 Cadillac Deville was parked next to my 1995 Deville in a parking lot the other day----both of our front ends were lined up straight and the '67 was at least 2 feet longer than mine----i was amazed-----LAND YACHTS from a more is better era.

I will only sell that Spice freshener for a tune of 300 bucks, it is truly a collectors piece! But no seriously, the best smell of those trees is the Vanillaroma! I use it in my Aurora. I know exactly what you mean about this car's length, it weighs in at 19.6 feet long! I don't about the weight though, it should be more than 2 tons, cuz that is what my Aurora weighs, and this car is much bigger!

I have a question as I do not have the owner's manual nor do I have a service manual yet. What kind of oil should I use (I use Shell 10w-30 oil - I don't like synthetic and I don't think I need high mileage is it has less mileage than my Aurora - 114,000.). And how much oil should it use? I"m planning on putting on a new alternator and changing the oil.

What kind of cooling system does this car have? The 1964 I was gonna pick up had a water filled system...

Your car looks like its in really great condition being that old! I didn't see any body damage other than that rust, but that seemed like minor work. How's the underbody? Inside of the car looks great too for it's age. It should be a pretty easy restore for you.

It's a beauty and looks like an easy fix. I think 2K is very reasonable. A 67 Deville is the first Caddy I ever sat in and I've been hooked ever since. Enjoy.

Looks like a solid car, just needs a little TLC. Which oil depends on where you live. If in the West or Southwest, 10W-30 or 10W-40 will do nicely. If in the Northeast or upper Midwest, you might consider using 5W-30, especially during the colder months. IIRC, an oil change with a new filter should require 5 quarts of oil, 4 quarts without a filter. Good luck with your new baby, and keep us posted on your progress.
