1961 Cadillac DeVille Hardtop – California Original, Iconic Style, and Timeless Luxury
A stunning example of early 1960s American luxury, this 1961 Cadillac DeVille Hardtop embodies everything that made Cadillac the standard of the world. Originally finished in Aleutian Gray with Nevada Silver Metallic accents, this car now wears an elegant white finish that highlights its signature tailfins, sweeping lines, and gleaming chrome trim.
This California car presents beautifully throughout, showing the care of long-term ownership and accompanied by some maintenance receipts. The original black plate adds to its provenance and vintage appeal.
Under the hood lies Cadillac’s legendary 390 cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carburetor, paired to a smooth 3 speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Power steering and power brakes make for effortless cruising, while the coil spring suspension front and rear delivers the plush ride quality Cadillac was known for.
The car rides on steel wheels with full hubcaps and whitewall tires, including a full-size spare in the trunk.
Inside, the cabin is finished in black leather with matching carpets, featuring a bench front seat and rear armrest, power windows, 6-way power seats, and factory air conditioning—luxuries few cars of the era could match. The AM/FM radio and crisp interior details evoke a true sense of 1960s sophistication.
A wonderful opportunity to own a true California-bred classic Cadillac, ideal for cruising, showing, or adding to any collection of fine American automobiles.
