Believe it or not, but there was a time when Cadillac was the premier brand not only in the United States, but in the world. Their cars were hand crafted, interiors hand stitched and owning one meant that you had officially made it to the big time. It wasn’t until the mid-1970′s until their image began to get tarnished due to shoddy workmanship, emissions and government regulations. Nowadays Cadillac is back in the saddle with some amazing models, but the one you see here, the 1966 Cadillac DeVille, takes us back to a time when these road beasts still roamed the streets. The 1966 DeVille was powered by a 429 cubic-inch V8 that made around 340 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. It ran a 3-speed transmission and cruised down the open road like you were riding on a cloud. Inside there was real room for 6 adults and a trunk that would hold the contents of a New York City apartment. In short, these cars were big, beautiful and made in a time when Cadillac was still the King of the road. Long live the King…
