Cadillac DeVille "63 Cadillac"

Drivetrain:
390 V8 (one-year engine--last year for 390 displacement, first year for combo aluminum front cover).  Jetaway dual-coupling four-speed hydramatic.
Chassis:
GM-corporate "X-type" chassis, used on many platforms during the 1960's.  However this car has a front upper a-arm, lower control arm and strut rod, vs. the double-a-arm arrangement on other GM cars at the time.
Wheels & Tires:
15" steels (what else?) and Cadillac brushed stainless hubcaps.
Body:
questionable bodywork done piecemeal over 30-year span, though the color remains original.  Chrome, fender skirts, and glass are all original.
Interior:

Back in those days, Cadillac had so many build combinations that it is rare to see two cars with the same interior trim and color.  Mine is the DeVille 62-series baby-blue leather/brocade combination


This six-window Sedan DeVille is my first car, which my dad bought for me off a street corner in 1987.  We worked on it...

Front 3/4

The slab-like low body lines & hard top make this car great for slow cruising.

Rear 3/4

With Oxidation removed.

Front View

The most classic view (in my opinion) of this model year.

Engine after storage

Had some webs, dust, sludge collected. But started and ran!

Low Fins

63 was the second-to-last year for fins. 64 model year fins were even lower.

Interior after Storage

The rear brocade/leather was intact, but not very usable. The front seat was just plain hosed.
