Loved these Cadillac years😊😊😊😊

People who weren't around in the days when these cars were on the road don't know how comfortable these rides were. You felt like you were on a boat in the water. Passengers could easily nap in these cruisers.

Stunning .. would be a great date night or daily driver really

These cars were so much fun to drive back then! I was a young college boy but still loved these land yachts where all the bumps were smoothed out. Nothing like my SUV now. Best wishes from the Houston-Galveston area!

When I sold cars I told my customers there are cars , then there are automobiles , these were automobiles!

Excellent color for a Caddy.

And exceptionally nice example and wonderful condition. But one thing I know for a fact those are the 71 through 72 hubcaps. They were not offered in 73. They were a solid dish and spokes were gone and it's got aftermarket floor mats

Yes!!! I saw that too! But I love them still! But yea… I’m favoring the flat dish caps for sure! And another thing that may sound odd…. But the windshield wiper metal arms are original …. That’s big to me. I hate modern looking wipers on a vintage car. They look so outta place when changed. That vinyl top is a collectors dream!!!

That color is classy.

My buddy had the same 73 with the same paint n interior. Miss that car!

All original except the wheel covers and floor mats. But, it's still a beautiful car and in excellent condition. I'd take it !!! Brings back memories. My parents brought a '73 Sedan de Ville brand new. Specially ordered in a lovely gold color, black vinyl top, with maize color leather interior. Had all the Caddy factory options including some rare ones like Twilight Sentinel and Guide Matic lights, 8 track player, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, sunroof, outside thermometer, and lighted vanity mirror. I don't remember exactly what it cost, but it served us well and my parents kept it until it was traded in for a new '77 Fleetwood Brougham, which was also a beautiful car.

I have the exact same car. Except mine has original hubcaps and wheels covers. Top is in perfect condition. Mine has the original sun roof. Limited slip rear end. Full leather no printed fabric. Outside Thermostats on the side mirrors. Original Window sticker says just over $10,700. delivery papers and maintenance records. Was delivered to Anchorage, Ak and then trailered up to Fairbanks, Ak. Fun car.

Thermometers on the mirrors, not thermostats

Makes me miss my ‘73 Fleetwood with rich brown leather. Car was Rootbeer Brown with a Cream Vinyl Top and all the goodies. I spent in 1978 $70 a week in gas. As a 17 year old I lived in the car when I wasn’t working which was almost 60 miles round trip daily. As Gas went over $1 a gallong in 1980 I decided to trade for a new car and let the old gas money I spent pay for the new car. Didn’t work out that way.

What an elegant vehicle. I wish I could rent one.

Seeing these cars it just reminds me of the mob lol they loved these cars.

What a beautiful piece

Had one in late '84, it was at least that nice. I paid $1200 for it. I purchased it from the original owners. Had 62 or 64 k on the odometer. I replaced the belts, hoses, tuned it up and the alternator was going out so I replaced it. Best used car I ever owned. 27 gallon tank, gas was .86 a gallon. 😂

Just gorgeous!

Makes me.miss my 1979 Sedan De Ville. 10.6 MPG intown and 16.7 MPG on the highway. Like riding on a cloud.

Dad had a blue one. Damn, that thing was nice on the highway. It produced an insane amount of heat, however.

1973 was a record year for Cadillac. 1973 was also the year that our standard of living in the United States peaked.

Great color coordination!

I have just like this car with a white exterior and red interior. Driving it feels like you’re in an aircraft carrier.

I learned to drive in one of these in 1976. My first car was a '67 R/S Camaro, but wanted mom's Cadillac.

We ceramic coat them

I wondered if a ceramic coating can be applied over 1 stage laquer paint. I thought about trying that on a test area of one of my Cadillac's but I was a bit leery about doing that. One bad thing about lacquer is it gets paint checking so would the coating mask it or highlight it more? Mmmm I can just smell the carbon monoxide coming out of the exhaust. Mafia cars were great for that feature before the cat converter. One just never knew when you would need some monoxide.
