This amazing 1973 Cadillac Coupe DeVille only has 35,868 original miles and is a documented two owner survivor. 1973 was a good year to be in the automobile business, as the US automobile industry broke all previous production and sales records with Cadillac shattering production records it had set just the year before. In 1973, the Coupe DeVille overtook the Sedan DeVille as Cadillac’s most popular model which made the Coupe DeVille the world’s most popular luxury car. This information is fully documented on the original title which is included. This car was Karen’s prized possession and she only used it sparingly. It was always treated with the best of care and garaged its entire life. Unfortunately, Karen passed in 2012. Allen and his children decided it made sense to sell the car. On August 27th, 2015 they sold the car to Michael J. Lobalbo who at the time lived in Stamford, Connecticut. As indicated on the title the car had 34,189 miles at the time of the sale. Michael understood the significance of this car and also treated it with the best of care. During Mike’s time of ownership he completed some routine service work and drove it on special occasions. Mike decided to sell the car after 8 years of ownership.
The exterior of this car is in excellent original condition throughout. It was properly stored over the last 50 years which is evident with the condition. It retains 100% of its original Diplomat Blue paint which was electronically paint metered by MS CLASSIC CARS. This color is absolutely beautiful especially in direct sunlight. The paint was recently detailed to a show quality shine. The paint only has a few minor imperfections such as some small chips that were touched up on the front end. The car sports its original white vinyl top which is in excellent condition and a white pinstripe which highlights the bodyline. The blue and white colors are very complementary. It retains its entire original factory stamped glass which is in excellent condition. The car sits on the original 15” steel wheels with hub caps. The wheels are wrapped with Dimension IV Whitewall 235-75-15 tires.
The interior of this car is also in excellent original condition throughout. It truly appears factory fresh in appearance from top to bottom. It also smells very fresh which a reflection of how it was stored. The white headliner is still tight and the sun visors stay up. The blue dash pad is dressed with simulated wood trim which looks rich. The blue steering wheel is wrapped with a steering wheel cover and hasn’t be removed in years for obvious reasons. The white door panels with grab handles were also dressed with simulated wood trim on the top and carpeting on the bottom. The driver’s door has wiper controls, power mirror controls, power locks and power windows. The passenger door has power locks and power windows. The front bench seat and rear seat is upholstered in white leather which is in excellent condition with very little signs of wear. The front seat is power operated. The blue seat belts and carpeting matches the dash perfectly. It retains the original rubber floor mats which have faded over the last 50 years so they weren’t used for the interior photos. Everything in the interior is in working order such as the radio, cruise control and air conditioning with exception of the clock. Yes, the factory air conditioning blows cold! The trunk compartment is also in excellent original condition throughout. The crisp carpeting is outfitted with the factory rubber trunk mat. It’s equipped with the original Goodyear L78- 15 whitewall spare and jack tools.
The engine compartment is in original condition throughout and very clean. There has been no paint work or restoration work performed in this engine bay. The car is powered by the original 472 V8 which was factory rated with 345hp. This engine has never been out of the car and runs excellent. The original blue paint on the engine and valve covers has the perfect amount of patina. The black air cleaner houses the Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrell carburetor. It still retains the factory stickers on the radiator support. The variable-ratio power steering works great. The engine breathes through the original factory manifolds and single exhaust system. The engine is coupled to the original Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission which shifts very smoothly.
The undercarriage is also in original condition throughout and very clean. The underside was uncoated when it was new to prevent rust. It still retains factory paint markings on the rear end housing, driveshaft and some suspension components.

That car just took my breath away . Beyond words !!
Magnificent! The condition of that White Leather Interior is sumptuous! One can see why, "More than ever . . . America's Number One Luxury Car!"
This was my first car! I bought it from my Grandparents when I was 15 years old for $500.00 in 1987. They had bought it new in 1973. Great car! I wish that I still had it.

I am right there with you as I got my grandfather's 73 Coupe in 1978 when I turned 16. He went to trade it in on a 78 Sedan deVille and didn't like what the dealer offered on trade, so it became mine. Those were awesome cars. and I am very fortunate to have had one. Back then, I was probably the only kid and certainly the first driver of that car that dutifully wore the lap and separate shoulder belts when I drove. My grandfather rode with me many times and thought it was complete nonsense that I buckled up, especially the shoulder belt, but he would wear the lap belt just to appease me. Aside from the obvious safety aspect, I found that being buckled up gave me a better feeling of how the car drove and handled. Safety and an enhanced driving experience, it was a no-brainer for me buckle up. Good thing that I did. I was coming home one weekend from college when a drunk driver in a Chevrolet Suburban crossed the center line and hit me head on. Due to the size and quality of the car along with the lap and shoulder belts I walked away with very minor cuts and scrapes. The worst reminders of the crash were the dark purple bruises across my abdomen and chest from the belts that lasted for several weeks. However, that was nothing compared to the un-belted drunk driver. His face and chest slammed into the steering wheel and dash causing massive injuries. That Cadillac along with wearing the seat belts most likely saved my life that night.

Same here, but in 86. Had that car till 03. Junked as I was starting my 75s restoration and didn't think I should keep her. Sadly, the 75s restoration went sideways and wished I hadn't gotten rid of the 73.
Beautiful car
Now that's a real Cadillac not the junk you see

Awesome, clean original car! But I could do without the annoying music. Narration, description or just plain silence would be preferred. But nice survivor!.

That's what that mute button is for. The music is there for those who like it, and the mute button is there for those who don't. Personally I prefer Narration.

@@davidjoe3368 The only problem with the mute button, is if narration is intermittent, you miss out on it wit sound muted. I agree, I prefer narration or just plain machine sounds. Happy New Year to you!😊
Great Tuxedo colour scheme!
Hello. I have a 1973 Coupe de Ville as well. I am trying to change the tail light and the bulb broke . It is probably the original bulb. Myncar only has 43,000 miles on it. Can you give me some advise on how to get the bulb stem out of the socket?
Beautiful car!
Now THAT’S a real car. This crap they sell nowadays will never compare, or be around in 50 or 60 years! Love this car, but HATED the music! Why do all these videos have to be mind-melting rock? Something soothing like jazz or easy, listening music would be more comparable for a car like this. This car is elegant and deserves elegant music. If you were showing a hot rod, then you play the headbanging metal.
That was a time you could put bodies in the trunk..
Super love it
I had a 73 it was light blue with the nyline interior i put a 84 caddy casstet deck look so good then this one needs the hood oredement other than that its a clean clean 73 3:45
