- Years ago, Cadillac was the standout flagship of the GM Conglomerate. Even though they still say they are, they are becoming more and more mainstream and trying to compete with the luxury sport market, and not the luxury car market. Even in the 90's, Cadillac was a mark above your Buicks and Oldsmobiles. They hardly shared switchgear with other brands, and usually had their own interiors that were completely different. Here, with this DeVille, we take a look at how Cadillac used to be!

Those cars are very beautiful and it’s a dream car of mine.
the smoothest ride you can have, and the seats too comfortable for a car
I had one of these in white 1997, my dad signed it over to me when he became to old to drive anymore, i really enjoyed driving it and taking my dad around where he need to go, then in 2014 he sadly passed away and shortly after gas prices hit the roof, and filling a car with Northstar 32 V-8 became difficult, So i was forced to part with the old gal, for a more affordable Mazda 3, this video reminds me of times going for a ride with dad....
I have an 01 Deville. When they were NEW they did 28mpg highway. Mine gets like 24 😂😂. The newer Northstars are definitely more fuel efficient than the early ones.
I saw this car on Craigslist for a very affordable price. I currently own a 2015 Nissan Versa and looking for something bigger to tow my bike 🏍. Not to concerned about gas prices..the luxury and comfort worth it.
Dude imagine the gas prices now in 2022 😥
I crazily like this caaaaar! If Just i could fly to the US right now, buy One of these and drive all-around-da-freaking-country!
Fun fact the D'Elegance trim used to adorn the Fleetwood model
My wife's grandfather just gave us a 1999 DeVille D'elegance that was her late grandmother's car. It has 114,500 miles on it and is in excellent condition. In the short time we've had it, I have fallen in love with the car. It is a living room on wheels. Too bad the big land yachts are becoming extinct.
My favorite car ever. This thing has class
And character.
Yes it does.
I live in Italy, have a Ferrari and two Mercedeses but have always had a weak spot for Cadillac. Every time I come to the States I rent one, preferably an XTS or CT6. Real classic long distance motoring in style. :-)
I want one of these so bad!
Great car.👍🇺🇸
which was longer the deville or fleetwood of this era? which rode smoother?
The DeVille business model was 2 inches longer and featured rear passenger foot rests and a fold down lap desk on each side.
Very nice car except for the death star engine and that donut spare come on GM it's a Cadillac. You can fit a lot of bodies in that trunk
Nice :)
I owned a 1995 Deville. It had the 4.9 liter V8 engine. It only had 200 horsepower, but it was a engine that was so much more reliable than the engine that became the standard power plant in 1996. It was a great car.
The 4.9 was standard for 1995
Only the Concours trim of the DeVille got the Northstar until 1996
Charlie I missed typed, thank you ever so much for the good catch.
Nice Car and a Thumbs Up Liked for you.
+bluesharp59 Thank you!!

Hermoso carro me interesa esta disponible ?
Classic✌️
D'Cadillac D'DeVille D'Elegance
The real land yachts were the Fleetwood, especially the coachbuilt 99 Fleetwood.
That's a motorhome
@@colec.6477 lol
Nice ride with nice miles 78K I own 2 Cadillac's 1997 D'Elegance 1998 Concours. 1997 has 82K and the 1998 has 138K
God I miss my 97 D' Elegance so bad
Why'd you sell it?
How good are these cars
Классная тачка! Балдею от девиля! Сколько такая машина в таком состоянии стоит в США? Какой это год выпуска?
Yoooo lo quiero Amigo vendemelo siii
Northstar LD8
The L37 is the 300 horsepower engine
What is the main difference between the the Deville and the D'elegance?
The delegance had more features, like the mirrors in the rear. It also had gold emblems and a gold hood ornament. But otherwise there the same.
Just hear me out: Perhaps some people don't like the faux convertible on this Cadillac but I mean...Cadillac had a thing going on. Some how...I like these Cadillac Deville with the Faux convertible..
I bought a 1995 Oldsmobile 98 instead. Better styling and an all iron [heads, block and crank] 3800 Series II engine. Reliable and adequate power.
+Sean Bailey Nice! I really like those as well. Very comfortable and well built cars. They look nice as well. And, you cannot go wrong with the 3800!!
@@NeighborhoodCarReviews Thank you for the reply! I did consider the DeVille, but am completely happy with the 98. I also have a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with the 3800. Those engines with outlast me!
@srthellcat707 My other car is a supercharged Pontiac. No engine problems aside from easily repairable oil leaks. I don't have much faith in aluminum engines.
222F coolant that headgasket is weak
Yup, 105°C is way too hot. On my cars (Ferrari and two Mercedes) the thermostat is set at 85°C.
0-60 might be slower, but that’s only because of the tall gearing.
Drop a 9 speed auto off in it and it should haul to 60 in less than 7 seconds
L37? that car, the D'Elegance has the LD8
Alignment is way off plus the dash is flickering
Alignment yes, dash doesn’t actually flicker. It’s the contrast between the refresh rate of my camera clashing with the refresh rate of the LCD display. In reality, there’s nothing wrong with the display. The alignment left a lot to be desired!
The car needs a alinement.
You’re not kidding.
WOW! Do you really call this a land yacht of the 90s? So then what is a Lincoln Town car that's 2 ft longer and at least 6 in wider than this car this is a midsize car not a land yacht and I do believe the 4.9 is the one that's blowing head gaskets like you blow your nose and it basically become worthless still a pretty car wouldn't have it
Steering is totally out of alignment.
+Garrett Dodson Oh man. You’re not joking! It was pretty bad, but I really wanted to review it, since overall, it was really a nice car. Steering was pretty bad, and I thing the head gasket was going as well. Coolant temp was a bit higher than the normal 195°.
Love the clowns who have NO taste or appreciation for class who put UGLY bw tires on these cars.
Its actually getting harder to find decent white walls in some sizes these days. I have a 94 Cadillac Fleetwood and there were only 2 whitewall tire brands readily available. Some cheap tire with questionable reviews, and a vogue tire that cost over $200 per tire. I daily my car so I want a quality tire, but black walls just arent right so I had to get a white letter General Altimax RT43. Not sure about this deville though and whats available for it.
Nothing wrong with putting rims on
But north stars are garbage picked on up for 2k with 30k on it engine blew up at 56k
Land Yacht? More like a dingy. Not even as big as a 1964 Galaxie or Impala, which were STANDARD sized cars back in the day.
“Land Yacht of the 1990’s” is what the title reads. Not Land Yacht of the 1960’s.
@@NeighborhoodCarReviews Okay, then I would have to go with the 1993-1996 Fleetwood. Bigger and a MUCH better car.
I have yet to find one. Found a Buick Roadmaster, but not the Fleetwood. Would love to, though.
@@NeighborhoodCarReviews The 1994 to 1996 Roadmasters, especially the Limited are quite excellent. I prefer the 1994 because their seats are more comfortable (talking Limited here, the standard have the same seats every year). But yeah, the 1994 to 1996 Fleetwoods are something else again. And if you get the towing package you got yourself a car that can run with the Impala SS.
