From Classic to Icon

Some rides just get you from A to B.

This one? It gets you noticed.

This 1988 Cadillac DeVille isn’t just a car—it’s a rolling statement. A declaration of timeless cool. A salute to true American luxury. A crown jewel from an era when Cadillac meant everything—and this one still does.

We didn’t pull this out of a barn and slap on paint. This is a fully documented, meticulously maintained machine that’s been loved, preserved, and protected for more than three decades.

It’s not a project.

It’s a performance piece.

A Legacy Reborn

Some cars get you there.

This one announces your arrival.

This 1988 DeVille is more than a classic—it’s a one-owner icon. Garage-kept since day one. Dealership-maintained. Handed down with care and intention, from mother to daughter.

Originally purchased in 1988 from an iconic Cadillac dealership in Daytona Beach, Florida, this DeVille has lived its entire life under one roof. No auctions. No salvage. No second chances—because it never needed one.

In 2024, at age 90, the original owner transferred the title to her daughter. Now, for the first time, it’s available to someone who understands what this car really is:

Not transportation.

A moment. A memory. A move.

Built for the Spotlight

Whether you’re pulling up to the studio or lining up the perfect shot for a music video, this DeVille brings the heat. The look. The lines. The glide. It turns heads everywhere it goes.

The Body – Long, clean, unapologetic Cadillac lines. All original.

The Interior – American luxury at its peak—room to lean back and rule the road.

The Pedigree – Clean title. Full records. Over 30 years of verified care.

The Vibe – These Caddys are back. Not replicas. Not kits. The real deal.

This is Detroit soul meets Daytona Beach grace—reborn for today’s streets.

Made for Music, Movies & Movement

True one-owner legacy

Garage-kept since 1988

Dealership-maintained from day one

Perfect for music videos, shoots, or collectors

Original. Original paint. Original interior. Original spirit.

This Cadillac doesn’t just look the part—it is the part.

From the elegant body lines to the untouched dash, from soft leather seats to that buttery 4.5L V8 rumble—this DeVille holds presence under studio lights and owns the street with authority.

What’s Under the Hood?

Nothing but love.

Over 30 years of documented mechanical care, including:

Engine tuned and preserved (4.5L V8)

Lifetime struts installed

Full brake overhaul

Cooling, ignition, power steering—all serviced

Transmission & torque converter flushed and dialed in

Electrical and wiring work with precision

From bumper to bumper—she’s ready.

Make It Yours

Not because of what it was—

But because of what it still is.

This isn’t a project.

It’s a time capsule.

You’re not just buying a car.

You’re stepping into a story.

This DeVille isn’t sitting in a lot waiting on lowball offers.

It’s sitting in the spotlight—waiting for someone who gets the vibe.

It’s rare.

It’s original.

It’s unapologetically bold.

Who Should Buy This Car

Music video directors looking for the shot that slaps

Collectors who crave late ‘80s urban royalty aesthetic

Artists who want a real-deal, ride-out whip that speaks for itself

Investors chasing culture value, street credibility, and rising market love

Final Word

This 1988 DeVille is Detroit steel wrapped in Daytona Beach grace—still carrying the quiet class of the woman who bought it new, and the swagger to shut down any street in 2025.

Own the legacy.

Write the next verse.

If you’re looking for a budget classic, this ain’t it.

If you’re looking for a legend with legacy, welcome to the driver’s seat.
