Description / Overview:

A classic mid‑1950s American luxury coupe from Cadillac’s iconic DeVille range. Known for its bold styling, chrome detailing and powerful V8 engines, the 1956 DeVille represents the pinnacle of post‑war American automotive design and luxury.

The vehicle has undergone extensive refurbishment including mechanical, suspension and cosmetic improvements. The car has been repainted in its original colour scheme and is reported to present very well with strong paintwork and chrome.
