| The
early Coupe DeVilles are best known for their dramatic
styling. It had fins by the rear tail lights and
chrome bows in the headliner that was intended to
simulate the appearance of a convertible top. There
was not a convertible version of the early models.
Sales were great, anyway, doubling in 1950 compared
to 1949 numbers. The car also got bigger through
the years. By the 1970's, the car was a beast. The
1973 model was 17 inches longer than the original
from 1949, 900 pounds heavier, and it had a monster
472 cubic inch V8 engine. It would get smaller at
the end of that decade, and would get front wheel
drive for the first time in 1985. The popularity
of full-size luxury cars continued to decline, and
the car was discontinued in 1993. They can still
be found on the used car market, and parts are widely
available on eBay. |
