An impressive blend of power, with the revered Northstar V8, and a presence that is as sophisticated on the inside as it is on the outside. From the 2004 sales brochure.  For consignment, a 2004 Cadillac Deville 4 door sedan with a title verified 68,681 actual miles. This is a garage kept, one owner beauty and according to our consignor, has only been hand washed! So far, it checks all the boxes!  Exterior This big bodied Caddy takes its cues from Cadillacs of the past and blends them into rounded edges while keeping its proud, boxy style in Crimson Pearl paint. A statement is made by the large flush headlights which look like twin ice sculptures that flank the eggcrate grille. The color keyed bumper cover is underscored by an intake grid that spans the width, while a hood ornament, by 2004 a fading feature, stands proudly on the expanse of the hood. Out back, a modern tail for 2004 includes flush mounted tail lights that almost disappear in the crimson paint, an overarching third brake light on the deck lid, and quad exhaust tip under a smooth rear bumper cover. In profile, the long overhang underscores a large trunk while the big car has a nose down stance to cut through the wind. 16-inch chrome wheels are handsome attributes, here with 60 series tires that have an early 2021 date code. Imperfections include some scratches, chips including those that are touched up, dampness behind a headlight lens, minor scratches, some pitting on the wheels, paint run under the side molding, a rust bubble on the bottom edge, various scuffs throughout, and some chin scrapes and damage.  Interior Traditional wood trim, simulated in this instance, adorns the Shale and beige door panels, sculpted together is an artistic expression that's clean and efficient. Beige leather bucket seats are generously cushioned and tufted in the center with a switch panel that is perfectly matched in color. There's some wear on the driver's point of entry, but all other seats, including the luxurious rear bench, are in fine shape. The shale steering wheel fronts a digital dash which of course, lights up in digital green. The simulated wood surrounds the cluster and spans the width of the dash while dark gray plastic switches control the climate and AM/FM/CD in the center stack. Beige carpet covers the floor nicely and the foam backed headliner and is accompanied by a sunroof and overhead console. The trunk does not fail to impress, it's large and finished in gray panels ready to take on your golf clubs or largest of your Louis Vuitton bags.   Drivetrain Big plastic shields were coming into their own in 2004 and showed up on this clean engine, a 4.6 liter Northstar V8 rated at 275 horsepower and mated to a 4T80E 4-speed automatic transmission. This engine is transverse mounted and provides power to the front wheels and 3.11 gears.  Undercarriage Overall is very nice and clean condition with some typical surface rust and metal oxidation. The single exhaust runs down a central tunnel then splits to enter original mufflers, finally exiting through oval chrome tips. Four wheel power disc brakes are on board and the fully independent suspension includes Macpherson struts in front and coil springs in back.   Drive-Ability This massive lap of luxury provides a smooth, floaty ride that Cadillac devotees have come to expect, and the V8 provides plenty of power for lavish cruising and highway treks. All functions in this carefully cared for example operate as intended and while we'd love to spend our lunch break in this cabin, it's time to get it on the showroom floor.
