1995 Cadillac Deville problems
The Cadillac DeVille is a model name used by Cadillac over eight generations, originally used to designate a trim level of the 1949 Cadillac Series 62 and later to designate a standalone model in the brand range. The last model marketed specifically as a DeVille was the 2005 full-size sedan, at the time, Cadillac's largest model.
For 2006, the Deville nameplate was retired, when the model line was carried forward (with minor revisions) as the Cadillac DTS, using a nomenclature adopted by the Cadillac STS and CTS.
Early history
The name "DeVille" is derived from the French de la ville or de ville meaning "of the town". In French coach building parlance, a coupé de ville, from the French couper (to cut) i.e. shorten or reduce, was a short four-wheeled closed carriage with an inside seat for two and an outside seat for the driver and this smaller vehicle was intended for use in the town or city (de ville). An (unshortened) limousine or (in the United States) town car has a division between the passenger and driver compartments and if the driver's seat is outside it may be called a sedanca de ville or town car.
The first Cadillac "Coupe de Ville" was shown during the 1949 Motorama. It was built on a Cadillac Sixty Special chassis and featured a dummy air-scoop, chrome trim around front wheel openings, and a one-piece windshield and rear glass. The interior was black and trimmed in gray leather, including the headliner, to match the roof color. It was equipped with a telephone in the glove compartment, a vanity case and a secretarial pad in the rear armrest, power windows and highly decorative chrome interior trim. The prototype "Coupe de Ville" was used by GM President Charles E. Wilson until 1957 when he presented it to his secretary. At some time during this period it acquired a dark Vicodec roof. The prototype "Coupe de Ville" was found and restored in the 2010s; it was in a private collection in London, Ontario, Canada as of 2017.
The Cadillac Series 62 Coupe de Ville was introduced late in the 1949 model year. Along with the Buick Roadmaster Riviera, and the Oldsmobile 98 Holiday, it was among the first pillarless hardtop coupes ever produced. At US$3,496 ($44,768 in 2023 dollars ) it was only a dollar less than the Series 62 convertible, and like the convertible, it came with power windows standard. It was luxuriously trimmed, with leather upholstery and chrome 'bows' in the headliner to simulate the ribs of a convertible top. In its first year the Series 62 Coupe de Ville only sold 2,150 units. But 1950 sales more than doubled to 4507, and in 1951 sales more than doubled again to 10,241 exceeding the sales for the Series 62 Club Coupe that year. Also, in 1951, Coupe de Ville chrome script appeared on the rear roof pillar for the first time, to further distinguish it from the Series 62 Club Coupe.
In 1956 the Series 62 Coupe de Ville was joined by the Series 62 Sedan de Ville, Cadillac's first standard production 4-door hardtop. Similarly to the Coupe de Ville, it was also more expensive and more luxuriously trimmed than the standard 4-door Series 62. With 41,732 sold, it also easily outsold the Series 62 sedan in its very first year. Given their sales success, it was only natural that the Coupe de Ville and Sedan de Ville were moved to their own separate series in 1959, the Series 6300, being joined by a DeVille convertible in 1964.

Positive 1995 Cadillac Deville car reviews

Luxury, style, performance, and reliability all in one! The power sun/moon roof is delightful, and the eleven-speaker audio system is unbeatable. With all the features one could ever want, including 8-10 way adjustable seating and so much leg room, this car is perfect for long trips. The leather interior is so comfortable, it will be hard to trade it in someday. What a great road car!
-
Great ride and handling. Needed some work, but worth every dime.
-
Your 1995 Cadillac DeVille sounds like a fantastic car! It's great to hear that you've never had any issues with it and that it gets good gas mileage despite having a big V8 engine. Additionally, the car's comfortable interior and stylish design make it a great choice. Thanks for sharing your positive experience with us!
-
Bought this car new, had a few problems during the warranty period, but none since. It's a great comfortable cruiser, quietly powerful. My wife and I love it for short trips, and even more for long trips. So far, we've only had to put on new brakes and tires. It's a wonderful car!
-
I'm glad you bought it in nice shape, even with 78k miles. It's unfortunate that you had to replace the air suspension (struts) and starter engine, but I'm happy to hear that it's been fun to ride since then. The Towncar is one of the few real American Cars left, and with front-wheel drive, it's safe enough for Cleveland winters. I agree that the controls for A/C could be better, and the performance of the 4.9ltr 200hp engine could be improved, but heating and cooling is fast, and this is a car for cruising anyway. It's roomy, safe, and comfy, and I appreciate that it doesn't have the flat trunk or front-wheel drive that some other cars have.

Are you having problems with your 1995 Cadillac Deville?
Brad Hegmann 2024-11-16
This car has more power than I am used to, but it rides great on the open road. However, it can be difficult to maneuver in an urban setting. It seems like this car is built for larger people, which unfortunately doesn't include someone my size.
Manuela Howe 2024-07-08
Although this car has had its fair share of issues, I have managed to keep it running for many years. While it may not be the fastest or most fuel-efficient car on the road, it has served me well. Despite its size and weight, I have been able to maintain it with regular visits to the mechanic. While other cars may pass me by, I am confident in my choice to stick with this one. The paint job may not be perfect, but it has character and tells a story of the car's journey. Overall, I am satisfied with my decision to keep this car and make the most of it.
Durward Walter 2024-06-09
From 1991 to 1997, Cadillac had a bad crankshaft. The motors would only last 100,000 miles. Unfortunately, I bought two of their cars and also had to replace two motors, and have since replaced one of those. I have decided to explore other car brands in the future.
