I bought my first “classic” road test compilation magazine at the drug store when I was eight years old; it was a “best of” collection of Hot Rod drag tests from the muscle-car era, and I read the words off the proverbial page. Since then, I’ve collected as many road tests (in original and compiled form) as I could get my hands on, and that’s how I know at one glance that this 1965 Cadillac Sedan DeVille was a big deal. Cadillac called it “the most extensive model change in the history of Cadillac – in both styling and engineering,” and while copywritten hyperbole is the name of the game in marketing departments, the ’65 was “new from the ground up,” as they so often say. This “driver quality” Sedan DeVille is being offered for sale (for $13,500) on Marketplace in Alna, Maine, and was brought to us by Barn Finds reader Bruce M. Thanks, Bruce.
The most obvious change for 1965 was completely new styling, and all media outlets made the same observation. Motor Trend said that “the most significant styling change for 1965 is that the famous fins, which have adorned Cadillacs for 17 years, have receded into the rear fender line.” I’ve always felt that the fins were simply leveled out rather than eliminated; after all, what are the pointy objects protruding past the trunk lid in the picture above? But that’s semantics. Perhaps more important was the completely new perimeter frame that helped to save roughly 300 pounds over the 1964 model. Plenty of GMs made that change for 1965, as bodies took more of the structural load and frames became a little less beefy. As many noted, however, even though it was an all-new car, a Cadillac still looked exactly as a Cadillac should; it would never be mistaken for anything else.
The Sedan DeVille was available as a four-door sedan and a four-door hardtop; this car is a sedan, which was handily outsold by the hardtop (45,535 to 15,000). Being a Maine car, it’s not surprising that this Cadillac does not have air conditioning (the “Comfort Control” feature was an automatic climate control system that road testers praised highly). Unfortunately, there are no pictures of the engine compartment, where a 429-cubic-inch V8 makes its 340 horsepower. The big Cadillac could accelerate to sixty in under 10 seconds and achieve a top speed of around 115 miles per hour, which was perhaps the quietest top speed in the industry.
I’m not sure that the dashboard gets enough credit for its styling. The coved “knee” cutout in the passenger compartment and the huge, polished retractable ashtrays are nice styling touches, as is the surprisingly sporty three-spoke steering wheel. Power windows were standard on the Deville, and you can see them here. Notice how rust-free the door bottoms are.
The seller says that this is a 91,000-mile example with “zero rust on or under car,” which makes sense. Cadillacs tended to receive better maintenance when new, and it’s not surprising to see that a fair number have survived their youth intact. There’s always a rub, however, and the DeVille’s might be its “so-so repaint in [its] original color.” If you are anywhere near Alna, Maine, and you are interested in Cadillacs, this one might be worth the drive to check out that paint job. After all, a 1965 Cadillac is just as impressive now as it was then.
What a big beast of a Cadillac, as they should be. Sounds like an awesome collection of Road Tests there Toth. 😎
They make for such great reading. 📖
It’s funny the things you remember, a teacher in elementary school had a ’65 Sedan Deville in black, I got sick and she took me home in it. When I saw the underhood shot of it I spotted the extra horns, I forgot about the extra toned horns Cadillacs had back then. She blew the horn to say hi whenever she drove past. I loves that horn. Even the horn shouted Cadillac!!!
My ’65 had the optional Eldorado horn too, and it sounded like the 11:05 to Pittsburgh until that horn quit.
The size of that trunk!!! The mob could stuff a month’s worth of hits in there!
Sorry folks, all I can say is Oh my God
I want it!!! Had a ’66 Calais 4 door hardtop which I loved. And since this is a ’65 it’s just as nice so I’ll settle for
this one but my bank account says “Uh uh no way.”. The car looks great, but the stuff they pour on the roads in
Maine can rust an oak tree. And that’s what makes me a bit Leary of
the rust that might lurk somewhere
on or in the car so I’d say get it up on a lift and look it over good before you
plunk down 13K of your hard earned
money. Other than that, oh my God I
want it! .
While A/C wasn’t “standard” in 1965 (I was there) like it is in todays fluffmobiles, and this was Maine, I couldn’t imagine purchasing one of the great luxury cruisers of the day without it. Unless, of course, you were like my father. In 1971, he finally relented and bought mom our 68 Satellite wagon with A/C, which made her very happy until our next summer vacation trip when she realized he had removed the a/c belt. Hell hath no fury……….
Just checking. I couldn’t successfully Post a response to a previous comment. Check later.
I love it — very classic Cadillac — but, no A/C, and about 13 m.p.g.? — I think not; sorry…
Me either. (The ’65 Caddy post.)
I believe the 3-spoke steering wheel was included with the new tilt/telescope option. The telescope feature operated via the steering wheel hub. Twist the hub to unlock, adjust the wheel, twist the hub to lock.
The 1965 Cadillac was my very first Cadillac when I was 16 years old. I had it for 12 years. I had several after that the same year even adding a crystal chandelier to one. I really like the big ashtrays in the middle always took them out and put control panels in or gauges. I easily added an extra battery in the other side. Later I had a third battery, 2 alternators and over 186 lights! Unfortunately, no LEDs back then, just imagine if there were! I was very popular with the police. I could hardly go around the block with out the Hbg, Paxtang or State police stopping me.It was really nice Cadillac and lots of room and tons of power
I miss the REAL Cadillacs!
What a beautiful car. A true sedan deVille rather than a hardtop. I’d love to lower the windows and hit the road.
Sometime in high school we were shown a movie about the development of the all new GM full size cars. Inside look at the tech center and proving ground. I can’t speak for everyone but I was mesmerized.
I would love to find that video!
Right. I would, too. It was already ten years old when I saw it fifty years ago.
TCK, I’m going to take a risk here and say this is a Calis. Nowhere on this car does it say Sedan de Ville. Plus, don’t quote me, but I believe the Calis had the curve on the rear door window and the post between the doors whereas the de Ville didnt.
This is very close to the car used in the movie “Driving Miss Daisy”.
She had the black Chrysler, then the maroon Hudson, black ’55 Cadillac, dark gray ’65 Cadillac & finally a white ’70 Cadillac.
Back in 1972 my 1st real boyfriend, (I was a late bloomer) had a ’67 Ford Mustang convertible and I had a 1972 MG Midget. That Mustang was in terrible shape and he’d always wanted a ’65 Cadillac. He finally found one just like this one. Same color. Being the ahole that he turned out to be he put gangsta whitewalls on it. And not even real ones. The kind you buy at Pep Boys and place over blackwall tires. It looked hideous. I broke up with him very soon after that.
Probably somewhere around 1978 my father had a 1966 Sedan de Ville in black. I actually got to drive that one. But to me the ’65 was prettier than the ’66. The ’65 had chrome around the headlights which made the grill look bigger, the ’66 had painted headlight bezels. The ’65 had huge cornering lights compared to the ’66 smaller ones. The taillights are nicer with out the vertical bar the ’66 had and the biggest difference which Cadillac did with the ’63 & the ’64, the ’65 license plate did not go up into the trunk lid as the ’66 did.
Back when you could find these in junkyards I would always confiscate the trumpet horn from them. Later Cadillac dispensed with the trumpet and used 3 regular horns. My favorite were the “F” “A” & “D” notes.
My 1975 Eldorado however, had the 3 f-a-d horns and a trumpet attatched under the hood. That was a sweet sound.
Hi Mr. Solo 🤗
Angel,
I initially had the same suspicion as you about this being a Calais, not a de Ville. The lack of the Sedan de Ville script on the rear quarter panels is strange, but the interior is definitely de Ville. The Y-shaped pleats in the upholstery and the door armrests that slope upward by the power window controls identify this Cadillac as a Sedan de Ville.
Can you imagine learning to parallel park in this beast?
@LoC
If you learned how to parallel park one of these successfully, you could could parallel park anything on the planet.
To Angel Cadillac Queen Diva: did you happen to notice, in “Driving Miss Daisy”, as she was travelling to Mobile with Hoke, that her Cadillac kept switching between a 1955 and a 1956, and that the ’56 was in terrible need of rear shocks? I am reminded also of this exchange between Daisy and Hoke, just as they were readying to leave:
“Did you get the air-conditioning checked? — I TOLD you to have the air-conditioner checked,”
“Yes, I HAD the air-condition checked — I don’t KNOW what FER — you don’t NEVER let me turn it ON.”
Hey Harrison,
Yes that’s about the only thing that annoyed me about the movie. I know the average noncar person wouldn’t notice and directors & producers count on that but being a car person it drives me crazy. Especially when it’s blatantly obvious. Ever see the movie “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman?” The 1950s original version not the Daryl Hanna remake. The sheriff is driving a 1958 Plymouth station wagon and crashes it. The car explodes (of course it does)and you can clearly see that the exploding car is a 1950 Pontiac station wagon. I mean they don’t even look anything remotely alike.
But in DMD switching back and forth like that drives me crazy. Lots of movies like that.
That stuff drives me crazy to but fortunately, it’s a short trip! LOL
Thanks, but I’m looking for something longer.
@Barrister
You might try a 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood or a 1973 Imperial LeBaron
To Angel Cadillac Queen Diva: I never saw either version of “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman”, but it hardly sounds like the sort of thing that I would go out of my way to see, actually (the title sounds like campy low-budget 1950s science fiction). Other incongruities in “Driving Miss Daisy” that I noticed:
When she looks at her watch, it is a well-worn late 1940s/early 1950s style (most likely Jessica Tandy’s own watch). But Daisy was born in 1876, and women of her generation would either have a long and narrow rectangular style with a polished onyx stone in the middle of the crown and a fancy dial and case, or a wrist watch (gold) that looks like a converted lapel watch, or an actual lapel watch.
Another incongruity: at the Cadillac dealer’s showroom, there were new 1955 Cadillacs on display, but there was a 50-star American flag, and at least one 1956 car of a other make parked outside.
Going further: near the beginning, when Daisy gets a brand new 1948 Hudson, why is Booley driving a 1949 Cadillac Sedanette, and not the 1948 version? And why is the varnish on the wooden piece under the driver’s side window of this “new” Hudson badly worn and in need of refinishing? And why, in the close-up of the Hudson’s hubcap do we see clear evidence of abrasive polishing?
These are the things that come to mind, off-hand. Such nit-pickers, we! (smile) But what is so maddening is, in most respects, that movie went out of its way to be absolutely authentic to the times in which its episodes were set. And I lived through those times, so I know!

Had a ’66 Sedan de Ville and loved it. When rust ended its useful life, we got a ’76, and it was about half as good as the ’66 in every possible way. The ’66 spoiled me, and I never had a yen for a Caddy again.
Awww, Harrison, don’t put down my campy sci-fi ridiculousness. Even the original 50s version was campy but the Daryl Hannah remake (90s?) was way over the top campy. In the original the lead car was a 1958 Imperial Crown convertible. In the remake it was a 1970 Cadillac de Ville convertible.
Can’t be serious all the time!
As for Booleys ’49 Sedanette, as you said you lived through those times so you should know that back then, the bread winner, the man, always had the newer car the top of the line car. That didn’t change until the mid sixties when the wife started getting the better newer car
To Angel Cadillac Queen Diva: I know a (much younger than I) 70-year-old who is right on your wavelength! He buys and endlessly watches every low budget 1950s campy science fiction flick that he can get his hands on! He keeps insisting that I watch them WITH him — but I can take about five minutes, tops, then I’m done. That stuff just isn’t my “vibe”. But I DO like “The Twilight Zone”: it’s one of my “guilty pleasures”. If you have some good 1950s low budget stuff to recommend, I’ll tell him. And the next time I see him, I’ll ask him for his recommendations for you!
Don Draper approved…..
Tear Down Those Drapes! I’m goin to Atlanta! After all Tomorrow IS another Cadillac! Remember Father said, *It’s the Cadillac, Katy Scarlet * ☘Happy St. Patty’s Day ☘. I DID 💋 the Blarney Stone. 😅 🤣
Thease cars were cruise ships of the hiways. Too bad they ars now no longer made except by custom builders. Long live class.
Well, folks, here’s Mister RICK, movin not so quick! A day late and 😲 feelin not so great. Oye what a day by the way. Finally weighing in. As to identify it doesn’t have any rear fender logo. Both De Ville and CALAIS had it. A stripper? Parking would be like 78 Town Cars, navigating a LAND YACHT into a pond. But worth the effort 👌. Yesterday, I had a FLAT (tire) 😅. Don’t go there Angel. No longer willing or able to change it, towed to my friendly repair shop. Actually a good thing, as all four were showing AGE (like how many of us? ) so four new tires, towing, alignment, and labor @ $888.80. BUT, I’m drivin Mr RICK again! No HOKE, but don’t Boolee for me. Like Ardella, I’m gone now.
Angel, someday I hope that we can watch those campy old sci fi flicks together. As for the wagon scene in Attack Of The 50 Woman, I thought the crashed wagon was a ’54 Chevy 210 wagon. I’ve seen that movie a LOT over the last 60 years and I always saw the Chevy. If you wanna see a lot of great old cars and campy
sci Fi, then try a film called The Giant
Gila Monster. Saw that one for the first time 60 years ago and still try to
Catch it when I can. Last time I caught it was back in ’19 when Mom
was still with us. All I had to do to make her happy was to put on those
old sci Fi films on Friday Night Frights
(channel 13.2 out of Tampa) or Svengoolie on METV, order her favorite pizzas from Domino’s, and she was a happy camper. And although those times were tough for me to watch, I came out on the other side with wonderful memories that would last me a lifetime. And yes dear, I STILL wanna hold your hand!
Hi Angel! This could indeed be a Calais although I don’t ever recall seeing one in sedan trim. Still, it’s close enough to my long departed ’66,I sure wouldn’t kick it off my parking space that’s for sure. As for those campy old sci Fi films you like,
I’ve seen Attack O The 50 Foot Woman quite a few times over the last 60 years and the smashed up wagon always appeared to a ’54 Chevy 210. Last time I saw it was 2021 when Mom was still with us. All I had to do to make her happy was to
Put on one of those old sci Fi films on
Friday Night Frights on 13.2 (Tampa)
or Svengoolie on METV, order one of her favorite pizzas from Domino’s, and she was a happy camper. Yeah,
those times were tough, but I came out on the other side with a lot of great memories. And yes dear, I STILL wanna hold your hand.
Ken,
I’m probably wrong. I quite often am. Even as I was typing that post out I thought of putting Pontiac OR Chevy wagon. Frankly, from 1949 on to 1954 all GM wagons looked the same in the rear.
Apparently Mr. Rick was offended by my misspelling of CALAIS! Too bad, sir, or I’ll mention YOUR flat tire. 😆😘 You know I’m only teasing you. Sorry to hear of your pothole misfortune that cost you a small fortune. I need 4 new tires also but before that my passenger side strut is leaking. $1000 to replace both.
To Harrison,
I have a collection of 1300 DVDs & Blu-Rays. Many many 50s campy Sci-Fi. Unfortunately right now they are all in storage in Vegas. Obviously I can’t remember ALL the titles but a few are “The Crawling Eye”, “The Monolith Monsters”, “Them!”, “Tarantula”, “Forbidden Planet” (my favorate) “When Worlds Collide”. I can’t think of others at the moment (lucky you)
I love old black & white movies. Sci-fi or not. Old gumshoe movies are cool.
I love the original “Twilight Zone.”
My fave is the “Phone Call” the old woman keeps getting phone calls and it turns out they are from her fiancé that accidently got killed in a car accident, she was driving. A downed telephone line laid across his grave. Classic!
That’s ME, Picky Ricky. But someone or something seems to be getting Picky here in the BARN. Several messages from me to you Angel and some others have disappeared 😔. Love ya but it’s still CALAIS, OK? Maybe we ARE in The Twilight Zone! 😲
Angel, I posted a long reply but it didn’t go through. Frankly, My Dear, I’m too pooped to try again. Tune in tomorrow for a NEW episode of As The Stomach Turns .

Ooh Angel, you just named a few of my all time faves. Used to see films
like these on a program called The Acri Creature Feature. Or just Creature Features on channel 31 out of Peoria. Channel 19 also ran a show called Science Fantasy that aired on Friday nights after the local news. They ran films like The Giant
Gila Monster, Attack Of The 50 Foot
Woman, The Amazing Colossal Man,
and many more. That was in 1965
just as the spook movie craze was taking off. Before that, you had local
horror shows like In The Dead Of The
Night, Nightmare Theater with Robin Goodfellow. Oops m, almost forgot
Little Shop Of Horrors with Jack Nicholson. And like the old cars we all know and love, these corny old sci Fi films are a lot, lot better than the
slash and splatter crap they try to pass off as entertainment. With all that being said, I’ll get down off my soapbox now.
I bought one of this year used for 500$ cash off a lot in Ohio in ‘73. Well, actually it was the Fleetwood Brougham model. Only fault was rust on the edges of the fender skirts. Front seat would power forward till nearly touching the wheel. Queen size bed space resulted in the rear.
And this in the heyday of drive-ins. Youth is wasted on the young.
And with gas at 30 cents a gallon Nobody cared that much about mpg’s, until the next year…
Hello, Angel Cadillac Queen Diva! I hope you get to see this. I finally was able to get in touch with my friend who loves “campy” sci-fi. And I told him about your interest in the genre. He texted:
“It’s WONDERFUL to hear of another person who loves these movies as I do!!”. Then he left a list of suggestions for you: art thou READY??:
The Thing From Another World
Them!
Earth Versus The Flying Saucers
Journey To The Center Of The Earth
The Blob
Attack Of The 50ft. Woman
The Incredible Shrinking Man
Tarantula
It Came From Outer Space
Creature From The Black Lagoon
First Men In The Moon
The Time Machine
The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms
The Amazing Colossal Man
The Fly
Monster On The Campus
The Monolith Monster
The Land Unknown
The War Of The Worlds
It Conquered The World
Earth Versus The Spider
Fiend Without a Face
It Came From Beneath The Sea
My friend, who was born in 1954, is only 70-years-old — and this is the sort of stuff that he watches and enjoys. I recollect one from 1951 that he didn’t mention, starring Patricia Neal: “The Day The Earth Stood Still”. What are YOUR favourites??? I can’t promise you that I will watch them — but I can tell my friend about them. For some reason, the one he wants me most to watch is, “The Blob”. I remember the popular song by The Five Blobs from 1958. And I remember the 1957 crazy novelty by Buchanan and Ancell: “The Creature From The Black Slacks Lagoon”, which had a loopy story about a huge four-year-old space alien child made out of “goo”, that was carried along by snippets of then-recent hit records (there were a number of such novelty records from 1956 until 1961, then only occasionally after that).

Well, Harrison, tell your friend I said hi. I have all of those on DVD & Bluray except for:
The Amazing Collossal Man
Monster On Campus
THE Land Unknown
Earth is the Spider
It Came from Beneath the Sea
I have The Thing orig & remake & prequel
Journey to the Center of the Earth orig & remake
The Blob orig & remake
Attack of the 50 ft Woman orig. & remake
Time Machine orig. & remake
War of the World’s orig. & sequel & remake
And also my favorite The Day the Earth Stood Still orig. & remake.
As I said earlier all of mine are still in Vegas so I can’t readily get to them but I have quite a few more. I was born in ’53 and about to turn 72 so he and I are on the same page
One thing that always stuck out to me in the 1960s Time Machine was when the volcano erupts and lava us going through the streets if London covering up the cars. It was obviously a model set and the model cars were a ’48 Cadillac fastback, a ’58 Ford Thunderbird convertible and a ’54 Jaguar XKE.
(Had to throw that in there so no one will complain that this is BARN FINDS not MOVIE NEWS)
But a lot of these old campy sci-fi movies are great resources for seeing old cars
I also had a very long reply but got the 403 page so I guess there’s a limit on how long replies can be.
To Angel_Cadillac_Queen_Diva: Hello! Nice to hear back from you! And I thought I had lots to say… but 403 pages! YIKES!!!”
Journey To The Center Of The Earth” sounds familiar: was that around 1960, starring Pat Boone?
What I have as “The Thing”, is a Phil Harris 78 I bought in 1950 (the other side is “Goofus” — both are entertaining). “The Thing” might be familiar to you, even though it came out before you were born, since it was re-issued as a popular children’s record in 1959. The words to “Goofus” go like this:
I was born on a farm out in I-uh-way
A flamin’ youth who was bound that he’d fly away
I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxophone.
Can’t read notes, but I’ll play anything by ear
I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear
I’d start to play
Folks used to say
“Sounds a little goofus to me”.
Corn-fed chords appeal to me
I like rustic harmony
Hold the note ‘n’ change the key
That’s called “goofus”
Not accordin’ to the rules
That you learn at music schools
But the folks just dance like fools
They love goofus.
Got a job, but I just couldn’t keep it
‘Pon the leader said I played all the music wrong
So I stepped out with an outfit of my own.
Got together a new kind of orchestry
And we all played just that same goofus harmony
And I must admit
We made a hit
Goofus has been lucky for me!
Naturally Phil Harris’s inimitable delivery MAKES the song. The tune was written by Wayne King, who, along with some other bands, had an instrunental hit with it in 1930. Just who set the words to it, and when, I do not know. But they are clever, and the song is lots of fun. The original Wayne King recording is good, too (if you like 1930-style bands).
No, hon, it wasn’t 403 PAGES! FOUR OH THREE is a code. For what I’m not sure, but if you get that code your post won’t go through. After I deleted about 1/2 of my post it finally went through.
Not sure about Goofus, but The Thing is a 1953 or 1956 movie based on the book The Thing From Another World. Ask your buddy about it.
To Angel_Cadillac_Queen_Diva: Oh… THAT “403”!!! I have had that pop-up and block me with almost every other post, with the word “forbidden” with it — and I had no idea what I was doing wrong! I kept asking myself, WHY are they BLOCKING me? I would spend nearly an hour and longer in putting together and repeatedly editing a post, until I had it JUST RIGHT — then get blocked with “403 – Forbidden”. Thanks for enlightening me!
@HR
No problem, Harrison. When that happens just keep editing your post until it’s short enough to go through.
To Angel_Cadillac_Queen_Diva: You’re a dear!
