I didn't think that the rubber bumper strip was available on the "71". If it was, then it would have been on the front too. That leads me to believe that the rear end was hit and the bumper replaced with a "72" bumper , or an after market strip was put on.

eh, no

@MONKSCASTLE From where did the rubber strip come then? I'm not trying to say anything bad about your car. It is BEAUTIFUL ! I had a "71" Fleetwood. I KNOW how nice they are. The rubber strip does not match up though. If it was an option on the "71", then it would have been on the front too. Only the "72" had the rubber strips as standard. Perhaps G.M. ran out of "71" rear bumpers and put a "72" on? Who knows. It still is an incredible car in ANY case.

Very nice car... I love old Cadillacs. I got a 70 Coupe a few years ago and I can't remember life without it.

[MONKSCASTLE]

life aint worth living without a real cadillac!

7mpg ------now that's what I call sweet !

imagine all the black and Italian women you'll get with that !! LOL.....I had a 1971 Buick electra 225 that would suck down the gas.........It hauled ass...I bet that caddy still burns the wheels ! (the only women I could get with mine were fat )....but they loved the fold down seats !

nice caddy there so hard to find in this kind of shape !

Obviously this was just driven out of the dealership. And we know there weren't video cams in those days...so I think we have proof of a time traveler. WOW! when you finally got to the front, what a masterpiece that front is not to mention the rest of the car. And that interior!!!! Brings back memories. I think Cadillac could fire up the old factory and sell these very easily.

todays designers go home......

the cars from the 70s are basically early models of the navigator and escalade.

These DeVilles were awesome! Didn't like the 75-76 Devilles with those cheap downgraded looking rear quarter windows.

@MONKSCASTLE Okay. That explains it. I used to work on mine all the time. I have a newer one now. I can't do a thing to it. With the "71", I didn't even need to loosen anything for an emergency fan belt replacement. I stretched it over the pulley with a screw driver. With the serpentine belt, the new one had to go to the mechanic. I miss being under the hood of the "71". I replaced the entire A./C. from a-z, and the entire braking system from a-z.. I loved that car.

@NragedXX They didn't ride much nicer than this car. That's for sure. In 1974, Lincoln challenged Cadillac and the famous "ride wars" started. The "75" and "76" was the result. Their ride is unequaled anywhere at any price.
