DeVilles kept their rear fender signature scripts for a distinctions of trim. One auto writer described this feature as "Tiffany-like." Standard equipment matched that found in Calais models plus power window lifts.

NOTES:

  • Style Number 68357-J was called the Coupe DeVille.
  • Other models were Convertible or Sedan DeVilles.
  • Some sources quote substantially lower factory list prices for 1965 Cadillacs.
  • This may be due to a strike that occurred very early in the year, which probably brought $100-400 price increases after it was settled.
  • The UAW walkout closed the company's newly expanded Clark Avenue (Detroit) factory from September 25, 1964 through the following December and created a decline in production and sales for the 1964 calendar year.
