Personally, I agree with most of the comments (although I am not converted on the metallic tan/brown). I don't recall seeing bright red 64 Cadillacs.
-
The German OEM's and particularly MB have liked the combo - I recall a Detroit Auto Show when everything on the MB stand was gray or silver with a brown interior. Still sucks for me.

Thanks for your opinions and observations.
I was familiar with "old man gold", aka "realtor beige" aka "dead mouse metallic." The uncolor.
But in a certain era it seems to fit , as you say, such as the Dodge Matt sold recently.

I've been learning from those who sell frequently about what's in and what's not. I didn't have "green phobia" and now see it as an advantage to buying. The 1930-ish car in tan/beige with brown/b lack fenders and red/orange/yellow wheels does say 1970's to me, but is not aesthetically so bad. So I'd like a tutorial on a couple more that are common and instead are real turn-offs for me.
Large 1960's-1970's cars in "resale red." This look like garish fire trucks to me, How does the market view them?
Silver/grey cars with brown/tan interiors. I find this combo horrid - although it has become more common in new cars. How does the market view these? (yes, the very nice otherwise DeVille prompted this one.)

Not enough info to tell.

Terrific car. Educate me - what are the devices coming through the body sill between the driver's side doors and just in front of the rear fender?

good for driving convertibles in cool weather ( and not looking like an idiot with the side windows up)

possible record ad for number of wrong homonyms

I think there are more like a dozen Dobles remaining. I've seen one, and the engineering is very interesting.

In addition to your "Cadillac expert's" knowledge of 1933, the 1965 Calais came with crank windows, manual seats, no vinyl roof or leather seats available.

Is that the one with the tulip designs in the door panels and the St Christopher light on the left fender?
-
Love the Bucciali brochure! Is that claim of first front wheel drive accurate?
Anybody else see Atalante DNA in Jaguar XK coupes?

I'd suggest you contemplate where you want the interior to end up. It can be an incremental project, but with the end in mind pieces will not need to be redone. For example, choose the door card material and pattern to match your target, not necessarily what's there now.
A Hollander manual can tell what other cars' wheels will work, but be sure first that your hubs have not been changed. Some plain moon caps wouldn't be out of character if the Willys ones are too elusive.
-
educated guess: either June 1972 or the sixth week of 1972. European companies often refer to dates as the nth week of the year, with n 1-52.

Putting any price the owner deems appropriate is fine. It tells the potential buyer what you consider the value to be. Yes, you will still get some who call with an offer half of asking price, but it does tell folks the level at which serious negotiation will take place.
I am not picking on your pricing at all - the cars I've seen you post with prices seem very realistic. But when I see a car with an asking price twice typical market, I know it's a waste of time to pursue it.
-
So the fruit of not putting a price was both buyer and seller wasting their time.
I see the point about new posters, although it really isn't a question of "following the rules," it just makes sense to have a price and location in an ad for it to attract serious buyers.

I hesitate to suggest work for volunteer moderators, but...
Would it be practical to simply delete any ad without the car's location and price? we've all seen this nonsense so many times.

It's an affordable and excellent example.of the era. It is what Grandpa drove. Cool car, you just have to expect to hear "advice" on how to ruin it with a SBC.

Interesting car - a question on a detail. The seat piping and tip of rear armrest seem to be in vinyl or leather. The front armrests were done that way originally, but I have not seen the welting and rear armrest like this. Is this factory or a very well done "sympathatic restoration" retaining most of the original interior?
( and the usual "V8" ignorance in the description)

The 69 Cadillac orchid was late in the lavender run, as others show. The other Cadillac purple was a very dark metallic - looked good on closed cars with black top/interior.
