The name DeVille is derived from the French de la ville or de ville meaning of the town.
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.
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 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 that 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.
As it had been since DeVille became a separate series, DeVille denoted Cadillac's mainstream model, falling between the Calais (which had replaced the Series 62) and the Sixty Special and Eldorado.
The DeVille was redesigned for 1965 but rode on the same 129.
5-inch (3,290 mm) wheelbase.
Tailfins were canted slightly downward, and sharp, distinct body lines replaced the rounded look.
Also new were a straight rear bumper and vertical lamp clusters.
The headlight pairs switched from horizontal to vertical, thus permitting a wider grille.
Curved frameless side windows appeared, and convertibles acquired tempered glass backlights.
New standard features included lamps for luggage, glove and rear passenger compartments and front and rear safety belts.
Power was still supplied by the 340 horsepower 429 cu in (7,030 cc) V8, which would be replaced by the 472 cu in (7,730 cc) for 1968.
Cadillac dropped the X-frame and used a new perimeter frame.
12 #fn12 Pillared sedans appeared on the DeVille series for the first time, while six-window hardtop sedans were dropped.
A padded vinyl roof was a $121 extra-cost option on the hardtop model.
All four DeVille models had small Tiffany-like script nameplates on the ends of their rear fenders just above the chrome side molding.
In 1966, changes included a somewhat coarser mesh for the radiator grille insert, which was now divided by a thick, bright metal horizontal center bar housing rectangular parking lamps at the outer ends.
Separate rectangular cornering lamps replaced the integral grille extension designs.
There was generally less chrome on all Cadillac models this year.
DeVille scripts were still above the rear tip of the horizontal body rub moldings.
Cadillac crests and V-shaped moldings, front and rear, were identifiers.
Cadillac firsts this season included variable ratio steering and optional front seats with carbon cloth heating pads built into the cushions and seatbacks.
Comfort and convenience innovations were headrests, reclining seats and an AM/FM stereo system.
Automatic level control was available.
Engineering improvements made to the perimeter frame increased ride and handling ease.
Newly designed piston and oil rings and a new engine mounting system and patented quiet exhaust were used.
