Beginning in 1965, de Ville denoted Cadillac's
mainstream model, falling between the Calais and the Fleetwood.
All GM full size lines were completely redesigned for
1965, yet de Ville retained its 129.5-inch (3,290 mm) wheelbase. The
Series 62 on which the de Ville was based was now called Calais. Rounded
body styling gave way for sharp, angled lines. Tailfins disappeared, and
headlights were now stacked vertically allowing for a wider grille. The
pillared sedan variant returned. Power was still supplied by the
429 cu in (7,030 cc) V8, which was replaced by the 472 cu in (7,730 cc)
for 1968.
