Cadillac--a luxury vehicle marque that General Motors owns--sold the full-size passenger car, the DeVille, between 1949 and 2005. The 1991 model-year entry appeared during the vehicle's sixth generation of production, with two more generations destined to occur. It was available in two trims: a coupe and a sedan.
Engine, Transmission and Fuel Economy
The 1991 Cadillac DeVille had a 4.9-liter V-8 engine with 200-horsepower and 275 foot-pounds of torque, a 4-inch bore, a 3-inch stroke and a compression ratio of 9 to 1. The transmission was a 4-speed automatic with overdrive. With an 18-gallon gas tank, the '91 DeVille got 16 miles per gallon (mpg) for city driving and 26 mpg for highway driving.
Interior
The cabin of the 1991 Cadillac DeVille was big enough to accommodate six people. Depending on the body style, headroom was measured at between 38 and 40 inches, leg room between 40 and 44 inches, shoulder room between 57 and 59 inches, and hip room between 52 and 53 inches. The sedan had a slightly bigger interior than the coupe. Air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and a stereo system with cassette deck were some of the standard features of the '91 DeVille.
Exterior
The 1991 Cadillac Sedan DeVille was slightly larger than the coupe. The sedan was 206 inches long, 73 inches wide and 55 inches high with a 114-inch wheelbase and a curb weight of 3,591 pounds. The coupe was 204 inches long, 73 inches wide and 55 inches long with a 111-inch wheelbase and a curb weight of 3,519 pounds. Both had 15-inch alloy wheels.
Safety and Handling
The 1991 Cadillac DeVille had a driver's airbag, anti-lock brakes and power door locks. The car had front and rear independent suspension. With rack-and-pinion steering, the sedan had a turning diameter of 40 feet while that of the coupe was 39 feet.
Price
The coupe and sedan versions of the 1991 Cadillac DeVille shared the same original manufacturer's suggested retail price: $30,455. Over the years, however, the sedan has held its value better than the coupe. As of May, 2010, Kelley Blue Book estimates the price range of the '91 DeVille sedan at $3,000 to $3,400. The coupe, meanwhile, is estimated at $2,900 to $3,400.
