Auto insurance company Hagerty released its 2022 Bull Market List this week, which catalogs the vehicles that its team of experts believe will go up in value in the next 12 months. While the majority of vehicles on this year’s edition of the annual list are European or Japanese, a handful of American cars also appear in the ranking – including the gorgeous 1965-1970 Cadillac DeVille.

Hagerty editors believe the 1965-1970 Cadillac DeVille will go up in value over the next year, as these models were typically overlooked in the past for the more head-turning finned Cadillacs of the late 1950s. That has led to surprisingly cheap list prices for these stunning executive cars – making a future price jump all but inevitable.
“Collectors long ago flocked to the late ’50s Cadillacs with their iconic fins, while these more modern and usable late ’60s models were largely snubbed,” Hagerty claims. “That is changing, but this generation of Cadillacs remains highly affordable — particularly on a dollar-per-pound scale — and they draw plenty of eyeballs and thumbs-up. These are tons (literally) of Detroit style for not much money.”

Hagerty’s online classic car valuation tool indicates a base 1965 Cadillac Deville two-door coupe in ‘Excellent’ condition sells for an average of $25,000, while a near-perfect ‘Concours’ example fetches around $36,600. Convertible models command slightly more, with ‘Excellent’ examples selling for around $34,800 and ‘Concours’ examples commanding $53,200. Investors and speculators may want to buy a model in moderate condition and perform some of their own repairs and restoration work, which could increase their profit margins when they go to sell the vehicle. Hagerty estimates most Cadillac DeVille models in average condition will sell for under $20,000 or so.
Other vehicles included on the 2022 Bull Market List include the 1969-1974 Ferrari Dino, 1979 to 1985 Mazda RX-7 and 1992-1995 Porsche 968. This year’s edition of the list even included an EV: the 2008 to 2012 Tesla Roadster.

Would suggest owning a Cadilac&Mercury-
(Mercury has a better luxury ride)

Remember
Those Are The Animals & Trees You Should Preserve 🍾☀️🌲🌳🌻🌎
Abra sua Champanhe, mas nada corte de Pinheiros e Árvores
Lembre dos Elefantes, Rhinos, Gatos, Felinos, Jaguares, da Amazônia, da bela Ceiba Pethandra de Cinquenta metros de altura e tronco de 4 metros de diametro frondosa, da Africa dos belos leões, guepardos, leopardos na siberia. Enfim dos Jegues devorados por chineses na Bahia e Ceará… enfim pense. Do porco na sua ceia, da encantada rena no seu prato, enfim de usar menos madeira em suas construções, ou nada, temos tecnologia, enfim medite…
Nothing like a Caddy ! 🙂 The styling was classic, & iconic, with a ride out of this world, like cruising in your favourite sofa !
While not GM’s best design, it’s still beautiful!
I prefer the late 60s to early 80s caddy’s for sure.
These Cadillacs ( 65 – 70 ) , broke sales records year after year .
The designs classic , yet futuristic .
Brilliantly , these cars appealed to the most Conservative banker. all the way to Hollywood Stars .
The color palate vast ; nteriors true mid century class contemporary.
Only later did Cadillac go to super velour parody.
Testimony to these cars appeal was their ability to stay on top of the luxury field , fending off excellent Lincoln’s , Imperials & GMs other luxury car with ease .
They were truly ‘ The American Standard Of The World ‘.
Agreed ! 🙂
The base 2 door Caddy in 1965 was a Calais, not a de Ville.
He wasn’t writing about the Calais. Yes, the Calais was the ‘entry level Caddy’…a new name for Series 62. You could get a base Calais, too, with standard equipment and features and then add options. A base DeVille to which he is referring is just that: standard equipment and features as they come…then, add options and accessories.

Anxiously awaiting the Celestiq.
Not.
I prefer the ’60s decade Cadillacs better. The ’70s Cadillacs was either a hit and a miss with awkward design with less quality materials. Love the ’80s-’90s designs also before Art & Science design took over from there in the ’00s.
I got a 67 Fleetwood for sale. Beautiful car…
