Snoop Dogg isn’t just a rap legend – he’s also a bona fide car nut, with a full stable of classics and customs at his home in Southern California. Of course, for anyone even remotely familiar with Snoop’s songs and videos, that really shouldn’t come as a surprise. Now, however, Snoop’s custom 1966 Cadillac DeVille is on display at a Caddy dealer in North Texas.
Nicknamed the “Snoop DeVille,” this bespoke Caddy is quite the attention-getter, and fits the role of showroom centerpiece well. As the story goes, the ’66 Cadillac was a favorite of Snoop’s late uncle June Bug, who frequently took it for a ride when he wasn’t out on tour with Snoop Dogg. However, Snoop blew the engine one day, which meant it was simply sitting around taking up space.
As such, the custom Cadillac was sold and the engine was replaced, while the audio system was upgraded. The Caddy was sold again in 2022, at which time it was purchased by Frank Kent Cadillac in Arlington, Texas.
If you recognize this ride, it may be because it was in 50 Cent’s “P.I.M.P Remix” video. Standout features include crisp white exterior paint, which is complemented by platinum pin striping down the flanks and on the hood. The “Snoop DeVille” moniker is proudly on display on the fenders, while large chrome wheels ride in the corners. The glass gets a cool blue tint to it, making the blue pinstripes pop just a little more. The California license plates read “SNOOP 66”.
While the exterior is certainly eye-popping, the interior is even wilder. The whole cabin is covered in teal blue, including the seat upholstery, carpeting, dash, and steering column. There’s also chandeliers mounted in the rear pillars, as well as in the center of the headliner. Apparently, the custom Cadillac managed to secure a “top interior” prize at a GM car competition in 2006.
Now, Snoop’s Cadillac can be found at Frank Kent Cadillac in Arlington. Check it out if you’re in the area.

Terrible mix of color between interior and exterior. Beyond that, I have a soft spot for the ’65-66 Cadillacs. One of our family cars when I was a kid was a ’65 Coupe de Ville, tan exterior with black vinyl roof and red leather interior.
In the postwar period from one model year to the next, Cadillacs would carry forth certain styling elements which gave the marque a special consistency during that period of radical change. One of those elements was verticality. The 48 Cadillac started things out with their narrow, upright little taillight fins which mimicked the upright tail fin on an airplane. Over the following years up through 1964, the fins evolved in many ways, but would always have that vertical element.
For1965, Cadillac made (for them) some notable changes. The obvious one was that the fin in the rear was gone. Up front, headlights became stacked vertically (following Pontiac by a few years). And finally, side windows became curved.
I would have it fumigated before I would sit in it.
M y first thought. You beat me to it.
My white diamond XTS Platinum is a great evolution of that car.
Another case of glamorizing a druggie gangster.
