Cadillac Coupe DeVille.

This illustration shows what a new 21st-century large 2-door Cadillac Coupe DeVille would look like. This is a complement to the Sedan DeVille post a few days ago.
While GM is probably not working on a new 2-door Cadillac model, we already know 2 all-new sedans based on a revised version of the Ultium platform are in the works. Which is great news.
Since Cadillac has gone nuts and is now offering a crazy looking $340, 000 EV Celesiq sedan, why not a large coupe? Not a production version of the Sollei concept which would cost even more than the Celestiq. And not a sleeker Eldorado either. But a more conventional-looking “Coupe DeVille”. Of course, most current Cadillac SUV buyers have never even heard of that name, and maybe even never actually seen a big Cadillac 2-door coupe.
The first Coupe DeVille came out back in 1949, and after many generations, was produced until 1993. While very popular at first, and sometimes even outselling the 4-door Sedan DeVille, sales dwindled down to 4711 units in its last year. A new sedan generation came out in 1994, but the 2 door coupe never returned.
Up until the 1980’s these were giant RWD 2-door cars roaming the North American roads. While they were huge they weren’t as roomy inside as you’d expect. Things could change with the much more efficient Ultium platform and a new big Cadillac coupe could be quite roomy and stylish.
The huge American 2-door Luxury coupe is a body style that has disappeared long ago, but we still have great Rolls Royce coupes around as well as Bentleys.
Why not a new big Cadillac that’s not an SUV?
