[edit] Commentary

I was under the impression that the Cadillac Fleetwood was converted to actual limosuine use as well. --Thomas Veil —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.107.253.41 (talk) 08:41, 6 September 2004

To my knowledge it was; but the Fleetwood is no longer part of the current Cadillac range. —Morven 09:08, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Who or what was the DeVille named after? 205.188.116.68 23:15, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

DeVille is not the name of a person but is french for "of the town". The original name of the car was Sedan DeVille, french for "car of the town" or town car. Gerdbrendel 08:33, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Table

Please make sure the table with Deville Info is the same as on other pages picture on the top w/ same categories. Thank you very much Gerdbrendel 02:31, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DeVille or Deville

I'm Sorry, when I wrote DeVille I was thinking of the past De Ville (two words). Gerdbrendel 02:59, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Generations

I see little validity in separating some of the 'generations' of deVille; such as '71-73 from '74-76, or '77-79 from '80-84. Differences are not great enough to warrant it, IMO. --WQ59B —Preceding unsigned comment added by WQ59B (talkcontribs) 06:16, 6 November 2006

I removed the alleged break from '79 to '80, as this was only a facelift on all GM fullsize lines. I don't know about from '73 to '74. They changed the front end quite a bit, that much I can tell from the pictures. --Sable232 04:34, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I fixed it. The rectangular headlights came in '75 anyway. '74 and '69 were not new generations from what I find. --Olds 403 (talk) 20:52, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please expand

This article really needs to be expanded. Considering that over half the infoboxes only correspond to a three-paragraph section, we are in dire need of more information. I especially would like to know if there really are as many generations as the article suggests, and then be able to put in a heading for each one. --Sable232 04:34, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page is confusing

The boxes on this page are all over and kind of confusing the page needs to be cleaned up.Camryluvr 16:00, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
