1965 Cadillac Coupe Calais - walk around and quick drive

[@keithcampbell6814]

Power steering belt needs tighten or replaced. Very clean car

[@MostlyBuicks]

Back in the 80s my dad had one like this but it was gold with the Automatic Climate Control. It was almost in museum quality, even though it was 20 years old at the time. He preferred Buicks, so he did not keep it long.

I LOVE YOUR CALAIS !!!

A thing of beauty!!!

Interesting that Cadillac basically used the 4 door hardtop roof for the coupes and adjusted the door and quarter panel length to make it a 2 door. Chevy, Buick, Olds and Pontiac used a fastback roof design on their full sized 2 door cars in '65 except for the upmarket '98's, Electras,and Bonneviles which used the more formal 2 door roof line instead of the fastback. Too bad that a '65 Impala did not offer a more formal 2 door roofline along with the fastback design.

My 64 Coupe Deville was last year of the bulky look design......65 is so much crisper in style.....I like this car......Calais is the base model Caddy's....they were called the 62 series before 65 was renamed Calais

[@davidgold5961]

One step Cadillac took for the Calais was to eliminate the stainless steel molding down low between the wheel wheels. Also, leather was not available.

Nice car great color, sounds like ldle or timing needs turned up.

[@mstoll]

What's that sound? Loose belts?

[@steeltag]

thats pwr steering belt issue

[@MrTitan225]

your right... engine sounds rough....maybe carb is dirty or needs rebuilt...gas tank could have sediment sucking up to carb...tune up may also help her out....steering noise...belt needs looked at/replaced or tightened...... nice looking car....I like coupes....had a 64 Coupe Deville years ago....she ran smooth at idle and drive speeds

[@AUTOHAUSEUROPA]

What area is that ?

[@keithcampbell6814]

Real nice car needs idle turned up way to low

[@dennisleporte2327]

Love 65/66 so long low linear and sexy.

[@Bioguy5]

Why does the 'Drive' option on the gears shifter have two dots? Is the second option sport mode?

[@keithcampbell6814]

One is driving in city other gear is for the express way.its an extra gear for highway driving

[@paulpeterson4311]

I believe it is for snow & ice and skips 1st gear. These cars have 3 gears period. No extra gear for highway driving. My 61 Lincoln has the same feature.

[@paulpeterson4311]

@@keithcampbell6814 You joking right? 3 speed trans.

[@deesullivan7474]

Where is the fuel door on these things??

[@AotL0000]

Possibly behind the license plate

[@davidallen5776]

This can easily be mistaken for the Coupe De Ville.

She can use some TLC under the hood.

How hard can it be to tighten up put new belt on cmon man !!

[@craigjorgensen4637]

I never understood why Cadillac would have bothered making the Calais model or why anyone would buy one? They were really basically a cheapened up De Ville. A lot didn’t have air conditioning and I think power windows were an option. They had a cheap looking interior. I think they were for wannabes who wanted to show the world they drove a Cadillac. For the same price a person could have bought a loaded Buick. This one is pretty ratty and is tough running with power steering problems and a bad exhaust.
