with a 340 horsepower 429 cubic inch V8 and automatic transmission with rear wheel drive. For 1967, DeVilles were extensively restyled. Prominent styling features included a powerful frontal appearance with forward-leaning front end and stacked headlights with an egg crate grille, long, sculptured body lines, and redefined rear fenders that had more than just a hint of tail fins in them. Standard DeVille features included non-glare rear-view mirror, electric clock, automatic climate controls, padded dashboard, hazard warning system, outboard seatbelt retractors and rear cigarette lighters.

Exterior in white with an electric white convertible top. Interior in burgundy leather. Appears to be the original paint on the car. The car has been in the possession of the current consignor since 2003, when several maintenance issues were resolved including a rebuild of the front suspension and new shock absorbers, brake system rebuilt, major tune up to engine performed, and transmission serviced.

This sleek ride's original owner, Ray Conniff, was a grammy award-winning recording artist, bandleader and arranger who was especially popular in the '60s and '70s. Mr. Conniff bought the car after winning his 1966 Grammy for "Somewhere My Love," the theme song from the movie Dr. Zhivago. The car became the celebrity's daily driver thereafter. Included are the vehicle's detailed service history with Mr. Conniff''s handwritten notes.
