Cadillac has officially sold cars here in Germany since World War II. I’m just thinking about who decided to buy a new Cadillac here at the time? Unfortunately, I didn’t find a historical price list, so I have to speculate. Price 1973 Cadillac de Ville in USA about $7000 For import and customs you can certainly beat another 40% on it, so you end up at about $10,000 at the then price of 2,70 DM so about 27,000 DM. For the same G eld one would have got a Mercedes 280 SE, of course at that time ex factory without electric window lifters, without automatic, without climate and without leather seats.http://www.meinbenz.de/price lists/w116_price list0373.htm Advantage Cadillac: large 7.7 liters V8, exclusive, better equipped Advantage Mercedes: easier to park in cities, better suited for BAB. Does anyone know registration numbers from then? What were those for people who had the money and who had dared to have such a car i n Germany to buy new?
