What is the Cadillac DeVille Concours?

The Concours was a trim of Cadillac’s DeVille sedan and part of the eighth-generation DeVille, which ran from 1994 to 1996 on the K-body platform. The name appeared in US listings for 1994–1995 and Canadian listings for 1995–1996.

This DeVille generation adopted front-wheel drive and a more contemporary shape while keeping the spacious, formal character of a Cadillac sedan. The Concours was associated with the 4.6-litre Northstar V8.
