Cadillac Coupe DeVille gets nicked on the Genting hillclimb

Luckily there were no injuries.

The beautiful Cadillac Coupe DeVille from Thailand has been damaged on the Genting Highlands road up. Famous for weekend racers and youtubers to show their driving skills, the stretch of road has seen many mishaps and you can count of at least one a week on average. 

Now comes a classic American tourer and luckily the damage does not seem very severe, Just a little nick around the edges along the kerb. 

More importantly the driver and passengers are ok. The signboard can be recovered and re-installed and the damaged kerb can be repaired. 

HISTORY of The The Cadillac DeVille. This is a classic full-size luxury auto that was in production from 1958 to 2005 with model years 1959–2005. 

The Cadillac DeVille was originally a trim level and later a separate model produced by Cadillac. The first car to bear the name was the 1949 Coupe de Ville, a pillarless two-door hardtop body style with a prestige trim level above that of the Series 62 luxury coupe. The last model to be formally known as a DeVille was the 2005 Cadillac DeVille, a full-size sedan, the largest car in the Cadillac model range at the time. The next year, the DeVille was officially renamed the Cadillac DTS.
