Front seat leather looks a little challenged, as does the trunk paint, but otherwise this appears to be a nice example. Nice colors anyway.
Typical of white leather of the era, it seems the least durable.

Yes, but I wonder if some sort of white so called spray dye, which I think is a light paint, would refresh it?
I am personally not a fan of the front of 1971-1972 DeVilles, so even though this is a nice example, I would pass. I think it is a blessing that Cadillac made quite a few cars in the 70's. No one needs to settle. I am holding out for a 1974. This is my favorite year of the 70's.
Egg crate grille, the side profile without true "hardtop" styling is something I love. I have no issue with the beautiful 71-72 side full 2 door hardtop styling though, which is why I posted this car here.
I too prefer the 1974, last year for round headlights.
That said, I do like the 1971 very much too. A friend of mine ordered a new 71 and it was a similar blue, but he had the vinyl top delete...the salesman at the time argued that would be a mistake. But when the car arrived it received much compliment.
The white leather is toast in the car, dye might give a better illusion but it's a gold ring in a sows ear.
