http://members.cox.net/phxjer/79dMarchand/history.htmhttp://www.car-nection.com/cadillacdata ... m77-79.htmThe d'Marchand Edition was a two-tone exterior painted car which was black with slate-grey on the hood, top, and trunk lid and a red stripe. It was equipped with an elk-grain vinyl roof in slate-grey. The interior had antique slate-grey leather seats with black leather inserts with red piping between the slate-grey and black. It also had two-tone door panels in grey with black inserts. The car also came with a grey leather-wrapped steering wheel. In August of 2001, Vadim Meter contacted me (Jim Richardson) regarding the Coupe d'Marchand. He sent me a copy of the window sticker for the d'Marchand which had a listing of a YP7BL Coupe d'Marchand with a list price of $1825 for this option. Vadim referred to this car correctly as the Coupe d'Marchand. I have been contacted by many owners of the same edition, and they refer to it as a Chicago Edition. In fact, many of the dealers in Chicago sold the car with the same window sticker on it for the d'Marchand option, but provided a dash plaque stating that it was a Chicago Edition. The car that I purchased was sold out of Tucson, Arizona, and was referred to as a Bill Blass edition.
In May 2000, this 1979 Cadillac Coupe deVille was added to the Richardson collection. The car was sold to Donald Millstone as a Bill Blass Edition Coupe deVille. The car was purchased in October of 1979 from Paulin Motor Company in Tucson, Arizona. It was purchased by Donald Millstone for his wife, Naomi. In 1997, it was acquired by Alex Pappas of Phoenix, Arizona, who was the second owner. The Richardsons are the third owner of this low-mileage, Arizona car. This d'Marchand (Bill Blass) Coupe deVille was a low production, special order car that was produced late in the production year of 1979. Tom Clark, who is a Cadillac LaSalle member, retired from Cadillac in 1986 after 36 years of service with Cadillac. He remembers the d'Marchand Limited Edition. It was a special order that dealers could order directly from the factory. He doesn't recall any specific information about this special edition, but feels that there was probably a bulletin given to the dealers about how to order the d'Marchand Edition. Because of this, there were probably only a few hundred of the d'Marchand Cadillacs made in 1979. Most people are more familiar with the high production run of the Bill Blass Edition that was done by Lincoln.
Late Extra [8/2008]: These additional pieces of information came from Paul Bedford, in the UK. Paul is the son of Don Bedford, an old "Cadillac friend" of mine from Yorkshire. Paul wrote: Just looking through your Database and the Coupe Deville D'Marchand section suggests there was no Cadillac factory literature. I have a letter from Cadillac to a potential client that explains this car. There were two 10x8 color pictures that went with the letter (these are already on your site). If you want a copy of the two-page letter let me know. Late Extra [5/2009]: Paul was kind enough to send me a copy of a letter from Cadillac Motor Car Co.'s . Here is the text: We have received your correspondence and request for "Special Edition" information during the Cadillac 1979 model year. The "Chicago Cadillac" to which you refer is a car produced be the Cadillac Motor Car Division for use in specific markets.
