Thanks, much quicker than us doing it one by one Only 2 DeVille Concours and a DeVille Funeral Coach were missed, I've fixed them.

Should be fine now (except maybe some models in low quantities, but I fixed the main ones)

While looking at the list of Sedan DeVilles I noticed there's still a bunch of them (over 50) with deVille spelt with a lower case d. There's also a lot of Coupe DeVilles that are like this as well.
And there's still quite a few DeVilles where the v is lower case (should upper case - "DeVille")
Can you fix this? (rather than us doing each one manually?) Don't forget to include the Stretched Limousines and Convertibles.

Done.

Well, if no one has any objections...

I can do that, yes. So I simply rename all "* de Ville" to "* DeVille"?
G-MANN
I think that would probably be OK. Even though I have this nagging feeling that maybe it should be a small d but as antp says it can look a bit strange.
So are you going to change this, antp? (have all the models spelled the same way)

So DeVille one word with a capital D for all variants? I think that's the way most people spell it now.

They do seem to call it the DeVille Convertible in the brochures (just look through the ones here http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Cadillac/dirindex.html
There was the Coupe de Ville, the Sedan de Ville and the DeVille Convertible, which was made from 1964 to 1970. I don't think there was any model just called DeVille until the 1994-1999 one.

I do not like much "deVille", is looks strange and previously I remember that we renamed all the "deVille" to "DeVille" because someone else (MrCadillac?) told us it was not correct
"DeVille" seemed the better choice to me, but if you think that "deVille" fits better (e.g. if it is more used than the other variants) I have no problem.
The "Convertible" in model name should be used if the car was named that way in the commercial documents. If they didn't use the name "DeVille Convertible" in that way then we should just put it as extra info.
