The 1976 DeVille was the last year of its generation and offered new colors and options suggesting what was to come. A new finer crosshatched grille. Cornering lamps got new horizontal chrome trim while taillamps gained a new bold look.

The 1975 DeVille was met with styling changes like dual rectangular headlamp lenses flanked by rectangular cornering lights wrapped around the body. A new cross-hatched grille also appeared.

The 1974 DeVille received a wide eggcrate with dual round headlamps mounted close together in square bezels. Rear fendersides were flatter without the elliptical bulge. The rear end had vertical bumper ends with the taillight built in.

The 1973 DeVille got new energy absorbing bumpers that brought styling refinements. Grilles were widened and had an intricate eggcrate design. Larger vertical rectangles housed the parking lamps between wide spaced headlamps.

The 1972 DeVille received a modest frontal revision that placed more emphasis on horizontal grille blades. The parking lamps were moved from the bumper to between the square bezeled headlamps, which were now set wider apart.

The 1971 DeVille was redesigned and set a record for interior width that would not be matched by any car until the full-size GM rear-wheel-drive models of the early to mid-90s.
