Cadillac may have been renowned for gargantuan land yachts in the Fifties and Sixties, but by the Seventies, the Malaise Era was in full swing, and customers were downsizing. America's best-known luxury brand knew that they needed a smaller car. Cue the Seville, which debuted in 1975. Named after a Spanish province rich in history and art, Cadillac would keep the nameplate going until 2004, when the STS replaced it. This 1978 Cadillac Seville is a fine first-generation reminder of what a relatively downsized Cadillac was like at the beginning of its life. This car has seen 100,000 miles, but the current owner reports it to have undergone some freshening up.
Exterior and Interior
Mint Green is a very Seventies color, and this 1978 Cadillac Seville is a Seventies car. Thus, it looks like a time capsule from the past. Quad headlamps, chrome bumpers, a squarish shape, and a top in a darker hue all contribute to its charm. Take a closer look, and you'll note the requisite badging, as well as chrome wheels, which have reportedly received new tires. Overall, the car appears to be in great condition, save for some surface rust here and there that can easily be addressed by a capable body shop. Inside, it's quintessential American luxury within what's said to be an original interior. We see power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, cruise control, climate control with air conditioning, intermittent wipers and a push-button radio. All these controls are ensconced within plenty of wood trim that has aged but in a good way. Rear seat passengers receive map lights with the Cadillac crest next to them, as well as ashtrays, in an era when smoking within the confines of a car was the norm. Speaking of seats, they're all plush and comfy; you'll sink into them happily.
Engine
This 1978 Cadillac Seville is powered by a 350ci (5.7L) V8 with electronic fuel injection that drives the rear wheels via a THM-400 three-speed automatic gearbox. The current owner reports that the car has received a recent oil change, tune-up, and new brakes. Power output when new was said to be 180hp, which is ample for a luxury car that's meant to be driven in a smooth and careful manner.
Cadillac may be best known for their massively opulent land yachts that really pushed the boundaries of full-size cars, but did you know that they had smaller options? In fact, they still do. Between 1976 and 2004, their midsize luxury car was the Seville. Named after a Spanish province renowned for art and architecture, today’s 1985 Cadillac Seville comes from the second generation of the nameplate. It’s got only 13,272 miles on its 4.1-liter throttle body injected V8, and features a four-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, the car is front-wheel drive, as was typical back in the day. If you’d like to acquire this rather interesting piece of Eighties Americana, it’s currently up for grabs in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
The Cadillac Seville was Caddy's stab at the personal luxury car segment, and they took it to new levels altogether. Debuting for the 1976 model year, you could buy an Seville all the way up to 2004. This 1976 Cadillac Seville Bicentennial Edition is from the first generation and was made to celebrate America's 200th Birthday. Up for sale with 70,300 miles on the clock, it's a great symbol of Americana for you to purchase and drive, as well as a savvy investment.

This 1983 Cadillac Eldorado comes from an era when a luxury coupe was meant to make an entrance before it ever turned a wheel. Finished in Briarwood Brown Firemist with a Burgundy Landau vinyl roof and a Dark Carmine leather interior, this Eldorado wears the rich, formal color palette that defined early-1980s Cadillac design. Showing approximately 105,332 miles, it brings together the long hood, upright chrome-heavy styling, wire-style wheel covers, and plush two-door proportions that made the Eldorado such a recognizable personal-luxury car. This is the kind of Cadillac built for relaxed boulevard cruising, with comfort and presentation taking priority over outright speed.
This 1963 Cadillac DeVille 4-Door Sedan Park Avenue is the kind of full-size American luxury car that immediately transports you to another era. Showing approximately 72,735 miles, it is finished in Newport Blue Poly over a Medium Blue interior and carries the distinctive Park Avenue short-deck configuration, giving it a slightly more compact rear profile than the standard Sedan DeVille while retaining Cadillac’s unmistakable presence. The current owner reports that the car has remained in the same family for three generations, adding a level of provenance that makes this already uncommon Cadillac especially compelling for an enthusiast who values history as much as style.
The 1969 Cadillac Eldorado stands as one of the defining American personal-luxury cars of its era, pairing unmistakable late-1960s Cadillac styling with the unusual front-wheel-drive architecture that set the Eldorado apart from the rest of the lineup. Showing 22,260 miles, this example was originally finished in Sapphire Blue Firemist with a white vinyl roof and white leather interior before being refinished in red and reupholstered in white vinyl under prior ownership. Its appeal goes well beyond presence alone, with a 472ci V8, Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and the long, low proportions that made the second-generation Eldorado such an unmistakable flagship coupe. It is offered with a clean California title.
