Overview of 1978 Cadillac Seville For Sale by Owner

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.

1985 Cadillac Seville Classic

Current Ask
$21,999

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.
