When the Seville debuted in 1976, it was the smallest Caddy on sale, which is really saying something since it was still classed as a mid-size luxury car. Seville is derived from the name of a Spanish province that's renowned for its rich history and art culture. You can see where Cadillac was going with this, especially when you cast your eyes upon the opulence that this 1978 Cadillac Seville Grandeur Opera Coupe exudes. With just 63,000 miles on the odo, it's quite lightly used and ready to serve its next owner with grace and dignity.
Exterior and Interior
Sporting a mid-blue paint job and white vinyl-wrapped top, this 1978 Cadillac Seville Grandeur Opera Coupe does exude a bit of an over-the-top persona, particularly with the twin spare wheels nestled on the front wings. It may be small, but it's still a Caddy, with those quad headlamps, sheer chrome grille, and lovely wire wheels wearing white-striped tires. This Caddy may be small in size, but it's super-large in persona and presence. Why go for the humdrum when you can have this and turn heads wherever you go? Inside, it's a rich labyrinth of white leather and proper wood trim that looks and feels as real as it is, free from the multiple layers of varnish or lacquer that today's wood trim comes with. Being a Caddy, creature comforts abound, including climate control, power door locks, power windows, and power seats. There's a period-correct AM/FM radio as well, replete with a power antenna, and you'll even find cruise control to make highway driving that little bit easier.
Engine
It may be a small Caddy in a relative sense, but this 1978 Cadillac Seville Grandeur Opera Coupe still sports a proper, American, grumbly V8. It's a 350ci Oldsmobile unit that delivers 180hp to the rear wheels via a column-shifted 3-speed THM400 automatic transmission. If the power output sounds low, blame the Seventies and the Malaise Era for that. That, plus the significant weight meant that zero to sixty was an 11-second affair when new. Still, you don't want a car that'll shake you out of its plush seats each time you breathe on the gas, but something that'll carry you in a comfortable and stately 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.
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.
There are fast wagons, there are rare wagons, and then there's the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon. When Cadillac unleashed this outrageous creation for the 2011 model year, it proved that American performance engineering could go toe-to-toe with Europe's finest without abandoning its muscle car roots. Take a practical five-door luxury wagon, stuff a 556-horsepower supercharged V8 under the hood, send all that power to the rear wheels, and, most importantly, give the driver a proper six-speed manual transmission. The result? One of the most outrageous and enthusiast-oriented vehicles Cadillac has ever produced. Today, the CTS-V Wagon has earned a devoted following among collectors, particularly examples equipped with the increasingly elusive manual gearbox. This 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon, showing just 24,659 miles, is finished in sophisticated White Diamond Tricoat over a Light Titanium leather and microsuede interior. Equipped with desirable options including Recaro performance seats, polished 19-inch wheels, Magnetic Ride Control, and an UltraView panoramic sunroof, this V-Series delivers an exceptional combination of luxury and raw performance. In an automotive world where manual transmissions and supercharged V8s are becoming increasingly scarce, the CTS-V Sport Wagon stands as a glorious reminder of an era when Cadillac's engineers were given the freedom to build something truly extraordinary.
Cadillac has always been synonymous with American luxury, and few cars capture the brand's traditional character quite like the 1984 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. With its unmistakable squared-off styling, generous proportions, and unmistakably American road presence, the Coupe DeVille represents an era when personal luxury coupes were designed to make a statement. This particular example takes that philosophy a step further, combining classic Cadillac elegance with a distinctive custom aesthetic. Finished in a vibrant Turquoise Blue custom paint job with a matching padded vinyl roof, this Coupe DeVille features oversized chrome wheels, a lowered stance, and a beautifully coordinated reupholstered tufted leather interior. The custom touches continue into the trunk, where an elaborate audio installation featuring four Audiobahn subwoofers and dual Hifonics Zeus amplifiers brings modern sound to this vintage cruiser. Showing just 20,268 miles, this 1984 Cadillac Coupe DeVille offers an eye-catching combination of old-school American luxury and personalized styling. For enthusiasts who appreciate classic Cadillacs with a custom twist, this turquoise beauty certainly knows how to stand out.
The 1985 Cadillac Eldorado represents the final model year of the tenth-generation Eldorado, a distinctive era when Cadillac combined traditional American luxury with increasingly sophisticated automotive technology. Its imposing proportions, extensive chrome detailing, and unmistakable styling reflect the character of Cadillac's personal luxury coupes before the model underwent a significant redesign and downsizing for 1986. This particular 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe is an attractive example, showing just 23,589 miles and finished in classic Cotillion White over a Black leather interior. Its contrasting Black cabriolet-style vinyl roof, wire-spoke wheel covers, and whitewall tires further enhance its elegant, period-correct appearance. Beneath the hood resides Cadillac's 4.1L HT4100 V8, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission for comfortable grand touring. Inside, leather seating, woodgrain trim, electronic climate control, and Cadillac's innovative fuel data system showcase the luxury and technology of the period. With its low indicated mileage, quintessential 1980s Cadillac styling, and combination of traditional craftsmanship and electronic conveniences, this Eldorado makes an appealing addition to any collection of classic American luxury automobiles.
