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.
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.
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.
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.

In 2003, Cadillac released a luxurious two-door roadster with plenty of features and a high specification. It was meant to be a modern iteration of the personal luxury car segment, and Cadillac based it on the Chevrolet Corvette of the period, although you’d never know unless told. The XLR was made until 2009, and only 15,460 units were produced during this run. Nevertheless, it was the first Cadillac with adaptive cruise control and seats that offered both heating and cooling capabilities. Today, the XLR stands as not just a curio, but a fine modern car that will no doubt evolve into a classic in a decade or so. That’s why you’d be smart to pick up this 9,868-mile 2006 Cadillac XLR that currently resides in Placentia, California. Get your hands on it before the crowd starts clamoring.
This fully restored 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is a prime example of luxury and elegance from the pinnacle of 1980s American automotive design. With only 53,000 original miles, this stunning coupe offers both pristine condition and authenticity. Powered by Cadillac’s refined 4.1L V8 engine and finished in an eye-catching red exterior over an equally luxurious red interior, it effortlessly blends vintage charm with modern touches such as Bluetooth radio connectivity.
The Cadillac Eldorado was the flagship offering of Cadillac, America’s most famous luxury automaker to this day. Made over twelve generations, the Eldorado’s production run started in 1953 and finally bid adieu to the world in 2002. Envisioned to be a two-door personal luxury car, the Eldorado is widely popularized as the vehicle that resulted in the coining of the term “Land Yacht”. Just cast your eyes upon this 31,898-mile, ninth generation 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible and you’ll see why. Stretching at over 224 inches long and taking up almost 80 inches of road width, it’s truly an imposing, hulking beast. Its engine is no less impressive, because Cadillac’s answer to the stranglehold of the Malaise Era was to simply upsize the cubic inch capacity to commercial vehicle level numbers. Now, you can have your very own Land Yacht, as this reportedly all-original car is up for sale in Topanga, California.

With elegant styling, luxury appointments, and robust American power, this fully restored 1963 Buick Electra 225 two-door hardtop captures the essence of classic early '60s motoring.
