Vehicle Description
There are many who will argue that this 1992 Cadillac Seville is
the car that turned things around for GM's flagship brand. Crisp
styling, great road manners, and a distinctly American personality
made it a winner by any measure, and there may yet come a day when
they become collectable. In the meantime, this is a great
opportunity to own some big American luxury for very little
cash.
The restyled Seville hit the streets and nobody was making fun of
Cadillac anymore. It had performance, handling, comfort, and as
this car ably demonstrates, a great look that stood out from the
crowd. Bright white paint highlights the sleek shape and it remains
100% original, proving once again that you really did get more for
your money with a Cadillac. It's in very good condition thanks to
having lived its life in a warm climate and it was stored indoors,
so there's no UV damage or serious fading anywhere. These cars fit
together quite well and you can see just how tight the gaps are on
this one because there's no place for shoddy work to hide on a
white car. A single red pinstripe adds a little contrast and for
those traditionalists out there, yes, there's still a stand-up hood
ornament out front. Cadillac pioneered the use of LED lights on
automobiles and the full-width third brake light on this car makes
it as distinctive in the dark as it is in the daylight.
At first glance, you'd swear the interior was red cloth, but that's
only because the front seats are wearing nicely fitted seat covers
over the original tan leather. The leather itself is showing its
age, which is fairly common on GM products of the period, and the
cloth makes things a lot more comfortable on warm days. The back
seat remains in excellent condition and shows off the softer
styling that was part of the Seville's new personality. Contrasting
red instrument panel pieces and carpets really work well and that's
real Zebrano wood stretching across the dash and onto the doors.
Everything was standard in the Seville, including A/C, power
windows, locks, seats, and mirrors, cruise control, and a full set
of gauges, including a tach, which was a first for Cadillac.
There's also an AM/FM/CD stereo system and a good-sized trunk
that's ready for a road trip.
Cadillac's 4.9 liter OHV V8 engine was virtually bulletproof by
1992 and pulls the big sedan around with genuine enthusiasm. It's
as smooth as you'd expect for a Cadillac and it has been recently
and extensively serviced, including new belts, plugs, and cleaning
the fuel injectors, plus a fresh oil change less than 50 miles ago.
It starts easily and purrs with a distinctive Cadillac rumble
that's never loud but certainly sounds like eight cylinders.
Underneath, the all-independent suspension is competent but supple,
a great combination if you like to drive but don't want a harsh
ride. It's enhanced with fresh sway bar end links, new front
struts, tie rod ends, and an alignment, so it's solid and smooth,
not sloppy. It's shockingly clean underneath, more evidence of
clean living in a warm climate, and the original wheels were
recently powdercoated so they'll look good practically forever.
Complete with a clean CarFAX, manuals, and service papers, this is
a bargain-priced luxury car that still drives like it should cost
thousands more. Call today!
