DRIVING GEORGIA CAR; 62K MILES FROM NEW Countering fast-growing
Mercedes-Benz sales and expansion of archrival Lincolns model range
during the early 1970s, Cadillac began development of a new
'International' sized car in 1973, based on the newly redesigned
X-Body Nova. Launched in May 1975, the resulting Seville remains
one of the finest designs under GM Styling chief Bill Mitchell. A
four-door, vinyl-roof sedan was the sole model offered and the only
options offered on these fully equipped cars were a power sunroof
and choice of sound systems. The driveline included Oldsmobiles 350
CI V-8, upgraded with a Cadillac intake manifold and Bendix
electronic fuel injection, driving a GM Turbo-Hydramatic automatic
transmission. Priced in line with Cadillacs senior models, the
limited-production Seville enjoyed strong demand. Careful updates
during 1975-79 first-series production included choice styling and
chassis tweaks and by 1979, 4-wheel disc brakes. High-profile
product placements included use on TVs Rockford Files and Charlie's
Angels. Featuring nice colors and retaining 100% original paint,
this 1979 Cadillac Seville is an exceptionally original vehicle. A
Georgia-based example from new, this 1979 Seville has recently
emerged from 30 years of storage and according to a recent test
drive, it continues to deliver excellent road manners. Loaded with
features and options, the Seville includes power brakes and
steering, plus power-operated mirrors, individual front seats and
windows. Comfort and convenience items include air conditioning, an
AM-FM radio and factory power sunroof. While the prior Georgia
registration states miles exempt, the Sevilles approximately 62,000
indicated miles at the time of writing are believed original.
Riding on a set of Cadillac chrome wire wheels mounting whitewall
radial tires, this 1979 Cadillac Seville is a rare and very
desirable find as an unmodified, survivor-type example of one of
the most successful Cadillac models ever produced. Find out more
