Vehicle Description
The first-generation Cadillac Seville was built to compete with the
Europeans while still not losing its Cadillac style. It represents
a hint of a sporty attitude added to its traditional luxury
personality. So if this sounds appealing to you, this affordable
triple-black sedan should have you quite interested.
The Seville has the unmistakable crisp style we expect from a
classic Caddy sedan. But this also doesn't qualify for the same
kind of "land barge" image that some of the other American luxury
cars had in the1970s. Instead, the designers took their time
slimming it down correctly - making it look athletic, not anemic.
Flared fenders, chrome bumpers, and well-integrated lines make it a
true contender. So you'll love it right down to details, like the
waterfall grille that appears like it flows through the bumper. And
the true sophistication of this one comes from the color combo.
Black paint and a black vinyl roof are timelessly stylish. The full
package looks highly original, and that means you can identify some
use over 40+ years. But the crisp/clean lines let you know this
range-topping Cadillac has been treated with the proper respect it
deserves. There's even a silver pinstripe for an elegant way to
show off the straight body panels.
The black leather interior joins the paint and roof to deliver the
ultra-desirable triple-black package. There's more of the European
influence with bucket seats. But Cadillac did it to their standards
by offering plenty of bolstering and individual fold-down armrests.
The front seats even individually power adjust for the ideal
comfort position. The Seville started out more expensive than the
larger and heavier DeVille line, and so you got the best features
of the time. This includes cruise control, power windows, power
locks, and a moonroof (a rarely seen feature on Cadillacs of this
era.) Plus, the air conditioning has been updated to modern R134a
refrigerant, but it will need servicing to blow cold again. And
while many imports would have small back seats, Cadillac remembered
that luxury motoring often means leaving plenty of room for family
and friends.
The Seville was one of the last cars to utilize Oldsmobile's
excellent 350 cubic-inch V8. This one appears to be original, right
down to the blue paint on the block and the big black air topper.
But if you look closely, you'll notice a four-barrel carburetor has
been added to make this easier for everyday servicing. The Seville
utilized its own platform that offered better isolation than other
midsize cars within GM. That's combined with a three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, four-wheel power disc
brakes, and sway bars front & rear, to deliver proper luxury in a
nimble package.
If the BMW of classic Caddies sounds interesting to you, this
value-priced Seville is just the ticket. Call today!!!
