Up for auction is a 1978 Cadillac Coupe Deville showing 53,078 miles, but the true miles are unknown. The car presents in good condition and the engine cranks and runs on 2+2.

Exterior
Sterling Blue covers the car with single stage application, complemented here by the white vinyl landau style top with fixed quarter windows and exterior coach lamps. Quad headlights sit flush with the front and flank the eggcrate grille while in the back, vertical slit tail lights housed in chrome define the brand and a massive decklid becomes vertical to meet the straight chrome bumper. 15-inch chrome wire wheel covers hold white wall tires and we could find no major flaws on the exterior.

Interior
Light blue vinyl mixes with simulated dark wood on the door panels to create handsome and robust units where the door handle is housed in a chrome cove and switches are backed by brushed aluminum, along with the ashtrays. The blue leather split bench is in decent shape with some minor wear noted on the driver's side including a small seam split. The rear bench and sidewalls are in good shape. The dash is a simple array of shiny woodgrain panels and a horizontal instrument cluster housing the speedometer, with some switches to the left and the AM/FM radio in the center stack, along with the A/C panel. The open floor is covered in plush blue carpet which is also found on the kick panels of the doors. The trunk is protected by a black carpeted mat.

Drivetrain
Clean conditions are found under the hood where we find the 425ci V8, rated at 180 horsepower and fueled by a 4-barrel carburetor. Behind it, a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission sending power to the 10 bolt axle and 2.28 gears. Power brakes are supplied with discs up front and drums in the rear.

Undercarriage
The car is equipped with coil spring suspension up front and a 4 link with coil springs in back. A single exhaust system would carry a stock style muffler before exiting in back.

Drive-abilityThe car cranks and runs on 2+2.
