This was my first car in 1996. Bought it from my Grandmother. The Plastic trim pieces at the trunk were notorious for cracking and I noticed you had just about removed them from this one. This car was ahead of its time with 4 wheel disc brakes and fuel injection. I believe the engine was a 350 Olds from the factory. The fuel injection was more of a throttle body though
Classy car and classy video. No speech or stupid music. Nothing extra is necessary when you have possession of something this good. This was pleasant, thank you.
42 years old and still Stunning!! Hey Cadillac, take note, this is what America wants.. not everyone wants to drive a SUV/SAV. This would be perfect for todays customer. If you built something like this again, I would trade-in my Mercedes E Class...
I had this fine example of Caddy brand new in 79. Not an elegante, but, a nicely equipped Seville. I loved it for it was easy to park,drive, & long distance traveler . It got decent MPGs but, only bc it was an Olds 350 w/fuel injection. Not exactly perfect injection systems for it had vapor lock problems. Mine also had the Astroroof, I was able to feel the hold back on the highway w/roof fully open. Loved the 4note horn. Even my K9 recognized it. My true spokes with VOGUE tyres completed the formal look with the opera lamps. Caddy screwed the Seville with the following model & fwd. Yuck. The square Seville as they were known was a Nova that was maximized in more ways than 1. But, we paid for all that XTRA engineering. Worth it. AWESOME MASTERPIECE.

Despite this post is two years old, I just saw it and many wonderful memories came up to my mind. I had exactly the same model and colors etc but with the unreliable mechanical clock in the center, here in Switzerland. I bought it beginning of the 80ies relatively cheap and added 200 K miles without any major issues and it was still running fine. But then the leather converted more and more into dust and the rust was eating the rear third of the car. So I had to made a hard decision in 97. Sometimes I really regret that I didn't kept it as a restauration project. 😄 But I already have tree wonderful cars and no space for long term projects. Yea one of them is a caddy too, but far away from the quality and comfort of the 79 model. It's a 87 deVille convertible classic Cadillac whatever art model. Very rare, at least here in Europe, but also very crappy 😆
I was surprised to see the digital clock was deleted and a Seville emblem in its place. My 1979 was yellow with Astro Roof with all the options! loved that car. One I wish I still had! handled very nicely!
this is one example where GM actually got away with badge engineering. Take a Chevy Nova platform and give it nice everything and this is the result. Too bad they screwed it up so badly with the Cimarron. I was told by owners of the Seville back in that time period that they were good performers as well. The black and silver with the wire wheels was a great looking combination. Very nice.
@AJ67901: This was too extensive of a modification to be a 'badge engineering' job. They revamped the 'X' platform so much so that this car was on a different 'K' platform. It's Nova 'X' car fundamentals, but the similarities stop there. 4 Wheel disc brakes, standard electronic fuel injection, available digital dash with trip computer, specific ride and handling characteristics etc, the list goes on. If anything they learned how to cheapen things out in future models due to the research and development cost of this car.
@@TeeroyHammermill You're exactly right. I never understood why this car gets such a bad wrap for its Nova platform when, even today, VW and Audi share way more DNA. The Seville was a remarkable car and, considering its eye-watering price in the inflation-plagued late 70s, sold very, very well.
@@drewburk6309 Bought this year model form my Grandmother as my first car in 1996. Still had the original window sticker in the glove box and the price was $15K in 1979. Almost $57K in todays money.
Who swapped out the wire wheels & put hubcaps on the car was it like this before you got it or did you swap the OEM wires out this a travesty to such a beautiful classic ,Without the wheels it changes the value & desirability, Nevertheless whoever bought I'm sure they're happy
If Cadillac had kept this body style as well as the design for the El Dorado that came out in the same year as this - they would still be selling them in droves today - the Cadillac dealers hated to see this Seville body style go - they sold as fast as they could get them in - the hump backs of 1980 and beyond were sales disasters.

Real carpeting too!!
They offer the CT5 Series nowadays 2020-2024. Beautiful cars, well engineered.

Beautiful Classic my sister’s dream car still available
When I was 8 years old my sister and I flipped a burgundy one 6 times in front my parents I loved that car it was beautiful

never realized it was based on the nova but I can see it now!

Nova
Omega
Ventura
Apollo
Seville
NOVAS!
Indeed the boxy Seville were the best … that’s what influenced the song : Olivia the slave . ….. 🎶 🎵 don’t buy that man no Seville!
NICE..... and very refined
I always like that model way ahead of it's time
I have this exact car but without the sunroof.
If it had the original factory wire wheels it would be gone already
Who swapped out the wire wheels & put hubcaps on the car was it like this before you got it or did you swap the OEM wires out this a travesty to such a beautiful classic ,Without the wheels it changes the value & desirability, Nevertheless whoever bought I'm sure they're happy
Seville at its best. Cadillac never topped this model’s style. Next model after was a sad excuse.
I'd say the 86-91 models were the bottom feeders.
Class I used to have one like this beautiful classic car. I am looking for one like it. Is it available now?
Exquisite car, great pix.
The car is missing one main piece THE FACTORY WIRE WHEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And rear bumper filler trim
If Cadillac had kept this body style as well as the design for the El Dorado that came out in the same year as this - they would still be selling them in droves today - the Cadillac dealers hated to see this Seville body style go - they sold as fast as they could get them in - the hump backs of 1980 and beyond were sales disasters.
Does it include the original wire wheels it came with originally?
How much?
TEC1 YEAH.RYDER.😂
I’d like to buy it
Reminds of sheriff LoBo.😛🎃
Do want to sell it
Those wheels are shit change them and you got a gem!!
And look at the cars now…
Plastic junk with electronics that serve no purpose but braking and costing a fortune
