 1978 Cadillac Seville |
 |
| Our 1978 Seville is the quintessential "little old lady" car. The original owner ordered every available option including stock Cadillac wire wheels and the Cadillac CB-radio. Super care and maintenance plus low mileage until we purchased it last year. Everything works, including the power antenna! |
A visitor to this web site informs me that the deep dish wire
wheels are not stock Cadillac. That may be, however they do have
Cadillac emblems on the hubs and they came with the car new from
the Cadillac dealer. Weight 4,179 lbs. Price New $14,710 56,985 were produced |

| In the early seventies Cadillac decided it should go for a "compact" car. Halfway through 1975 a new Cadillac appeared on the American market. At 27" shorter, 8" narrower and 800 lbs lighter than a regular DeVille, it truely was a revelation . This new Seville featured Oldsmobile's proven 350 cid V8, but was now equipped with electronic fuel injection, an industry first on the American market. Though it was the smallest Cadillac, it was nonetheless the most expensive one too (except for limited production Fleetwood 75 series). At a list price $14.710 the 1978 Seville featured almost everything a man could dream of, plus a whole range of options and toys which could be specially ordered. This was a splendid automobile which gained a lot of praise all over the world. As a matter of fact, surveys have later shown that Cadillac succeeded in slowing down Mercedes-Benz' growth in the US, with the introduction of the Seville. |
