Beautiful, meticulously maintained, freeway driven, totally stock and original, rust-free (other than light surface), great running and driving 1977 Cadillac Seville that was owned by a retired 2 Star General in the Air Force (check out the Nellis AFB sticker on the front bumper - 2 Stars) and has spent the last 27 years in the dry, desert climate of inland Southern California and Southern Utah. This is an estate sale (title is clear and transferable) that I'm conducting on behalf of a friend of a friend whose husband passed in December. And when I say meticulous, I'm not kidding. I have a 2 inch thick file of receipts and detailed notes written by the owner regarding upkeep and repairs. The depth of record keeping is incredible. When they purchased it in 1987, it had been owned by a little old lady and only had 27,723 miles on the odometer.
Mechanically, it's in excellent, original condition. Based on the receipt history (see below for an excerpt), there is a possibility the odometer has turned over twice. If that is correct, you would never know based on interior/exterior condition and how it drives. Overwhelmingly diligent maintenance and almost all freeway miles (virtually wear-free) are clearly in evidence here. The only flaw I can find is a minor exhaust leak. These Cadillac's came from the factory with fuel injection which gives them a civility rivaling today's cars. It starts, runs, accelerates, turns, brakes and stops extremely well. And it drives very tightly/solidly with no rattles or squeaks. Talk about an awesome, classy, practical, low-maintenance, vintage daily driver. The body is in extremely good condition with no accident history and original paint. The vinyl top has aged well but has some light sun cracking (barely visible). The trunk is pristine and still has the original space-saver spare tire (see pics). The undercarriage still looks great. It's only flaws are some easily replaceable, brittle plastic molding (the downside to a dry, desert climate) pieces that have broken away between the bumper and body in the rear and surface rust in several places where the paint has simply deteriorated after 37 years (see pics). There is no rust-through anywhere. Notwithstanding paint wear, the body itself has aged exceptionally well. And all the hard-to-find trim is still there and in great shape. Other than a few dash cracks and sun-baked fabric trim around door frames, the interior is in wonderful, original condition. It's so good it makes me very skeptical of the miles. Doors open and close solidly. Electric windows roll up and down smoothly. Seats, carpet, headliner, door panels, etc., are in great condition (see pics). Everything seems to work well other than the antenna (won't go up/down) and digital clock. The AC compressor works properly but does not blow cold. I suspect it only needs a recharge. And the original radio was long-ago swapped out for a Pioneer cassette deck. My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of pictures that show every nook and cranny in great detail. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. And you may want to consider flying in and driving it home. That would be a blast and I'd be happy to help facilitate it. This sweet 1977 Cadillac Seville is located in the dry, desert community of St. George, Utah (a little over 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Good luck and good bidding. Just an addendum. Below is an incomplete summary of some of the maintenance records in the 2 inch thick history file. Thought you may find it valuable... * New Battery * AC Compressor * AC Evaporator * Fuel Pressure Regulator * Electric Fuel Pump * Fuel Filter * Ignition Module * Exhaust System * Alternator * Tires (6000 Miles Ago But Light Cracking From Sitting) * Heater Core * Smog Pump * Brake Pads & Rotors * Windshield Washer Pump * Fan Belts * Shocks All Around (Rear Air Shocks) * Pitman Arm Seal Because of the excellent maintenance (and the above info just scratches the surface) and type of miles driven (mostly freeway), in my opinion this Seville runs and drives as if it has low miles. |

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad
Fri, 05 Jul 2013European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.
Cadillac toned down ATS Coupe design due to customer feedback [w/poll]
Tue, 02 Sep 2014Automakers always face a difficult decision when it comes to styling their cars. Design them too blandly and nobody will get excited about them. But style them too aggressively and they'll often end up turning off potential buyers.
Cadillac, for its part, is no stranger to aggressive design, but when it came to the new ATS Coupe, it elected to tone things down a bit. Speaking with The Detroit News in a wide-ranging interview, Cadillac design director Bob Boniface revealed that the original design for its compact coupe was edgier - closer to that of the CTS Coupe - with a wedgier profile, a more steeply raked beltline and a more severe grille. But potential customers surveyed in clinics apparently didn't like it. They found it looked heavy, inefficient and not fun to drive. So Boniface and his team literally went back to the drawing board and "took as much visual mass out of the car as [they] could." The resulting coupe, while handsome, looks far more similar to its four-door companion than did Cadillac's CTS.
What do you think, does the new ATS Coupe look just right, or is it too conservative? Voice your opinion in our quick online poll.
Hotter Cadillac CT4-V prototype spied testing at GM's Proving Grounds
Thu, Jun 27 2019Cadillac already teased us once with the hotter CT4-V and CT5-V at the Belle Isle Grand Prix, but these photos are still the best look yet at what's next for the Cadillac V-Series. The car we're looking at in heavy camouflage here is a high-performance CT4, but we don't really have a name to call it at this point. Cadillac hasn't said, so it could be anything. We'll just refer to it as the faster V, as it's certainly looking a bit more racy than the warmed-over CT4-V already revealed. While the styling isn't drastically different from the CT4-V already out there, the front intake and openings look deeper and more aggressive. The middle, raised section of the hood is a little taller and the whole front-end design looks a lot like the one teased in Belle Isle. This vehicle even appears to have the same mirror design as the faster V. The side sills, quad exhaust tips and wide rear tires lend this prototype an aggressive look, but we did note that it doesn't have the big ducktail spoiler we saw teased previously. Maybe Cadillac is trying to keep a low profile while testing. A keen eye will notice a wild apparatus attached to the front, which would serve as a great jousting pole if you were into that kind of thing. We don't know exactly when Cadillac plans to introduce the faster V machines, but we wouldn't doubt if it happened before the year was out. The ATS-V and CTS-V didn't look wholly different than the pedestrian versions of those cars, and this prototype indicates Caddy may follow a similar pattern this time around. All will be explained from GM soon, but for now, we wait.
