79 Seville Elegante , Beautiful Looking Car, Just Out Of Private Collection on 2040-cars
Wildomar, California, United States

This is a very rare 1979 Seville Elegante. If you like the first series of Caddy Sevilles, the Elegante is the one to have. It has Two-Tone paint, special perforated Leather & Suede seats, a center console with "secretary" stationary table and several other nice touches not found on lesser model Sevilles. The Elegante package was a nearly $3k option when new...... I bought this car a couple of years ago and just put it in my collection in Kansas, where it has sat until 2 weeks ago when I had it shipped out to Cali. I don't know much about the history of the car as I purchased it from a broker out of NY. It would appear to have new paint, new carpet, upholstery, and tires. the headliner is good, but the material looks "thin"..The door panels are good with minor wear on drivers door panel, but nothing more than a little wear on armrest. The dash is good. the paint is very shiny, I don't know how old it is. It is NOT show quality, it is a very good driver quality paint, put on very thick for my standards. Some minor cracking in paint just below rear window trim. The chassis has ZERO rust, some new suspension bushings, and appears to have never been damaged. The chrome on the car is good, some minor pitting here and there as its a 35yo car, but again, VERY NICE LOOKING. The engine is an Olds 350 to my knowledge, and has been converted to a 4-barrel carb at some point. It starts, runs good, doesn't leak ANY fluids, but I'd recommend a full tune up and fluid changes before putting it back on the road.....The wheels are Caddy wire hubcaps, but the originals should be Dayton wire spoke wheels, I do NOT have them, this is how I purchased the car. I was planning on doing a LSA engine swap into this car as a pro-touring sleeper. The RWD Seville is basically the same platform as a Chevy Nova, but with 4-wheel disk brakes and a few other nicer pieces (auto ride height). This car would make a great addition to any collection, just needs to be properly brought back out of hibernation and enjoyed. Due to divorce forcing asset liquidation I must sell this car and several others shortly. This is a very nice car, but it is NOT a $20k car, not yet. If you're a true car guy you WILL be happy at the Buy-it-Now price

Seinfeld and Don Rickles stretch out in classic Caddy for latest CiCGC
Thu, 04 Jul 2013It's no surprise that for the newest episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, airing for the first time on the 4th of July, that a couple of American classics are involved. You'll Never Play the Copa unites Seinfeld with legendary curmudgeon Don Rickles, driving around in a stunner of a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Seville in Gleneagles Green (upholstery wrapped in Grandma-spec plastic, of course).
Mr. Rickles really steals the show in this one - maybe our favorite CiCGC to date - though the Eldorado plays a strong-jawed costarring role, for sure. Stories about Ronald Regan, Frank Sinatra, Billy Graham and, of course, Herkie Styles are more than worth the price of admission. Check it out below.
J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
