The first-year 1976 Cadillac Seville is an interesting treat. Built to compete with the Europeans while still not losing its Cadillac style, it represents a hint of a sporty attitude added to its traditional luxury personality. You see that in features like the fuel-injected powerhouse. So if this sounds appealing to you, the affordable price on this loaded example should make it irresistible.
This was the first year for a new car that brought a whole new dimension to Cadillac. The Seville has the unmistakable crisp style and vinyl roof we expect from a classic Caddy sedan. But this also doesn't qualify for the same kind of “land barge” image that some of the other American luxury cars had in the 1970s. Instead, the designers took their time slimming it down correctly - making it look athletic, not anemic. Flared fenders, chrome bumpers, and well-integrated lines make it a true contender. The factory-correct Phoenician Ivory paint was given a respray later in life, and the upgraded wire wheels have cool Vogue tires. But the overall impression will be more like a survivor car. And that's quite attractive when the fundamentals like the body panels look this good. So while you could ... Please ask for the full description.

The first-year 1976 Cadillac Seville is an interesting treat. Built to compete with the Europeans while still not losing its Cadillac style, it represents a hint of a sporty attitude added to its traditional luxury personality. You see that in features like the fuel-injected powerhouse. So if this sounds appealing to you, the affordable price on this loaded example should make it irresistible.
This was the first year for a new car that brought a whole new dimension to Cadillac. The Seville has the unmistakable crisp style and vinyl roof we expect from a classic Caddy sedan. But this also doesn't qualify for the same kind of "land barge" image that some of the other American luxury cars had in the 1970s. Instead, the designers took their time slimming it down correctly - making it look athletic, not anemic. Flared fenders, chrome bumpers, and well-integrated lines make it a true contender. The factory-correct Phoenician Ivory paint was given a respray later in life, and the upgraded wire wheels have cool Vogue tires. But the overall impression will be more like a survivor car. And that's quite attractive when the fundamentals like the body panels look this good. So while you could utilize the value price to budget for personalization/upgrades, we also just like this landmark car looking like an enduring legend.
There is more of the European influence inside, and it starts with the front bucket seats. But Cadillac did it to their standards by offering plenty of wide bolstering, nice leather, and individual fold-down armrests. So you power adjust your seat to the best comfortable driving position. These cars came loaded right from the factory. After all, the Seville started out more expensive than the larger and heavier DeVille line. So you got the best features of the time like power windows, power side mirror, power locks, cruise control, tilt steering column, plenty of wood-like trim, and an AM/FM stereo (now with a well-integrated CD changer in the trunk.) There are also provisions for factory air conditioning but it will need servicing to blow cold again. And while many imports would have small back seats, Cadillac remembered that luxury motoring often means leaving plenty of room for family and friends.
The Seville was one of the last cars to utilize Oldsmobile's excellent 350 cubic-inch V8, and it has the right look of originality, right down to the blue block and golden air topper. Cadillac gave the Seville electronic fuel injection - a true rarity for 1970s machines. It makes for a smoother and more steadfast V8 cruiser. The Seville utilized its own platform that offered a better luxury ride than other midsize cars within GM. That's combined with a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes w/front discs, and sway bars front & rear to deliver proper luxury in a confident driving package.
This is an interesting classic. If the BMW of classic Caddies sounds appealing to you, this survivor-style first-year Seville is just the ticket. Call today!!!
