Cadillac may have been renowned for gargantuan land yachts in the Fifties and Sixties, but by the Seventies, the Malaise Era was in full swing, and customers were downsizing. America's best-known luxury brand knew that they needed a smaller car. Cue the Seville, which debuted in 1975. Named after a Spanish province rich in history and art, Cadillac would keep the nameplate going until 2004, when the STS replaced it. This 1978 Cadillac Seville is a fine first-generation reminder of what a relatively downsized Cadillac was like at the beginning of its life. This car has seen 100,000 miles, but the current owner reports it to have undergone some freshening up.
Mint Green is a very Seventies color, and this 1978 Cadillac Seville is a Seventies car. Thus, it looks like a time capsule from the past. Quad headlamps, chrome bumpers, a squarish shape, and a top in a darker hue all contribute to its charm. Take a closer look, and you'll note the requisite badging, as well as chrome wheels, which have reportedly received new tires. Overall, the car appears to be in great condition, save for some surface rust here and there that can easily be addressed by a capable body shop. Inside, it's quintessential American luxury within what's said to be an original interior. We see power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, cruise control, climate control with air conditioning, intermittent wipers and a push-button radio. All these controls are ensconced within plenty of wood trim that has aged but in a good way. Rear seat passengers receive map lights with the Cadillac crest next to them, as well as ashtrays, in an era when smoking within the confines of a car was the norm. Speaking of seats, they're all plush and comfy; you'll sink into them happily.
This 1978 Cadillac Seville is powered by a 350ci (5.7L) V8 with electronic fuel injection that drives the rear wheels via a THM-400 three-speed automatic gearbox. The current owner reports that the car has received a recent oil change, tune-up, and new brakes. Power output when new was said to be 180hp, which is ample for a luxury car that's meant to be driven in a smooth and careful manner.
The Cadillac Seville was Caddy's stab at the personal luxury car segment, and they took it to new levels altogether. Debuting for the 1976 model year, you could buy an Seville all the way up to 2004. This 1976 Cadillac Seville Bicentennial Edition is from the first generation and was made to celebrate America's 200th Birthday. Up for sale with 70,300 miles on the clock, it's a great symbol of Americana for you to purchase and drive, as well as a savvy investment.

When the Seville debuted in 1976, it was the smallest Caddy on sale, which is really saying something since it was still classed as a mid-size luxury car. Seville is derived from the name of a Spanish province that's renowned for its rich history and art culture. You can see where Cadillac was going with this, especially when you cast your eyes upon the opulence that this 1978 Cadillac Seville Grandeur Opera Coupe exudes. With just 63,000 miles on the odo, it's quite lightly used and ready to serve its next owner with grace and dignity.
Throughout the years Cadillac has been perceived as an automotive brand that's best enjoyed in the passenger seat, it's meant for cruising in style and class with any mention of performance coming second. Throw it back to the 2000s and that wasn't the case, Cadillac broke away from its silky smooth personality and gave the world the XLR, a machine built to take on performance powerhouses with blistering performance and style. Present today is this 2006 Cadillac XLR Roadster, this modern classic is the perfect balance of performance and Cadillac luxury and is reported to have only 96,539 miles on its clock.
Among those who enjoy driving about in good-looking cars, there is a small group who prefer the look of a mundane car with a classic historic flare. If that is your cup of tea, this 1993 Cadillac Allante is an excellent choice for you. While it blends well with day-to-day traffic, it boasts a stately personality. After all, it is a Cadillac. It was marketed as a two-seater luxury roadster, so it looks even classy with its top down. The Allante model saw a seven-year production run and the bodies were built in Italy by iconic coachbuilder Pininfarina. Our subject example only has 65,000 miles on its clock and is currently residing in Florida. Its owner claims that it comes with 3 keys and all the service is up to date.
The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
Do you want a muscle car experience in a compact car body? That’s what Plymouth aimed to provide, with the Duster. Made between 1969 and 1976, the Duster was their two-door coupe in the compact car segment. However, Plymouth still endowed it with V8s of varying capacities, ensuring that buyers didn’t get the typically pedestrian performance that came with compact cars. If you’re interested in getting your hands on a Duster, check out this 1970 Plymouth Duster Restomod that’s for sale right now. The car has been completely restored and rocks some neat modern features.
Triumph was a well-known British sports car maker for decades. The cars were made by the Standard Motor Company of Coventry, and they offered enthusiastic buyers the typical British roadster experience of the wind in your hair and a pert little sports car to hustle around country roads. Naturally, Americans would get to experience these cars too, as evidenced by this 1962 Triumph TR3A that’s for sale right now. The car reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration in 2015, making it nice and fresh for its new owner to enjoy.
The iconic AC/Shelby Cobra is one of the most sought-after British-American sports cars in the world. The result of a collaboration between Carroll Shelby and British firm AC Cars, the Cobra saw less than 1,000 examples built in total. Today, genuine AC Cars/Shelby Cobras fetch millions of dollars, which is why you’ll be grateful to know that there are plenty of replicas. Massachusetts-based Factory Five Racing is one such firm which has made some Cobra replicas, such as this 1965 Ford Cobra by Factory Five Racing that’s now for sale. Bearing just 32,735 miles on the clock, here’s your chance to own as close to an original Cobra as possible – right down to the Ford V8 that makes it go!
