1977 Cadillac Seville – Award-Winning Survivor Refinished in Georgian Silver

— a sharp, distinctive survivor that captures Cadillac’s bold late-1970s pivot toward a smaller, more refined luxury car. Aimed squarely at the European luxury machines from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Jaguar, the Seville was Cadillac’s smallest car in decades, and it still looks timeless fifty years on. This example was built during the second week of March 1977 in Detroit, Michigan (VIN code Q), then shipped to American Sunroof Corporation for an aftermarket sunroof. The original ASC sticker remains on the driver’s door jamb, dated August 16, 1977, with a destination dealer of Pat Patterson Cadillac in Oakland, California. Recently refinished and proudly decorated at multiple shows, this is a Seville worth a serious look.

Power steering and power disc brakes for easy, confident control
114.3-inch wheelbase with adjustable rear air shocks to help dial in ride height and stance
Tidy, well-presented engine bay that reflects the care this car has received
