1982 Cadillac Seville — White over Blue, Cabriolet Roof, Chrome Wires, Low Miles Why This Car Is Special The 1982 Cadillac Seville sits at an interesting crossroads in American automotive history. When the second-generation Seville arrived for the 1980 model year, Cadillac made a bold design decision — a bustle-back roofline that drew inspiration from classic coachbuilt cars of the 1930s, most notably the formal rear decks of vintage Rolls-Royce and Hooper-bodied British designs. The look was polarizing then and remains polarizing today, which is precisely what makes well-preserved examples so collectible. You either understand what Cadillac was trying to do, or you don't. This 1982 Cadillac Seville presents in white with a blue padded cabriolet vinyl roof and a blue leather interior — one of the more visually composed color combinations available on the second-generation Seville. The odometer shows 54,916 miles, which for a car of this type and era means it has likely spent much of its life garaged. The undercarriage photos confirm it: clean, solid, and free of the heavy rust and rot you typically encounter on survivors from the rust belt. This car almost certainly spent its life in a dry, warm climate. The 1982 model year was the third year of the second-generation Seville's run, which spanned 1980 through 1985. For 1982, Cadillac replaced the troubled V8-6-4 variable displacement engine with the new 4.1-liter V8, addressing one of the most significant mechanical complaints associated with the early second-generation cars. That makes 1982 a meaningful year for Seville buyers who want a cleaner mechanical picture.

Cadillac introduced the HT-4100 specifically for the downsized front-wheel-drive models, and while the engine has a complicated reputation among collectors due to cooling system vulnerabilities that plagued high-mileage examples, a low-mileage car like this one presents a very different proposition. At 54,916 miles, this engine has seen a fraction of the use that causes problems. The key risk factors for the HT-4100 — overheating events, neglected coolant changes, and extended high-mileage wear — are simply less likely in a car that has covered this few miles over four decades. The transmission is the THM 325 3-speed automatic, a front-wheel-drive unit specifically designed for transverse-mounted applications in GM's front-drive luxury and mid-size cars. It pairs with the front-wheel-drive layout that Cadillac adopted for the Seville starting in 1980, a significant engineering departure from the rear-wheel-drive first-generation Seville. The suspension is fully independent at all four corners, which was a genuine selling point over the live-axle rear suspension found on the DeVille and Fleetwood of the same era. Electronic Level Control automatically adjusts rear ride height based on load, using an air compressor and sensors rather than conventional springs alone. Power steering, power front disc br
