This Cool Caddy is in beautiful condition throughout. Underrated for years, the 1985 Seville has been deemed exceptional in Hemmings Motor News, December, 2010. Here are some excerpts from the article:
Bustleback Beauty -
Cadillac Seville
Beneath the Seville's
controversial styling lies what was arguably GM's most advanced chassis to
date.
Let's take this one for a spin. The door opening is fairly narrow
for larger folks, but the super-light steering makes for easy cornering and
handling around town. The flat, plush, button-tuck seats actually keep you in
place very well while the car rolls ever so slightly around the bends.
What the four-wheel disc brake
system lacks in pedal feel, it more than makes up for in actual stopping
ability; the car stops quickly and effectively, without any drama. And if the
Seville owners are to be believed, a 20-22 MPG highway average is regularly
obtained. Suddenly, the benefits of 135hp, a transaxle with overdrive and a
smaller front end to the wind start to prove themselves in a very positive way.
The leather-wrapped tilt wheel
helps enormously when you're getting in. Head and shoulder room are, surprisingly, in the league of the previous Seville; the styling pretensions of
the bustleback model lead you to believe it would be bigger inside, but it's
not. The completely flat floorpan does help, however. The busy driver's armrest
controls all manner of functions, including locks, windows, mirrors and the
pilot's chair; they all work, and they all exude a high level of quality.
It's outfitted with a traditional
interior with leather and faux wood, competing with high-tech digital readouts.
It sold better at the ends of its life than the useful middle. And, of course, it sported that decidedly yesteryear tail treatment on one of GM's most
advanced chassis ever. These contradictory details remain a head scratcher to
some, but they add up to a car that is most assuredly under-rated as one of the
most technologically forward-thinking machines Detroit built at the dawn of the
1980s.
No one would ever restore
one--we're some of the few screwballs who would. And you can't believe the
looks we get! Whenever we're out, we get stories from people--'Oh, my grandpa
had one, ' or 'Mom had one.'
It's such a fun car to
have...my entire staff is dying to ride in that car! They couldn't believe I
have it, and they're begging me to go for a drive.-- Dr. David
Kalemkarian and Aaron Thomas May
Heads turn as the car rolls down the street. From new interior headliner, carpets, flawless blue leather button seats, to exterior paint and like-new soft top, the car is a
beauty
. It also runs well. It passed California's tough smog certification test. I bought the car 20 years ago and became the third owner. All three owners live in Central California.
