This is a very rare 1979 Seville Elegante. If you like the first series of Caddy Sevilles, the Elegante is the one to have. It has Two-Tone paint, special perforated Leather & Suede seats, a center console with "secretary" stationary table and several other nice touches not found on lesser model Sevilles. The Elegante package was a nearly $3k option when new...... I bought this car a couple of years ago and just put it in my collection in Kansas, where it has sat until 2 weeks ago when I had it shipped out to Cali. I don't know much about the history of the car as I purchased it from a broker out of NY. It would appear to have new paint, new carpet, upholstery, and tires. the headliner is good, but the material looks "thin"..The door panels are good with minor wear on drivers door panel, but nothing more than a little wear on armrest. The dash is good. the paint is very shiny, I don't know how old it is. It is NOT show quality, it is a very good driver quality paint, put on very thick for my standards. Some minor cracking in paint just below rear window trim. The chassis has ZERO rust, some new suspension bushings, and appears to have never been damaged. The chrome on the car is good, some minor pitting here and there as its a 35yo car, but again, VERY NICE LOOKING. The engine is an Olds 350 to my knowledge, and has been converted to a 4-barrel carb at some point. It starts, runs good, doesn't leak ANY fluids, but I'd recommend a full tune up and fluid changes before putting it back on the road.....The wheels are Caddy wire hubcaps, but the originals  should be Dayton wire spoke wheels, I do NOT have them, this is how I purchased the car. I was planning on doing a LSA engine swap into this car as a pro-touring sleeper. The RWD Seville is basically the same platform as a Chevy Nova, but with 4-wheel disk brakes and a few other nicer pieces (auto ride height).  This car would make a great addition to any collection, just needs to be properly brought back out of hibernation and enjoyed. Due to divorce forcing asset liquidation I must sell this car and several others shortly.  This is a very nice car, but it is NOT a $20k car, not yet. If you're a true car guy you WILL be happy at the Buy-it-Now price

Meet the other Cadillac wagon. It's as American as ABBA

Tue, Aug 16 2022

The Cadillac CTS Wagon became a cult classic the second it went on sale. We all knew that it was never going to sell in anything approaching significant numbers, and if that "we" didn't include those actually working at GM, one would have to wonder what they were smoking. Cadillac was still having a hard enough time trying to convince people that it was now a BMW-fighting sport luxury brand rather than the purveyor of Grandpa-piloted land yachts. To many, a sport sedan like the CTS seemed like a stretch. But a CTS sport wagon? It sure seemed like GM was just doing things for funzies, an impression only enhanced by the CTS-V Wagon. Forget cult classic. That thing was an instant legend.  And yet, the CTS wasn't the only Cadillac of that era offered as a wagon. It wasn't even the first. Before GM said "to hell with it, let's have some fun" on this side of the pond, over in Europe, it had already taken a page from its old badge-engineering playbook to create the 2006 Cadillac BLS Wagon. It was available as a sedan, too, but its awkward majesty is best enjoyed as the long-roof model.  There's just something off about the whole thing, right? That's probably because it also looks vaguely familiar, as if you've seen it before. So where the hell does this thing come from? Sweden! Behind that Cadillac Art and Science face is a Saab 9-3, and in the case of the BLS Wagon, the Saab 9-3 Sport Combi wagon. The roofline is the dead giveaway, as no other wagon has ever looked like that. In fact, the roof and windows were the only exterior elements to copy directly over from 9-3 to BLS. No kidding. With the Cadillac front end, doesn't the Saab-funky-boxiness make it look like a miniature hearse? The answer is yes. GM's design team, led by Ed Welburn, was quite pleased with his work. Perhaps it even egged him on to create a real Cadillac sport wagon? "The whole team was very excited to apply Cadillac's design language to a wagon for the first time," said Welburn in a press release from the time. "The V-shaped chrome-plated grille, a Cadillac hallmark, is picked up again by the shape of the rear window, and the body side character lines make it unmistakably a Cadillac." The interior is surprisingly different from the 9-3, including the ignition switch migrating from the center console up to the steering column. It also wasn't exactly in keeping with the Cadillac norm of the time.

Watch the 2019 Autoblog Technology of the Year presentation to Cadillac

Wed, Jan 16 2019

Autoblog presented our 2019 Technology of the Year Award to Cadillac at the Detroit Auto Show. Autoblog conducted rigorous testing last fall on the latest automotive technologies, and Cadillac Super Cruise earned top honors, edging out Infiniti's Variable Compression Turbo and Mercedes' EQ technologies, the other two finalists. Super Cruise is a semi-autonomous system that allows for hands-free driving to reduce the driver's workload. Our editors found it easy to use and noted the system simply works as intended. We happily found Cadillac under-promised and over-delivered with Super Cruise, a clever system that truly helps the driver. Super Cruise launched on the CT6 sedan, and Cadillac plans to roll out the feature to other vehicles. Watch the video above as Cadillac President Steve Carlisle receives the 2019 Autoblog Technology of the Year Award from Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore, with Autoblog GM Adam Morath and the editorial team on hand at the Detroit show.
