Interesting car.   1974 is my favorite 1970's Cadillac due to the egg crate grille.  Here is one without the dreaded vinyl roof. Yet, pretty well equipped.  Does it matter 50 years later if it's a Calais?  I don't think so.  It has the same shape as the CdV.  And is considered better for having no problematic vinyl roof.

I really liked it until I saw the upholstery.  Thanks for posting, Bryan.

Jim,  There's likely some kind of "scarcity value" with that upholstery.  Likely THE ONLY car in the WORLD with that pattern and color.    James

  So that's what they used our old lawn furniture for. I've always wondered what happened to it.
 Yes, that's definitely a 70's style material design. Reminds me of my mom's choice of kitchen appliance color when I was a kid.
 I thought it had rust through on the roof until I saw another view of the issue, it's just the paint wearing thin in areas, commonly referred to as patina for those of us who can't afford a new paint job.
 I really like this body style, very nice car. Thanks for posting.

The link is just taking me to FB Marketplace general page, not the listing of the car.

Just to clarify, the Calais was available with full vinyl roof for the first time in 1974- only on the Coupe. Cabriolet roof was not available from the factory.
