One of the sharpest I've ever seen, as well one of the best equipped. Dual six way seats with DUAL power recliners and Astroroof - I've never heard of one before. Final year of genuine Cadillac "big block" with 4 bbl carburtor, and a rare year. Chump change for one of the best overall Cadillacs ever.

Anyone looking for a great Cadillac for under $10K, this is it.

Nice find, I'm going to keep an eye on this one.  She is beautiful.

Would make a great fly and drive road trip  :)

The only trouble with a long distance with a car this quiet and comfortable is managing to stay awake!  ;D

I also noticed the rear fillers are still original wearing the original tape stripe end pieces and the chrome corner pieces still on. Those are always missing when the fillers have been changed. (The corner pieces were used until 1982 on RWD models of this generation.) 

The only issues I can see are the visors which need to be redone (typical) and someone converted the air to R134a.  >:(  That's a job to convert it back to R12 again- that is if you want the air to work as it should.

Interesting,  Its not equipped with opera lamps ?

For whatever reason, Opera Lamps were standard on Coupe deVille d'Elegance but not Sedan deVille d'Elegance.

Why they were not ordered on an otherwise "loaded" car is anybody's guess. Perhaps they simply preferred the appearance of the crest/v insignia on the sail panel...

Either way, I don't think the lack of opera lamps should be a deal breaker on this particular car.
