It is the worst kept secret in the world that I love the original 1976 to 1979 Cadillac Seville. So not only do I not need a flimsy excuse to write one up, I will do one with no excuse at all. But today I actually have one.
Nick is a friend of mine in New Mexico. And he has some fantastic examples of the Brougham Era, when Detriot didn't make a bunch of sad little gray, black and refrigerator white combovers for fat people as they do in 2026, including a 1967 Imperial LeBaron, a 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood d'Elegance, silver ‘66 Fleetwood Brougham with red leather, and many more.
He even still owns the blue 1973 Oldsmobile 98 Regency that his Dad special ordered new, and Nick himself actually specced out the car at the time!
But today I want to talk about his most recent acquisition this absolutely fantastic and gorgeous 1976 Seville.
As he related, “When I was 18 years old I was friends with all the Cadillac Oldsmobile salesmen and I was totally fascinated by the new Seville that came out in 1976. The salesman let me drive it for a whole day and I was totally smitten! Well here I am 50 years later and I finally got one!”
“This all original 52000 mile example caught my eye and I brought it home! It drives just how I remember it and I am once again in love!”
At first I thought it was Firethorn, but now I am pretty sure it is Emberglow Firemist. Absolutely gorgeous color, especially with the white interior!
It's fantastic. So until next time ladies and germs, keep calm, Brougham on, and ALWAYS tip your bartender!

okay but if you could have exactly the cadillac that you want how would you spec it out?
