Sobro, I agree some radios of that era had a dial that flipped when you switched from FM to AM but the radio pictured in the advertisement is an aftermarket unit. First the frequency numbers are huge, second that wide chrome bezel around the perimeter, lastly the knobs are chrome with black centers (Cadillac radios had heavy pot metal knobs chromed with a gold colored wreath around near the edge). Lastly the factory AM FM radios had a slider bar directly below the dial to change from AM to FM on the non-8-track radios.
Despite dwelling in the green island of British Racing Green, I have never actively sought out this shade but a few have found me, including a shabby Citroen DS, my father's XJ12 and my current smoker, a '99 Lexus GS300. The latter is dark green with dark green cloth and I must say I find it both attractive and restful on the eye. The only issue is to remember to switch the lights on early, lest I be lost in the background foliage.
That is a very handsome car. It’s my favourite Caddy and a truly timeless creation as you point out in your write-up. The dimensions are perfect for a sedan and the tire size is well chosen to fit nicely with the overall design. You just can’t improve on it and that’s very rare.
Love the green all over! I've had numerous bustle back Sevilles and love them but this generation looks so great. The wheels are pushed out wide and it's very athletic looking. Was 76 the only year with a 100mph speedo?
None more green! The first gen Seville is a real knockout styling wise. Most sales were conquest sales from other brands.
GMs biggest blunder...maybe worse than the Cimmaron...was the gen 2 1980 Seville. Replacing the forward thinking, crisp look with that Baroque abomination only stole sales from the 1980 DeVille/Fleetwood (sales of THAT car fell in half even with the handsome B body facelift), and buyers of the gen 1 sheer look were abandoned until the 4th gen in 1992. The nose even looks almost identical to the DeVille. And to top it off they made the Olds diesel standard.
The 1992 Seville finally had the presence and style fitting as a successor to the gen 1.
Paging Jack Baruth this car needs an Ohio home. Your attention to this matter would be appreciated.

If the mileage is correct, its kind of a steal.
Is that an AM radio?
Something looks off with the trunk lid paint
What's with the green wall tires, yuk
And then there is that horrible '60's-'80's GM speedometer
Clearly an after market radio, these can standard wet an AM/FM Delco radio.
The radio dial flipped, revealing the different frequency numbers when you pressed the AM/FM button which is in the row of station preset buttons.
From a quick perusal of its standard features, the AM/FM radio was the only audio offered.

Sure seems like a deal to me. Hopefully the Aces is reliable in this application. I like the green on green for sure.
The title is perfect for this car, yet the music could not be more wrong: https://youtu.be/Aaf-eqg8dvo
If you bought it, I think your experience would be more like this:
