I binge watch the golden girls all the time on Hulu and always laugh at the same jokes💯 her caddy is clean 💚💚💚 RIP Queen 💛💛💛

My Mom had this car silver on silver!! It was the BEST babe magnet on the planet as a 16 year old!! Lord it was a fun car!!!

Beautiful 😍

A very timely tribute. Well done Bill!

It's very elegant in that color combination. Having been owned by Betty White, and with just 18k miles on it, it's quite collectible. Betty was beloved by all.

The Cadillac that EVERYBODY wanted!

Do you mean this SPECIFC car because it belonged to Betty White? Or are you talking about the Seville in general?

@@davidallen5776 I don't think so at all. I remember when these came out and my parents and grandparents generation complained about them. They thought the price was way too high for such a "small car." Also, it was too technologically advanced for the times so it never really caught on. I do remember one man who my family knew that bought one (he had a lot of money) and I still remember my aunt saying "Ray is crazy and should have his head examined for paying all that money for that little car!"

Beautiful car and lovely color, we will miss you so much Betty

I remember when I had seen this car for sale online several years ago.... RIP Betty....

Betty nicknamed the car Parakeet, due to its unusual color.

Parakeet!

wish you would've shown the whole interior

Even Betty's car is a "Golden Girl".

Those were sweet rides in 1977. An Aunt had one. Rode so smooth on the roads. Miss those days!! Hers was baby blue with white leather interior but no phone.

Very timely tribute very nice car. Betty White will be greatly missed but her memory will live forever

I hope you still have Betty White's 1977 Cadillac Sedan de Ville in your collection too.

99 years old still kicking you go girl

She drives a new Cadillac today.

Love that color!

I could just imagine Betty white driving that beautiful car

While this version of the Seville was a nice looking car, it does share its overall lines with the new '77 Caprice Classic, which I have always liked.

Hope Betty knows where it is now. Shoulda showed more of the interior. Thanks Bill.

1987, I had a '77 Cadillac Seville that I removed the Oldsmobile 350 engine and installed an Oldsmobile W-30 455 engine and Buick Magnum 500 wheels. It was as awesome car. I kept it for 10 years before selling it in '97.

Clean!!!

欲しい、ちょうだい！

Would love a 1976- 1979 black with red leather

This car was being produced in IRAN in 1978 to 1981and still being considered a chic and hit car on streets. so many of them are being restored again... It was called as " Cadillac Iran ".

I had this car in 2005 same color , did you happen to buy this from Florida I’m just curious this was my first car ever on the road in highschool !!! Please let me know I’m just curious. I thought my car was crushed

While looking at this car, I'm thinking of her face when Allen presented this to her... I'm thinking this car was parked outside the studios while they filed the Golden Girls. This is the car in the picture with Carol Channing in the back... I wish we could've heard the horn lolll

Why does he keep looking to his left? Is there something wrong? Is he reading cue cards?

i knew that was her car :)

No interior shots?!

Was this a true optional color from GM?

I wonder how many miles are on it? That phone would not have been installed in '77. AT&T was still Bell System in '77, that phone would have been from after 1984.

Very true! This phone very obviously uses the AMPS system which did not come out until I believe, 1984. While I believe the phone is the cars "original" as he said, the car did not come with it. She had to have it installed at least 7 years after she owned it. From what I've read, the car has only about 18,000 miles on it.

YOu're driving Betty White's car!

thunderstorms06 Ive got a under 40k mile 1976 seville really pretty rare dunbarton green do what I did to my car right when I bought it a smog pump and lines ectomy removal of all the polution crap. that big void between the compressor and the alternator the open veiw of the oil fill tube not covered up by a smog pump on my car im converting the AC to a modern version with bracket and sanden compressor in place were the smog pump was and removing the $600 to replace frigidare A6 compressor but using R12 to keep it cold. have not got the conversion installed yet just getting the parts, the new system may require use of the 1974 nova classic AC conversion kit to be rid of the infamous failing ac heat programmer that says blower no blow lol replacement parts for the aftermarket system 10 times less costly and avaiabilty is no problem. hope its an icy cold seville soon. cadillacs have always had ac problems the down side of the great old school cadillacs.the damned HVAC programmer no longer available there is an inline fuse for the fuel injection computer in the center of steering wheel under dash replace it with a fuse relay and save yourself a tow its sometimes not the computer box, its interupted power via that fuse powering the compter thats bad it gets hot poor contact but doesnt blow so its never discovered. $10 car starts everytime. that fuse was getting hot replaced fuse blade style relay stays cool. good contact to 12volt difficult to do job wires are very short but solved the problem shops will instantly blame the computer box and run up a big bill, get rid of that inline fuse and replce the intank pump rid of the cat converter smog pump and enjoy driving the car

Thunderstorms 06... I also had a '76 Seville in Dunbarton Green, back in the 1980s. It had the white vinyl top and dark teal leather in perfect shape. I sold it and now regret that I did. It was such a unique car. It sounds like you figured quite a few fixes that Cadillac never did. I wish I knew you back then when I owned the car for the years I did. I enjoyed reading your post, thanks 😊

As if the air injection reactor pump reduced power - they actually help tailpipe emissions. So many internal engine changes accompanied low emissions vehicles and people think that removing equipment can improve horsepower output when it’s reduced compression, retarded valve timing and spark timing that kills power output. Bet yours is great with a 455!

That body looks like my 77 Caprice (Coupe), but since the early 70's couldn't tell the difference between caddy and big Chevy., for that matter go back even further back.

No, you're the chairman of the committee.
