In this video we share the 1976 Cadillac Seville that we recently bought from a local man named Don who commissioned famed car designer Bill Cushenbery to recreate his 4 door hard top Seville into a sleek 2 door convertible. we are fortunate to have such a masterpiece in our inventory, we share the repairs we've done to bring this beautiful car back to it's proper status.

    Though I normally have contempt for used car salesmen, I understand that to sell used cars one must play the part yet this man seems to present as a decent sort. Regardless, this car seems to be exceptional on many levels and it is modified in good taste and remains an overall practical vehicle. Many Modified and Customized Seville automobiles were the Gaudy Yellow Clown Cars (getting scarce to find) that were mostly befitting "Pimps" and Aged "Gold Chainers". This car is unique and has broad appeal to many people. No doubt that given the cars history and well kept condition, the price will be quite bloated yet one is not likely to encounter another one.

    Thank you for the information, I didn't know about the Milan's. What I saw online would indicate that Mr Cushenbery did this conversion after the Milan's were being built. Also saw that the Milan's were priced at 39k back in 1979! Big money back then.

    Interesting custom modification with the convertible top. The way the roof protrudes up in the down position reminds me of similar vintage RR Corniches of the era with the button down tonneau covers. There was a Seville Opera Coupe version at the local Cadillac dealer in the late 1970's, but this imo is a nicer version. Someone's dream looking for a good home.

    The first generation, 1976-1979 Cadillac Sevilles were, without a doubt, some of the best designed, well proportioned, and thoroughly well-engineered automobiles of their time. However, when chop shops began getting their hands on them like this abomination illustrated, there should have been a law that would prohibit anyone reselling it as a Cadillac. This ungainly, ill-proportioned monstrosity needs to head to the crusher. Those JC Whitney mirrors are horrific. This Seville has been completely destroyed. Very, very sad to see what was a beautiful car, now butchered.
