For the 1980 model year, Cadillac moved the Seville to the 114 in wheelbase K-body, based on the front-wheel drive E-body Eldorado, Buick Riviera and Oldsmobile Toronado. Returning to some of the original concepts floated for the 1975 edition, the rear styling was intended to invoke the look of Daimlers of a past era. In the U.S., The bustle-back styling was imitated by the 1982-1987 Lincoln Continental sedan, and the 1981-1983 Chrysler Imperial coupe. The new model, one of the last vehicles designed by GM's Bill Mitchell, featured front-wheel drive and independent rear suspension. The Seville initiated features that would become more traditional in later years. This particular 1980 Cadillac Seville is an all original example that just rolled over 12,000 ORIGINAL miles! The car is a true time capsule and is in incredible, original condition. The car shows as nice today as it did over 20 years ago.
