New Member : Sheville, 1977 Seville
Hey, my name is Jelmer and I'm from the Netherlands (Europe) I bought this Cadillac 2 years ago when I was 18. I already did a lot of work during this time in order to keep the Seville pleasant to drive.
I've also personalized it slightly. I will keep improving it in the future, until it's completely answering to my demands
I have obtained several books concerned to the car, Most of them:
More about the car; It's an original Swiss car (general motors Suisse) displaying Kilometers, there aren't much of these around. It came with the owners manual in English and a German translation aswell. The service records were also included. I bought it in 2006, it was just imported and had only 77.700 on it (48.500 miles)
Changes I did to the exterior:
-Bi xenon in the outter headlights
-Xenon in the inner headlights
-Removed original Turbine hubcaps (don't want them to be stolen), installed some earlier 70's hubcaps (still have 3 sets of these left)
-30% blue tint on the side front windows
-3% tint on the rear windows
I had the complete interior tore down to the metal, everything was still rustfree, here's a list of things I've done:
-Everything has been cleaned; carpets, leather etc.
-Did a lot of wiring before the carpet went back in.
-Modern head unit under seat with transmitter
-Extra switches for additional High beams, interior lightning + dimmer
-Extra +12V Outlets
-Led lightning everywere
-New speakers
-Different steering wheel, it's a 73-75 model (Mine was cracked and didn't have the wood insert anymore)
-It's 100% complete again, down to all the cigarette lighters... and everything works!
Here are the interior pictures, the upholstery is all original 1977:
Both front seats are 6 way power, it was an overpriced option. So you won't find it on every Seville
I've added an tachometer, but it disturbed the look of the dash, so I removed it later
Sorry for so many pictures, but it was hard to make a selection from almost thoussand photo's. Hope you like it. I will update any changes
The car isn't my daily driver. I have a '88 Chevrolet C1500 for that duty. I also have a '93 Lexus LS400 with every option, which I 'preserve' in the garage.

RE: 1977 Seville : Sheville
Thanks for the possitive comments! Sorry for the inconvenience; it's a 1977 Seville yes.
@Stealth; I think this is a better section too, didn't came around it when I posted the above story
@cadmat: A friend of mine did the black and white's with his Cannon EOS400D, I like these the most too. It was near the beach here.
