G-MANN ◊ 2008-06-26 18:23	Yet the front of the car is about as American as you can get! This car would be so much better looking if it had a more normal boot (trunk). But then it would probably look just like any other Cadillac of that period. Anyway, can someone tell me the exact year (or year-range) of this model? -- Last edit: 2008-06-26 18:25:41

G-MANN ◊ 2008-06-26 18:38	Um, I think you've got it wrong, this version of the Seville was 1980-85. But I asked which year it was because I think they made a few exterior changes during that time. -- Last edit: 2008-06-26 18:40:43
