Buying an incredible time capsule Cadillac from 1985! Specialty Motor Cars Cadillac Seville 

Back when it debuted, it looked even more classy and elegant next to Ford's cheap knock off of it called the "Continental".

The cheap aftermarket SuperFly grill doesn't help either.

How easy/hard is it to remove that spare trunk hump? This gaudy stuff doesn't do it for me. I wonder if the paint under it is damaged? Or else it would just need a lid repaint. And that grille cap would have to go as well. I wonder if they had to drill into the hood for that, or if the holes would be covered by replacing the original hood edge trim.

@@bml33 My guess is the car is pretty much shot after adding that crap. This wouldn't be a concern of mine though as I'd never consider buying it anyway, it's been "molested". Most cars like these have seen too many days in da 'hood and you'll find even more issues to contend with.

@@bml33 Replace trunk lid, only option.

Great story, well told! I feel like I can relate to this with a similar story. I'm 3 years older then you and I vividly recall being in Religious Instructions (every Wed I'd leave the Public School and go to a Catholic school for several hours). I had a fondness for Lincolns as a young boy and LOVED the Mark III and Mark IVs. One day in early 1977 when I was 11 it was almost the end of the class/day and I looked out the window as the Moms were lining up parking to pick up their children. I saw a Triple White Mark V pull up and I was in AWE over it! I thought it was the most gorgeous and fancy car I'd ever seen to date. I rushed out to get a better look at it and wouldn't you know it was the Mom of a classmate whom I had a crush on! LOL I made small talk and said Hi to her mom when she got in the car and said "OH NICE CAR by the way" as if I was there for any other reason. When I got home all I could do was talk about this Lincoln to my parents. I said Its definitely a Lincoln and it looks kind of like a Mark IV but it has these three flaps on the side of the front like a shark! LOLOLOL The mind of an 11 year old. That brought me way back. Thanks for the memories. I'm 58 but thankfully am in great health/shape and feel 23 still so I guess that was only 12 years ago right ???

@@jakereal3604 Thanks for sharing your memories as well! My mind is still around 19 yrs old. My mirror tells me the other stuff is way older. As a side note, I think all car guys are the same in some respects. I always identified people by what they drove and could pretty much name every car, in all of my past memories, going all the way back to around 4 years old. Down to year, make, and model. Very strange.

The Hook and Tow 4100... Nice car though

Maybe Adam might want it

The 86-91 Sevilles are all bucket seat cars, the column shifter returned for the new 1992 Sevilles and Eldorado too, but the seats were still bucket seats.

Excuse me, I'm from Rimini italy have a question about your past work in Clark street. I have a Seville of 1981 4.100, moongrey Met with leather burgundy interior and the fake cabriolet roof. Where Is the chassis Number? I have a plate under the windshield, another plate on the left over the left beam, a Number stamp on the right over the right beam. And on the chassis? For me Is important because the Rimini motor division want to punch a new Number called office Number into the trunk and the same behind the rear left wheel. Thanks
