Ten years later when he came home with a Seville we didn't bat an eye.

The Seville is handsome and very well styled, and I even have come to like the bustle back. The eldorado by comparison has an overabundance of sculpted style, with deep three dimensional surfacing that gives the car a much more impressive presence, especially when you're looking at one in person. It's amazing how low these 60s eldorados are, while also being wide and long. It's a breathtaking design that manages to include great details like the vents in the front cowl, along with classic and tasteful baroque formal styling while still remaining quite simple and tasteful. If I was going to turn one of the two interiors into living room furniture, I'd definitely take the great interior of the later Seville. They were great interiors. I'd take the eldorado any day of the week, although I'd prefer a 67 DeVille instead...

In 1968, power windows became standard on all Cadillac models. Another bit of trivia - you could get power front windows on a 1954 Chevrolet, but the rear windows were manual.

Both cars are beautiful. I never liked the way the 1967 Eldorado rode though. It needed longer springs. A more floaty ride, in my opinion. The 1967 was more of a performance luxury car at that point in time. I love everything about the 1984 SeVille except the underpowered 4.1 engine. Out West, that probably wasn't an issue since the land is so flat East of the Rockies but, we have some very steep hills on our highways in the Northeast and in order to maintain 75 MPH on some of them requires that you hold the pedal to the floor. You then have to listen to the engine drone after the transmission changes to the next lowest gear. Sometimes, it will even go into second gear if the hill is steep enough.

Always loved the 1984 Eldorado Touring Coupe, great brakes, great suspension and I thought it looked really cool. Alas, the HT4100 engine--imagine if they kept the 350 that was in the 79/80? Never a fan of that bustle back but to ,me at the time, I was more into the Trans Am as any kid would be. I wondered why the 84/85 Touring Coupes didn't have the 359 since it was the performance model. I think the 80's were the lost decade for Caddy personally, Caddy was rolling the 4100 with 125 ponies while Buick was way over a 100 ponies higher with the 3.8 SFI turbo/intercooled V6. You should find people at Caddy at the time and ask them about their mood. By 84, things were looking up ad you had Monte Carlo SS, the Buick Gran National, Corvette was attempting a comeback and even the Camaro was shedding the malaise era. Never understood Caddy though, the Lincoln LSC was pretty cool and had the 302 in it so the race was over. I was a kid but I did like the touring coupe, thought it was cool (Eagle GTs on a Caccy?) Now to get your mitts on a CTS-V Wagon with a stick--loved the idea and they kicked butt. Never know, now that Tesla sets the bar for electrics, Caddy might roll out a large bardge because they can and throw out a new electric Eldo--electrics do allow for style now so...Thanks for the ride along, I can smell the 60's in that Eldo...

Hi Adam from Sydney , Australia .Selecting a "winner" from these two is a very tough call , as they are both very nice cars. I drive 2 Cadillacs a pair of big rear wheel drive '70's Fleetwood's , a '72 & a '74. Some 33 years ago with a post-tax mid-year bonus I had cash to buy another car. An older mate Frank that was a car dealer, repairer and parts supplier plus wrecker on the border of Bankstown & Punchbowl in western Sydney called me and said Greg I have a Perfect Four for you here at the moment. All were one owner cars all RHD all Cadillacs, a blue '68 Eldo grey/blue leather, a'79 rear wheel drive Seville Elegante in a custom order color & with a padded not painted vinyl top in pale blue with a deep metallic blue paint, and TWO 1980 Seville's one a silver and black Elegante with a 350ci V8 petrol and the other a dark Bronze metallic with a red leather interior & 368 ci/6 litre de-bored big block (like the 68's 7.8 litre)/ I drove them all back to back over several hours. I had loved the '67 to '70 Eldos as a kid when new , but I had not driven one , and was a little shocked at the choppy ride, next I drove the 2 x bustle back '80 Seville's, the 350 v8 was a little quicker off the mark, but the big block 368 cube had it in highway overtake & effortless punch. Then last I drove the RWD '79 Seville, the Olds derived 350ci V8 in that was a rocket, serious get up and go as an export spec engine. Out of the 4 cars it was a tough call between the RWD '79 & the FWD '80 with the 368 in it, it just had big block smoothness and didn't really feel like a FWD car, well balanced. Some days went by, and I was deliberating on which one to buy. Then another mate called me and said you know that Lincoln, you have told me about, but I (he) have never seen, well it's for sale (it had an unmistakable registration plate OIL-001 nsw rego) . It was a TOTAL option bar sunroof, '79 Collectors Series Town Car. I bought it immediately and own it to this day in 2023. After driving it, it was a no contest choice against the 4 Cadillacs as the Aussie Ford Homebush, Sydney built IKEA "flat-pack" kit CKD cars where they arrive as parts to assemble here as right hand-drive cars do not have the American plastic dash modules & panel fronts , NO , they have Aussie made aluminium ones with actual real Mahogany wood with matchwood inlay as the US LHD asymmetric dash modules will not swap to RHD guise. All of the 4 Caddy's Frank had were private imports converted to RHD using cut and joined US version dashboards made of plastic. Whereas the Ford Homebush Aust ' built Lincoln had a way classier quality to it that the others were sorely lacking, good as they were.

The '67 Cadilac was the epitome of sleek futuristic beauty. It was a crime when it was replaced with the disgusting behemoths of the 70s. It was like tight jeans being replaced by floppy bellbottoms. The 70s were hideous!

Maybe if the Seville was black. The placement of the wreath and crest on the steering wheel gives it a Picasso-esque minotaur impression. Like a cyclops bull. Or a robot henchman from Futurama. ...by then the tail lights were all you could see...

When you park them together at about " 3:40 " it definitely looks ( from a style perspective ) that the '67 came way AFTER the '84.

The Eldorado was a beauty, but I preferred the Mark III. I’ve always thought these model Seville’s were head turners. I recall seeing footage of Princess Diana arriving at an event and exiting the rear of a 1980’s Seville. She handled it with style and elegance, just like the car she was a passenger in.

Although the 1967 is a design classic, and still turns heads today, I would not want such a bright brilliant red interior as that. Bright red is too distracting and visually tiring. A deeper muted maroon color would be acceptable, but I would prefer black or grey leather interior.

I find the comparison between the two cars very strange. One is an icon of Cadillac performance and styling, the other is a very nice driving run-of-the-mill strange, looking under powered heavy car. Both cars were in incredible condition.

Wasn’t the black Eldorado. The same one that in the movie Casino . When Joe Pesci character announced that he moving to Vegas? That car was beautiful under the lights.

The '67 Eldorado is stunning to look at and would certainly have turned heads when new for its great appearance and style. Then there is the Seville. I found them extremely unattractive when new due primarily to that hacked off back end. As the years have gone by my tastes and opinions have mellowed. I can appreciate the nice interior and detailing. Still think they remind me of a squatting dog though. Sorry.

The more I look at the 84, the more I dislike it, the 67 however, the opposite - so elegant and handsome. No doubt the 84 is the more comfortable drive though, even if you have to look at that slabby dash with all the fake woodgrain.

There's very little basis for this comparison - kept waiting to see if Adam could pull one out (Bugs Bunny got a lion out of the rabbit hat after all), but it's just too much of a reach.

Not a good comparison. To totally different vehicles. The Eldorado is an automobile and the Seville is a car...

You can't beat the looks of the '67 Eldo! It's best without the vinyl top and in black. I hear those rear side windows don't roll down, but roll back into the sailplane.

if you ever want to sell that 67, please, send me a message. Seriously. No interest in the 84, but the 67.. most definitely.

If I have a '84 Seville I'd get rid of the 4.1 and drop a 4.5 or better 4.9. Same engine family, far better performance..

Thank you once again for another fantastic video! I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it! I really like the cars you like! The 67 Eldorado is an absolute knockout! I was very surprised, as a boy back in 1967 how the Eldorado rode so rough and not very smooth. Our '66 T-Bird was silky smooth by comparison. -Greg in Californis

I've been thinking about your price comparison of the Eldorado to equivalent 60,000 today. While I don't doubt your dollar& time calculations, I'd have to say that be closer to $90,000 in today's auto market. I say that because nowadays, there are a lot of $60,000 cars out there and even pickup trucks. But back in the day, and I remember being a ten-year-old boy, this Eldorado was more expensive than any other American car.. most seem to be delivered at around $9,000 then. Your standard Cadillacs and Lincoln's were in the $7000 range ( I'm talking about how the cars were delivered with all the options normally ordered ) this Eldorado was a jaw-dropper and absolute head-turner and green-envy inducer. I can't think of another car since they could equal the spectacle it was. Your 80's Seville was more of a run-of-the-mill luxury car.. nice but eclipsed in prestige by Mercedes S class at double its price. Thanks again though for posting and the great trip down memory lane.
