My "random" 10,000th post. (some 16 1/2 years later)

Spotted on Cinco de Mayo. This Sedan de Ville had less than 100,000 miles on it. And, being a 1977, this car is 45 years old! While I appreciate the car, it's not something I'd want. I didn't even crank the key to hear what the engine might sound like. Almost all of the boulevardiers from this era tend to lose the quiet exhaust notes of when they were new(er), which is too bad. The downsizing from 1976 helped this model, but maybe less so for some of the other full-sizes like those by Pontiac This car sure has a balanced profile. I like how they raised up the rear wheel well without putting a skirt on it. It could have used a piece of chrome on the B-pillar. Looking over these sorts of lines and through a hood ornament is a thing of the past. The padded vinyl roofs looked great on almost all GM full-sizes of this era, and some mid-sizes as well. Fairly nice looking dashboard with a protruding center stack and a cowl ridge at the top of it. Circular gauges would have been nice, but that time hadn't yet arrived. This is a view of the interior of the cabin. Cadillac seemed to have ditched some of the really gaudy cloth interior choices from years before to go with simpler mono-color ones like you see here. Cadillac always paid attention to their interior lighting, like the one you see on the rear sail panel. This is some generous legroom in the rear of the cabin. Bottom line: what a majestic vehicle.
