I think all Cadillacs in the 70s were the same
They kept the same lines for 20 years
The Caddy made huge changes in '77. 1976 and 1977 were totally different cars. I had a '76 and drove it for 15 years. Almost all of that time I also had other vehicles. The Caddy was for special occasions, including numerous cross country road trips and vacations.Bullshit. Off the top of my head, a 1976 and a 1977 are TOTALLY different cars!

The biggest differences were size and the '76 was the last year for rear wheel drive. '77 began the era of front wheel drive. Size wise, the '76 was longer in length and wider. The '77 came with a 425 cu engine and the '76 had the huge 500 cu. '76 wanted to go faster at 120 mph. The '77 top ended out at about 110-115.
I presently own a 1995 Sedan DeVille which is in 98 percent mint condition. 76k miles, hunter green, ivory interior, drives and rides like new. There are no new cars that compare with it!The Caddy made huge changes in '77. 1976 and 1977 were totally different cars. I had a '76 and drove it for 15 years.

I get 9 - 10 mpg from my '95 DeVille. But I love the car and I don't need it for daily commuting, etc.I had a 1966 Cadillac at 17, it looks just like the 1970's models, and got 7 miles to the gallon...

Ya, I'm wrong about the fwd. Those were still only the el dorado's and some experimental Sevilles. De Villes didn't go fwd for years later, but the size of the 77 was way smaller and the 425 couldn't keep up with the 500.The Caddy made huge changes in '77. 1976 and 1977 were totally different cars.

BULLSHIT! I OWN a 1979 de Ville...it's RWD, which ran until 1996!
The 1976 500 had only 190HP. The 1977 425 had, IIRC, 185 (carb) or 200 (EFI) horsepower. (Kalifornia may have been down a bit from that.)
The Eldo was FWD from the first in 1968. The Seville was RWD (a rebodied Nova) from 1975-79, FWD from 1980.
A 1977 will handily dust a 1976, simply because the 1977 lost almost half a ton!
Well none of the ones I ever pulled up next to dusted me, but that doesn't really prove anything. I never raced it off the line. Only open road random contest. Maybe I was just willing to go faster than the other guy.The Eldo was FWD from the first in 1968. The Seville was RWD (a rebodied Nova) from 1975-79, FWD from 1980.

I had a '76 Seville. Great car, but didn't really make any sense conceptually. It was smaller than the big ones but just as heavy and no more economical.
