Popular with European collectors?

My friend Dirk bought one of these limos for parts, particularly the engine, for his '82 Seville that is NOT stretched.

It didn't look that bad. I wouldn't want it, but I'm sure there are a few out there that would.

It's hard to look worse than the original '80. Those bloody things look like hatchbacks to me.

The '75-'79 Seville was a smart-looking car.

The '75-'79 Seville was a smart-looking car.

I always thought so until I owned one.

Too danged small!!! 

Hit my knee on the dogleg everytime I got in or out of it.

 Agreed, they were small. I drove many of these cars years ago and I always felt a bit cramped in them, but they did drive really nice. The bustleback does have more room, and believe it or not, the trunk is actually bigger.

The bustleback is a love it or hate it design.
I hated them when I first saw them, but they grew on me and I always stop to look at them now. That hatchback look was inspired by Rolls Royce.

I don't remember my 1978 Seville being very remarkable with regards to driving but dad's 83 Elegante was great. 

It drove like a Cadillac. 

And it would go through anything; a foot of snow in the backyard was no problem.

 Certainly the second generation Sevilles drove like Cadillacs. They were still a very premium car, and had a very sophisticated chassis. This era of Eldorado drove very similar being based on the same chassis. But more power would have been nice.

I'd part it out. Has to be something on that turd worth a buck....

"This 1980 Cadillac Bustleback Seville limousine is both rare, and attractive. It is a perfect candidate for restoration and could easily be brought back to its original beauty."

Or lack thereof. 
 

Or you could pimp it out.

I don't recall ever seeing a Bustleback pimped. That might be interesting.   

But the regular car I liked. They rode very nice.

Aw c'mon....the Bigfoot 4X4 is pretty cool.

You could crush plebmobiles (say, Mustangs) in absolute comfort.

That first one's hilarious. Is that his take on the Mad Max Interceptor?
