1978 Cadillac Sedan de Ville | Llangennech, Carmarthenshire

The Sedan de Ville is Cadillac's full-size four-door saloon, known for a soft ride, deep seating and a lot of road presence. The 1978 car comes from the downsized generation introduced in 1977, shorter and narrower than the broad sedan before it but still American in scale. This car is green outside and green inside, a matching scheme that photographs as one calm block of colour. It is in good condition and seats six. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side and the front passenger steps out on the road side, which gives the car an American look on the street. Its long, level body suits late-1970s American settings in film and TV, music videos and advertising. The single colour keeps fashion and editorial photography clean, and at events it gives arrivals a strong presence. It also works for weddings and personal hires. The car is based in Llangennech, Carmarthenshire.
