Cadillac DeVille (fifth generation, 1977 to 1984)

The year 1977 was Cadillac's 75th anniversary and saw the introduction of the downsized DeVille coupes and sedans. These new cars featured a higher roofline, resulting in a vehicle over 9 inches shorter, 4 inches narrower and half a ton lighter than the previous year, but with a larger trunk and more headroom and legroom. Its model years run from 1977 to 1984. The 1980 facelift and the 1981 V8 6 4 engine came during this generation, which ended in 1984.
