Cadillac Seville Opera Coupe, Part 1





The first generation of another Cadillac made by the Global Coach Corporation. Although similar in design, it's one of their first customizations and much, much worse.

Basically, the front of the car has that same stretched look with fake tires. Except this time the grille is taller and narrower, and looks like it was taken from another car.

However, where it really fails is from the windshield back. The Eldorado is a coupe, and therefore has nice long coupe doors. The Seville is a sedan. Instead of making new doors, the just used the ones of the sedan. So they're tiny in comparison to the body. Made worse by the 50 foot front end. And of course there's the customary neoclassic roof, which contains no windows aft of the doors and ends abruptly.
