In 1985 Cadillac launched it’s downsized sixth generation Sedan de Ville model with the strap line “Cadillac of Tomorrow“.

The sixth generation Sedan de Ville was a radical departure from the previous models bearing the same name featuring the old V8 engine and gearbox but both were now transversely mounted because they were driving the front wheels instead of the rear.

Despite the reduction in external dimensions interior dimension remained similar to the fifth Sedan de Ville model.

From the any angle the Sedan de Ville does not look that different to the Volvo 760 first seen in 1982.

Due to an extended model year that started in April 1984 over 200,000 1985 Sedan de Villes were built, the sixth Generation model continued in production until 1993.
