1978 Seville by Cadillac Electrical Troubleshooting Manual

This is an original printed automotive technical publication titled '1978 Seville by Cadillac Electrical Troubleshooting Manual.' The manual is a rectangular, soft-cover book featuring a distinctive color palette of burnt orange and white. The front cover showcases a stylized yellow line-art illustration of a 1978 Cadillac Seville limousine-style sedan in a vertical orientation. Notable graphical elements include the formal Cadillac crest in gold and black, script lettering for the 'Seville' brand name, and a serif font for the title text. The cover design includes a geometric white inset bordered by a black line. Regarding condition, the manual displays signs of age and utilitarian use, characteristic of a workshop environment. There are visible white scuffs and potential paint splatters or surface abrasions on the left side of the orange field. Moderate shelf wear is evident along the spine and edges, and a small smudge is present near the word 'Seville.' The paper shows slight tanning around the edges (patina), indicating its age of approximately 45 years. As a factory service manual, it represents high-quality technical documentation produced by General Motors for dealership technicians, featuring detailed wiring diagrams and diagnostic procedures essential for vintage car restoration.
