But the 1978 Cadillac coupe deville in your collection is actuallly a 1979. The '78 had a bigger egg crate grille. I owned a '79 coupe de ville in the same color as the one pictured. You can also see one just like it in the movie from last year "Elizabethtown"
You could even order them with a diesel engine, that horrible GM idea of one anyway, the one that was actually a gas engine that could run on diesel and grenaded constantly.

Thanks, I didn't even know, now I'll be on the lookout to determine (hmm... 78 or 79?). Despite their age, I still see them regularly, probably because they were made in such massive numbers. My mother had a 1978 Coupe DeVille before I was born, it was black, the "landau" portion was black as well, with a black interior, and wire spoke wheel covers. By the time I was born however, she'd stopped driving it in favor of a 85 Mercury Cougar, and was now looking for a nice four door car to haul me around in, and that's when we got the 300SD.
