You'll notice that I said "First" one... I've looked and looked but cannot locate a reference directing me to replacement badging and emblems for a 1984 Seville Elegante (gold emblems and badging).  I KNOW there must be a list of good repro or OEM sellers on here.  But I can't find them and I'm falling asleep.

Could I prevail upon someone here to point me in the right direction?

Just starting to dress up my first vintage Caddy, and I'm really looking forward to being a part of this Forum.

Best,

Doug Cody

Welcome Doug.
I have a 78, and I find most of the stuff I need on Ebay. I search one of two ways.
Cadillac nos  ,  and 1978 Cadillac nos. I find emblems on there all the time , so you should in time find what you need.
Maybe someone has a source for repo's ,and will chime in.

Doug,

I bought a quantity of mint used parts from a guy last year and there are a lot of gold emblems on there.

I also have an NOS gold trunk lock cover and crest I can sell you.

Contact me at " rachlin@comcast.net " and I probably have everything you will need in gold for your Seville.

I mat be tied up today so you may not hear back from me until tomorrow.

Hello Doug

Welcome to the Forum!

This club and forum exist to assist you with "every" question regarding your Cadillac. Brian and Roy exemplify the great and experienced people you will meet. Please do not hesitate to inquire.

Also if the opportunity presents itself try to attend a region meeting near your home to participate in the camaraderie of our organization. We are here to support you.
All good men own a Cadillac but great gentlemen drive a LaSalle. That is the consequence of success.

In the 90s gold packages were very popular on many hi-line makes like Cadillac and Lexus so it was a common dealer add-on. An aftermarket service would come to the lot and apply a gold finish to the existing chrome emblems. If you have trouble finding good used or NOS emblems you may want to try to find one of these services through your local Cadillac dealership.

Many thanks.  I figured there must be some aftermarket "re-golding" option... Appreciate the tip.

Douglas.
Brian is a good source for quality parts. He seems to run across all the good stuff. Including some very nice cars.
If you cant find what your looking for, check with him. He doesn't bite hard.
