Yea per the pictures on the Wikipedia article about the Cadillac Seville it's a "first generation" Seville, meaning model years '76-'79.
This particular instance of "the comfort of luxury" is an old comfort of midsize luxury!

More from the South Side of South Bend. Despite the bright sun it was a bitterly cold day.
I had some other shots of this place that I immediately liked better, especially in color. This one was over-exposed and no good. I wished it had come out better because I liked the addition of that broken sign at the top. Then on impulse I did a little processing and was amazed that there was a decent picture inside of it!
My theory has always been that if color doesn't add something essential to a picture then it detracts.

This photo was posted last December (12/10), but I'm bringing it to the front again because I drove by the location on my way in this morning only to find the Firestone dealer is gone, and the building has been stripped of all it's neon. This sign still stands, but has been stripped of it's tubing. The Bridgestone sign has been removed, and the building is empty and appears to be going through a transformation into something new.
Once again, shoot it now because it may be gone tomorrow.

Firestone dealer in Hackensack NJ still using the original neon signs on his shop. There are three neon signs, one freestanding, and two on the building.
AGB Tires

One block up the street is the actual home of God Bless Tires. Someday I'll post up a good picture of its frontage. Their disapproving looks made me a little shy about it on this day.
This was a drive-by photo, hence the reason for the left edge of the gas station being cut out of the view. I definitely would like to stop by here again, to try and get even better photos. Not long after this station was built, this highway was bypassed, as current Hwy 78 to the west looks very new on the 1971 HistoricAerials.com photo. While the interchange at "New 78" and Craft Rd. to the north was already complete, or very nearly completed, Goodman Rd. didn't even have exit ramps installed yet! Hard to believe, as that area is a near non-stop traffic jam these days. This old route of Hwy 78 eventually came to be renumbered 178. Zooming in on this station in the 1971 aerial reveals it had a much smaller canopy on the front, and an "open-air" pump station on the building's side. Going back to the next available aerial photo in 1957, it certainly looks like (photo is very pixelated) what could of been one of those very small, cottage-style service stations at this location back then!

I would like to think Chevron gives this owner nearly anything he wants, in order to keep this beauty in business. Hence, all the modern updates. There's a Chevron in Hernando (nowhere near this nice) that sells non-liberal, non tree-hugging, good ole' American ethanol-free gas. It does a bang-up business. I have to wonder if this Chevron sells ethanol-free gas as well.

Harold's Auto Center on US 19 in Brooksville Florida. I thought I'd do something a little different with a 'then-and-now' approach. The 'then' picture is a postcard from when the station was a fairly new Sinclair station. It shows the now long-gone gas pumps and Sinclair sign. Due to changes in terrain and the power-lines, I wasn't able to get the exact same perspective as the postcard, but its close.
* Built in 1964 as a Sinclair gas station.
* Sinclair pulled out of Florida in 1977, and Harold Hurst purchased the station.
* Harold 's did repairs and sold gas for another brand until the 1990's, then became repairs only.
* US 19 was only two lanes when Harold bought the station.
* The dinosaur is made of concrete, is 100 feet long and 47 feet high. Its eyes still light up.
* Harold's son, Dana, still runs the place.

"Gilberto is the man ... Great guys, great service. If you go in, in the mid afternoon a food truck drives through with hot sandwiches."– Drew E.
Allegedly this will be reborn as a brewpub. Kind of hard to see how the existing building would work for that; but approval for modifying any structure smack in the middle of the floodplain gets tricky.
