The 1980 Cadillac Deville was available as either a coupe or a sedan. For 1980, changes to the vehicle's design made it more aerodynamic and a Cadillac script was on the side of the heavy upper header. 21 body colors were available and both the DeVille and Brougham had a stiffer roof profile this year. In the front, the grille was made up of narrow vertical bars. The base engine was a 6-liter carbureted V8 that offered 150 horsepower. Standard equipment included a convex remote-control right-hand mirror, simulated teak on the instrument panel, and new dual spot map lamp/courtesy lights. The interior came in either Durand knit cloth upholstery or leather seating. The leather was available in ten colors while the cloth came in six colors. Optional equipment included heated side mirrors, Astro-roof, self-sealing tires, six radio choices, and an advanced theft-deterrent system. Opera lamps were standard on the coupe. Three roof-mounted assist straps could be found on the sedan. In 1980, Cadillac sold 104,678 examples of the Deville.
