History
Introduced in mid-1975 and billed as the new "internationally-sized" Cadillac, the Seville was almost 1,000 pounds (450 kg) lighter than the full-sized Deville. The Seville was thus more nimble and easier to park, as well as remaining attractive to customers with the full complement of Cadillac features. More expensive than every other Cadillac model at US$12,479, the Seville was successful in the marketplace
The year was 1975 and Cadillac decided to make an old favorite new again. As a result, the name Seville entered the Cadillac line-up once more. It had been fifteen years since Cadillac used the name Seville on their model line-up; however, this Seville was different than any other Cadillac. For one, its overall length was 27 inches shorter than other Cadillac models, as well, the overall width was eight inches smaller, and overall weight for the Seville was some 800 pounds less than other 1975 Cadillac models.
Although smaller than other 1975 Cadillac models, it was still priced above all others, except the Fleetwood 75 Series, at over twelve thousand dollars, this V-8 luxury ride was full of options that rivaled its competitor, the Mercedes-Benz.

1. Paint has very nice patina overall and no major problems, but there are a few touch-up and discoloration areas.
