The Plus
In the mid-1970s, the automotive market was undergoing substantial change - and Cadillac was getting worried. Americans in search of luxury were importing BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes and Rolls-Royces, while abandoning the large vehicles they had been so fond of. For the first time in its history, the American philosophy that "bigger is better" seemed to be wavering.
The answer was the Seville - a 'European' sized luxury car with the best equipment the 70s could offer, a sumptuous interior and straight lines inspired by Rolls-Royce. It didn't take long for this model to attract interest.
With its full service history and recent mechanical work, this car is in excellent condition - and thanks to its market-leading equipment at the time, it still boasts modern comforts despite its age.
